The precarious state of water has impacts on our climate, society, and the economy. “8-15% GDP losses across the world in the next decade. That’s a massive number. And with that, undermining food security for all. This is not a Global South problem,” highlights our Executive Director Henk Ovink 👇 #WorldWaterDay #EconomicsOfWater #WaterAction
💧 Water insecurity poses a significant threat to global systems, impacting agriculture, public health, energy production, and biodiversity conservation. This #WorldWaterDay, we highlight the critical role of collaboration and investment in breakthrough water innovation to advance wastewater treatment, strengthen water infrastructure, and enhance our resilience for the future. 🚰 UpLink and HCL Group launched the Aquapreneur Innovation Initiative, supported by the Forum’s Food and Water Initiative, brings together innovators, partners, industry leaders, policymakers and experts to build an ecosystem for water innovation to flourish.
