UNU-INWEH acts as the “United Nations’ Think Tank on Water”. We respond directly to the regional and global water crisis and facilitate efforts to meet UN Development goals by providing a scientific evidence base. Our vision is to create a world free of water problems where sustainable human development and environmental health and security are assured for all. The United Nations University is not a traditional university in the sense of having a faculty, campus, or students. It carries out its work in cooperation with other research institutions, international organizations, and individual scholars and scientists throughout the world.
