Public-private collaboration on water, key to achieving SDGs | World . . . Other critical innovations include those around storage systems for water, leakage in water delivery systems, agriculture, recycling industrial wastewater, and water-efficient energy systems These areas and technologies, often requiring collaboration between public and private sectors, hold the potential to reshape water management paradigms
Here are 5 ways we can build global water systems resilience Water scarcity, pollution and extreme weather events driven by climate change, population growth and industrial demand are pushing global water systems to critical levels Building water resilience hinges on cross-sector partnerships, tailored financing and adopting innovative governance and policy frameworks
These breakthrough technologies can lead us to a zero water waste . . . To demystify the water technology landscape and elevate the most scalable solutions in this space, UpLink recently ran the Zero Water Waste Challenge, from which the top 10 water-focused entrepreneurs or 'Aquapreneurs' from a pool of 192 applicants representing 40 different countries have now been announced
How big an impact do humans have on the water cycle . . . - World . . . World Water Day is held on 22 March every year to raise awareness of the importance of freshwater and the challenges billions face in getting access to safe water A growing population, the increasing demands of human use for agriculture and industry, plus the effects of climate change all put water under threat
Water Futures: Mobilizing Multi-Stakeholder Action for Resilience Access to freshwater is changing rapidly, with water stress affecting billions of people and countless businesses each year Droughts and floods are becoming more frequent and severe, water pollution continues to rise and, without urgent action, we will soon reach a tipping point This report outlines key pathways to strengthen water resilience, through private sector and multi-stakeholder
Why water security is our most urgent challenge today Water is closely linked to many challenges, but perhaps none so pressing as climate change The climate crisis is severely disrupting the water cycle on which people and the planet depend Water is at the centre of this crisis: nine out of 10 climate events are water related Droughts and floods continue to grow in intensity, groundwater is
What is World Water Day? | World Economic Forum And so World Water Day has been observed since 1993 to highlight the work that remains to ensure everyone on Earth has access to clean drinking water And while it's a high-profile issue – check out our podcast with Matt Damon below – the figures above emphasize the challenges that remain, especially with freshwater usage increasing each year
The key to solving the global water crisis? Collaboration Water is a highly complex and fragmented area That is why collaboration is key to helping solve this challenge, experts say The Aquapreneur Innovation Initiative, from the Forum's UpLink platform, is connecting water start-ups with stakeholders across the sector to foster a culture of collaboration for water
Digital twins are transforming the world of water management The success of the Lushan Water Supply Company exemplifies how digital twin technology can enhance efficiency on a local scale Yet, with urbanization rates skyrocketing, the need for scalable water-management solutions becomes increasingly urgent Cross-sector collaboration will be necessary to tackle broader water-management issues at both
Water management is political. A climate scientist explains why | World . . . And it's true that we should frame the question of water as a question of access But it's more than that It's also a question of exercising sovereignty over the landscape Achieving water security is much more than having access to water to drink, it's about water that serves the purposes of development and of social cohesion
