The global economy is moving in frightening new directions. Floods and droughts are reaching unpredictable new extremes. Markets are convulsed with uncertainty. But there is one constant: water. It provides continuity and reassurance in a changing world. More than that, the infrastructure and technologies we use to manage water can provide solutions to the challenges the world is facing today.

But there is one
constant: water.

At the 2023 Global Water Summit in Berlin on May 8-10 we will explored those opportunities, asking the following questions:

How can we use the water climate nexus to solve both challenges at once?

How can we turn concerns about inflation into a productivity revolution in water?

How can we use rising public sector borrowing costs to redefine capital efficiency in procurement?

How can water become the most significant investment theme of the 2020s?

Keynote Speaker: Christiana Figueres

Co-host of the podcast “Outrage & Optimism” and Former Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
