Water crises, food crises, failure to mitigate and adapt to climate change. No, these are not catastrophic scenarios, they are part of our reality..In the World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report 2018, the water crises rank for the 7th consecutive year among the top 5 global societal risks in terms of impact.
Water Innovation Europe is returning for its 2018 edition under the theme ‘The road towards a water-smart society: Overcoming the water challenges of the future’ on 13& 14 June 2018 in Brussels to shed light on how Europe can ensure availability of water for urban, agricultural, and industrial use and deal with the risks of increasing water scarcity, pollution of fresh water sources, and impacts of climate change.
- How has Europe responded thus far to the water crises?
- What are the threats and the opportunities?
- Does the European Water industry interact sufficiently with other sectoral interests?
- What role can European knowledge, research, and innovative solutions play in addressing the water crises both in Europe and beyond?
- Do we need a ‘Water Mission’ under FP9? If so, how should it look like?
The next years will be important for the water sector.
Be among the ones that will play an active part.
