The conference objectives are to:

• Explore the impacts of emerging pollutants on water resources, considering technical and policy solutions to mitigate and reduce human health and ecological risks, bearing in mind increasing demand on water resources, as well as impacts of global climatic and demographic changes.
• Identify the appropriate water policies and technologies needed to motivate change in water management, business, and policy priorities to address emerging pollutants.
• Highlight the bold policy and institutional change needed to support the transformation in water management and policy and across other sectors to ensure better and more reliable water quality to protect human health and ecosystems.
• Showcase successful efforts of innovative, nature-positive, and technological solutions for improved water quality and reduced water pollution.
• Examine the life cycle management of emerging pollutants to find solutions not only at end-of-pipe, but also solutions based on a circular economy approach and working with industry, regulators, and local communities, as well as engaging all relevant stakeholders (including under-represented groups).

Registration and participation in the conference is free for all participants, thanks to the generous support of . is now open.

The overarching theme of the online conference is “Emerging Pollutants: Protecting Water Quality for the Health of People and the Environment”. This theme was selected to focus the conference on the intersection of the science-policy interface when addressing emerging pollutants, and steps and mechanisms that must be pursued to protect the health of people and the environment. The sub-themes of the conference are:

• Theme 1: Emerging pollutants in aquatic ecosystems
• Theme 2: Emerging pollutants and groundwater
• Theme 3: Emerging pollutants and managing wastewater and waste
• Theme 4: A circular economy approach: Lifecycle management of emerging pollutants
• Theme 5: “Priority” emerging pollutants in the hydro cycle: microplastics, nanomaterial, PFAs and PPCPs
