SIWI’s Source to Sea Action Platform

The S2S Platform leverages the voice of its partners to keep source-to-sea action on the agenda. Partners grounded in research, implementation and monitoring strengthen the evidence-base and build the demand for source-to-sea action. They demonstrate that a source-to-sea approach is needed to address persistent and rising issues such as climate change, water and marine pollution, and biodiversity decline.

The Platform builds capacity in source-to-sea management and works to provide local practitioners with the required resources to plan and act holistically. The global network of partners connects to share learnings and expertise, with each other and beyond, to grow the source-to-sea community.

The activities of the S2S Platform are supported by a secretariat, hosted by the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI). The secretariat helps to maintain a vibrant community of committed source-to-sea advocates through facilitating partner engagement activities and supporting collaborative activities.
