Henk Ovink

Executive Director

Henk Ovink is executive director of the Global Commission on the Economics of Water, an independent commission convened to rethink how the world values, governs and finances water, and whose reports frame water as a global common good rather than a purely local resource. He previously served as the Netherlands' first special envoy for international water affairs, a role in which he represented the country on water security and worked with governments on flood risk, delta planning and water diplomacy.
