Water is a ‘wicked’ problem – we have to reach for the sky
The CWR team hails from diverse backgrounds – from hydrology, finance to environmental consultancy but we all believe that nothing is impossible and will continue to ‘reach for the sky’ to bring about systemic change. Our alumni comprising of staff, interns and volunteers is also important to us and we would also like to thank them for their contribution.
We also have a small but highly effective Advisory Panel that brings unique knowledge and skills that complement the team. The Panel does not have formal responsibilities but provides intellectual capital on water risk in Asia and ensures that CWR remains effective and relevant.
