𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐄𝐔 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬💧🌍 Water stress is a major concern in the EU today and is projected to worsen significantly in the future. Currently, around 20% of European territory and 30% of Europeans suffer from water stress annually, according to the European Environment Agency. The economic cost is estimated at around €9 billion each year, potentially reaching €65 billion per year by the end of the century, excluding damage to ecosystems and people. 💸🌿 This issue affects us all across the EU, impacting water supply, industries, agriculture, and energy production. Therefore, it is crucial to adopt water-saving measures across all sectors, especially in industry. 🏭🚜⚡ Light industries in the EU alone have the potential to save 50-75% of their water use by adopting decentralized water circularity. Saving water and creating water resilience is necessary for Europe to stay competitive. 𝑾𝒊𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓, 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒃𝒆 𝒏𝒐 𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒐𝒎𝒊𝒄 𝒈𝒓𝒐𝒘𝒕𝒉.💧📉 By addressing these gaps, we can reduce water stress, enhance industrial sustainability, and meet key EU Green Deal objectives. Let’s push for a coherent water strategy that makes water resilience and water circularity a legal priority! 🌍🔄📜 We look forward to collaborating with Jessika Roswall, the new Commissioner for Environment, Water Resilience, and a Competitive Circular Economy, to ensure a future-proof, water-resilient Europe. 🤝🇪🇺 Join the movement for water circularity and a competitive EU! 🌍💧🔄 For more information, please see the white paper on Industrial Water Savings prepared by Ramboll and Grundfos. 📄🔍 Jonas Fredsted Villadsen Katrine Kristensen Michael Hunnicke Jensen #WaterSavings #Sustainability #EURegulation #CircularEconomy #BlueDeal #WaterReuse #WaterResilience

  The Pacific Institute’s new Strategic Plan through 2026 marks a turning point in the global push toward water resilience. As Jason Morrison shares in this Q&A blogpost, the plan centers on four critical Impact Areas - Water Equity, Water Efficiency and Reuse, Nature-Based Solutions, and Corporate Water Stewardship - all designed to catalyze the transformation to water resilience in the face of #ClimateChange by 2030.    This plan is more than a roadmap - it's a call to action. As Jason says, "The greatest challenge is also our greatest opportunity: making sure that solutions are implemented at scale."    Learn how this bold strategy is set to scale impactful water solutions, informed by nearly four decades of evidence-based research expertise and collaboration.    Read the blog and join us on this journey: https://lnkd.in/gGNg4rzx Download the Strategic Plan here: https://lnkd.in/gWXYnHXV    #WaterResilience2030 #PacificInstitute2030Impact Felicia Marcus | Tony Stayner | Vedika Bhandarkar | J.

Let's understand the critical role of ETPs in Environmental Sustainability. . 1. ETPs are crucial for environmental protection. They prevent industrial wastewater from polluting rivers, lakes, and oceans, safeguarding aquatic life and human health. 2. ETPs contribute to resource conservation. By treating wastewater, ETPs can help recover valuable resources like water and energy. 3. ETPs promote sustainable industrial practices. They encourage industries to adopt environmentally responsible practices and minimize their environmental impact. 4. ETPs play a vital role in achieving sustainable development goals. By ensuring clean water and sanitation, ETPs contribute to improving public health and well-being. 5. Technological advancements are constantly improving ETP efficiency. New technologies are being developed to enhance treatment processes and reduce the environmental footprint of ETPs. . . #ETP #WastewaterTreatment #EnvironmentalProtection #WaterQuality #CleanWater #Sustainability #GreenTechnology #EnvironmentalEngineering #PollutionControl #SustainableDevelopment #saibiocare

We’re excited to share the key takeaways from the Investing in Water event, hosted by responsAbility Investments AG and expertly organized by GreenBuzz Zurich! 🌿💧    As the global water crisis intensifies—whether it’s too little, too much, or too polluted—proactive water management and strategic investment have never been more essential.    We had excellent contributions from Lucie Gerber, Daniel Wild, and Fabio Hüther, PhD h.c. Eng. Bringing together diverse perspectives from finance, engineering and consulting sparked important discussions on how to advance sustainable water management solutions.    💡 Camille Fronville and Vincent B. from responsAbility provided valuable insights into the expanding market for water investments, particularly in developing countries, and explored the complexities of managing water systems sustainably in these regions. 🎥 Watch our recap video below to explore how experts are navigating the future of #WaterFinance and why investing in sustainable water management is more important than ever.    #Sustainability #Zurich #WaterManagement #ClimateAction #FinanceForGood #InvestingInWater #responsAbility #GreenBuzzZurich    📷 Photos: Michele McCoig 

Water is the most essential source of human life. It hydrates us, keeps us healthy, and cleans our bodies. Water sustains global food systems, economies, and environments. Without it, our families and communities cannot thrive. Today, the US Water Alliance asks us to “Imagine a Day Without Water”, and we’d like to know: 𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫, 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞? The Hawai‘i Community Foundation’s Fresh Water Initiative is designed to pro-actively address and resolve water supply issues. In order to tackle this important issue, HCF has convened stakeholders from all sides of the issue—agriculture, private landowners, scientists, and government officials—all working to implement a strong, proactive agenda to protect Hawai‘i’s fresh water future, and avoid costly problems down the road. The Blueprint for Action lays a foundation for a sustainable water future for our state with a goal of providing 100 million gallons a day of additional reliable fresh water supply by 2030. Thus far it has helped support and pass 13 key state and county policy actions that will improve Hawai‘i’s ability to capture, reuse, and store fresh water—making us all a little more secure. In 2024, HCF launched the Hawaiian Islands Environmental Finance Center, a Category 2 – Regional Water Infrastructure EFC with BIL funding, to support long-term water sustainability and water infrastructure resilience across the state of Hawai‘i.
