A shared vision for the future

In the State of the Climate Report 2021, the World Meteorological Organisation warned that if we continue on the current trajectory, global temperature rise will exceed 2°C above pre-industrial levels by the end of the century. As global temperatures rise, extreme weather events such as flooding, droughts and heatwaves are expected to be more frequent. Co-founder Sarah Bunney underscores the importance of forging a shared vision for the future. The sector is increasingly embracing cross-sector collaboration, digital innovation, and nature-based solutions to address the challenges posed by climate change. Smart sensors enable real-time monitoring, while initiatives like water reuse and stormwater management are gaining momentum. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown that rapid change is possible, and the water sector is poised to lead the way in shaping a sustainable future amidst a rapidly changing climate.
