- Here are 5 ways we can build global water systems resilience
Building water resilience hinges on cross-sector partnerships, tailored financing and adopting innovative governance and policy frameworks Five essential strategies – holistic water valuation, fit-for-purpose financing, basin-level partnerships, adaptive governance and a policy-innovation nexus – can help ensure long-term water security
- 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
- Investing in water resilience is crucial – and a major opportunity
Nature-based solutions, or “green” infrastructure – as alternatives to human-built “grey” infrastructure such as dams or river regulations – are proven to deliver cost-effective, measurable and sustainable benefits to drive water resilience for people and nature, especially those most vulnerable to climate impacts
- 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
- 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
