Water Solutions for a Resilient Net Zero Future

Date: August 2024



Abstract

This event presents why and how to invest in water to enable resilient low emission development. It will present solutions across agriculture, water, sanitation, energy and nature based solutions; policy triggers to overcome barriers and mainstream water into climate actions; and financing; including high integrity carbon credits and more.

This event will present why and how we can invest in improved water management to curb emissions and ensure low emission pathways are resilient in a shifting climate. Solutions will cover immediate win-win strategies to reduce methane and carbon emissions in nature, agriculture, power and water sector; policy triggers, including improving integration of water into net-zero standards and measures in national and corporate governance; and financing mechanisms, such as high integrity voluntary carbon credits, that can and are implemented today. The event will include presentations of latest research on water linkages to climate mitigation and highlight opportunities to expand commitments to net-zero water utilities, methane reduction in rice production, and hydropower development while mobilizing water organizations to promote wetland and peatland conservation. Following presentations of actionable solutions and means to scale implementation, lively debate and discussions will be held on priorities to overcome barriers for investment in water as well as to mainstream water resilience within public and private sector decarbonization
