Could water security cost $12.6 trillion by 2024?
Our recently published whitepaper, Investing in a Water-Secure Future, forecasts just this. If we miss the UN’s 1.5°C target for global warming, we will unleash a massive increase in severe climate change impacts – a commensurate increase in water security investment becomes imperative.
But needing investment and money changing hands are not the same thing. We must also ask ourselves: “What can be done to make this investment real?”. The conversation about how we engage capital markets in this begins at GWS.
GWS: Making business opportunities real
The Global Water Summit has always been about connecting water and money. This year we are doubling down on that, hosting the summit in London where we will engage representatives from across the financial community, and help transform grave water challenges into opportunities.

- How can the water sector deliver the financial returns necessary to attract the investment it needs?
- What are the risks if we do nothing?
