What’s holding back progress on water scarcity, and how do we build scalable solutions? At our COP29 Water in the Balance panel, we explored the systems-level barriers standing in the way of meaningful progress. A key roadblock? The lack of universally accepted financial models that account for water’s real value. To move forward, we need innovative financing mechanisms to mobilize impact capital, harness technologies like AI-powered forecasting tools, and prioritize cross-sector collaboration to unlock scalable solutions. Thank you to Kostis A. Tselenis for moderating and to our panelists Tobias Binder, Dennis Levine, Paul Nimmerfall, Will Muecke, and Paul Buysens for sharing their insights.

"Localization isn’t just about saving the planet; it’s about healing the human spirit and rebuilding the fabric of community and nature." – Helena Norberg-Hodge, Founder & Director of Local Futures In our recent webinar, Helena discussed the pitfalls of globalization and shared concrete examples of the transformative potential of localization.
