CDP UN 2023 Water Conference Virtual Side Event – Sparking a Water Ambition Loop

Dawn Mcgregor will be speaking on a panel discussion at the CDP Virtual Side Event “Sparking a Water Ambition Loop” UN 2023 Water Conference

CDP and the High Level Climate Champions would like to invite you to join us at our virtual official side event for the UN 2023 Water Conference – Sparking a Water Ambition Loop.

Thousands of large companies are disclosing via CDP that the current state of water insecurity is untenable and resulting in significant risks and impacts on their businesses. Many are leading the way by setting bold ambitions to reduce their dependency on high consumption of freshwater resources and designing-out polluting substances from products and processes, often inspired by the disclosure process. These politically powerful and influential voices have the potential to push governments to accelerate the pace and scale of innovation and investments in water solutions.

The event will support the aims of the Conference by showcasing ambitious non-state actors’ near- and long-term actions, and demonstrating how they can contribute to a water-secure future within the planetary boundaries that serves both people and planet.
