Climate Change: How Should Water Utilities Respond to the IPCC’s Call to Action?

While we respond to other pressing global challenges, climate change remains one of the biggest threats to life on this planet as we know it. As anchor institutions embedded in nearly every community, water systems have an opportunity to accelerate our progress, playing an even bigger role in delivering decarbonization and resilience measures against climate change. In this webinar we will present the key findings of the recent IPCC AR6 ‘Physical Science Basis’ report of greatest relevance to the Water sector. We will help identify the potential vulnerabilities and make practical recommendations for resilience actions that can be taken to pro-actively manage them.
