Last week was the #EUGreenWeek where John Bell participated to both the plenary session “Cascading water: Creating a water-smart EU economy” and to the Water4All - Partnership event “Water4All boosting EU Water Resilience” on Thursday 30 May. “Developing a system approach for R&I in water to allow technologies to access the market and build the water resilience of tomorrow” was his main message. On the same day, our #MissionOcean projects REMEDIES and Upstream Horizon presented solutions for tackling microplastic pollution in waters. You can watch back the events here: https://lnkd.in/eCCA_jwn and https://lnkd.in/eH9EDzxV. #WaterWiseEU – See water differently Follow one more side event on 13 June, which will feature Horizon Europe projects on Water governance: join the synergy group Water Governance 2027 #WG2027 for valuable insights from experts involved in three 🇪🇺Horizon Europe projects RETOUCH NEXUS project, InnWater & GOVAQUA dedicated to improving water governance.

Echoing Saroj Kumar Jha keynote today at #WorldWaterCongress in Toronto - a key message emerging from the REACH programme is the importance of investing in maintenance as well as new #water infrastructure: "Repairing rural water infrastructure quickly through professionalized maintenance can reduce costs and increase social and economic returns, with benefits for low income households and women."

The Climate Crisis Advisory Group's (CCAG) latest report highlights the critical need for transparency, scientific rigor, and strong regulatory oversight to ensure these markets truly deliver on their promise. At Callirius AG, we are tackling these challenges head-on. By adhering to the highest standards in transparency, scientific accuracy, and compliance, we are not just offering carbon credits - we are delivering real, measurable impact. Our projects align with CCAG's best practices and recommendations, ensuring your investment in carbon credits leads to genuine, lasting emissions reductions. 👉 Read the full blog post on our website to explore how Callirius is pioneering sustainable climate solutions: [Link in Comments] Let’s work together to transform potential into action and lead the way toward sustainable climate solutions. 🌱 #ClimateAction #VoluntaryCarbonMarkets #Sustainability #CarbonCredits #Callirius

Dillon Consulting Limited in collaboration with Arbor present a second article delving into the key aspects of the B-15 guidelines and provide practical insights on how FRFIs can navigate this regulatory landscape effectively. Together, Dillon and Arbor are not only making sustainability simple and approachable but also fostering responsible business decisions that benefit our planet. #climaterisk #sustainabilitymatters #OSFI #DillonConsulting

Ashim Paun, Head of Sustainable Investing at Triton, discussed investments in the water industry with Danish publication CleantechWatch.    In the interview, he highlighted the impact of population growth and climate change on global water resources as a megatrend, emphasising the growing need for investment in drinking water solutions, wastewater treatment, and climate adaptation.    Triton's approach to managing water risk and investing behind the trend are detailed in a recent Spotlight report: https://lnkd.in/eY6fRk6V   Read the full article here (Danish): https://lnkd.in/eZiva8MH   Find out more about responsible investment at Triton here: https://lnkd.in/dBc3khu   #valuecreation #esg #sustainableinvesting #sustainability #buildingbetterbusinesses

It was great to be part of the World Water-Tech Innovation Summit in London, listen to some fantastic speakers and panel discussions, and watch how the pace and scope of innovation in the water sector is proceeding.   In our panel of Expanding Reuse in the Face of Water Scarcity, we had an opportunity to debate how the impact of climate change and water scarcity is affecting both people and industries alike. Alternative sources of water, from both a centralised (in the instance of water utilities) and decentralised (in the instances of industry) perspective have cemented themselves in our society in our journey to reduce water stress, decrease dependency on scarce water resources and increase water sustainability.   Water reuse forms part of sustainability planning and water stewardship for industry, which is being increasingly subjected to government regulation as well as voluntary and mandatory reporting. Volumetric Based Accounting (VBA) for water has now been accepted as part of financial reporting.   We at #GWF take this to heart. Part of our contribution towards making a tangible difference is providing practical, valuable, and actionable service and decision support systems through our WaterLeader initiative. Our WATER RISK DETECTOR and WATER STEWARDSHIP tools directly support the private sector in achieving their sustainability goals and commitments, providing operational oversight, site accreditation, reporting and disclosure.   Reach out to Gary Vincent, Brynn Williams, Chris Bold and Markus Stolz to find out how we can assist industry in improving water efficiency, promote water stewardship and assist with voluntary and mandatory reporting.   #WorldWaterTech #GWF #waterstewardship #sustainabilityreporting #sustainablebusiness #WTRLDR #waterleader

Are we a bit obsessed with water?   Of course, as a company that extracts CO2 from water, everyone who is working on Mission 2030 of Pure Carbon Blue talks about water all day. But that isn't necessarily a bad thing. In fact, we've learned that water is good for the body, good for business and good for the environment.   And now we even go to the Amsterdam International Water Week.   This is a two-day conference from the 7th to the 8th of November. Because this event brings together experts in or related to the water sector. Professionals who, just like us, see water as an enabler to accelerate resilient and sustainable development. This allows us to talk with like minded people about our Direct Water Capture system that we'd like to build before 2030. Because the more business leaders, researchers and policymakers discuss the solutions the world can implement today, the better.   Sometimes it pays off being a little bit obsessed.   What's your favorite obsession? Let us know in the comments.   #water #AIWW#ClimateAction #DirectWaterCapture #CarbonNeutralEmissions #CarbonNegativeEmissions

Exciting News! The ‘Decarbonizing Water: Applying the Voluntary Carbon Market toward Global Water Security’ report is available now. The water sector contributes 10% of global emissions, more than the aviation and maritime sectors combined. Harnessing market mechanisms such as voluntary carbon markets can deliver a triple win: emissions reduction, improved water security, and improved access to safe water and sanitation for millions of people. The report explains how water projects can be brought into the global carbon credit economy. Maximizing the use of voluntary carbon markets for projects in water sub-sectors such as coastal blue carbon, wastewater treatment, and energy efficiency can generate more than 1.6 billion carbon credits per year. This could yield $160 billion toward improving global water security over the next decade. We are honored to have worked on this project with CU Boulder’s Mortenson Center in Global Engineering & Resilience and are looking forward to working alongside our partners WaterAid’s Resilient Water Accelerator, VCMI, and HSBC to share the findings with stakeholders globally.
