At the #Roundtable @COP25CL #TimeForAction Building a Resilient Future through Water. 1) By default & disaster the world finally understands that climate change hits us hardest through water: too much, too little, polluted.
2) Understand, value & manage water best and it can be the leverage for inclusive comprehensive impactful change. Investing in water delivers returns outside of the water sector. These interdependencies need to be captured and valued. #TimeForChange @COP25CL
3) the #2030agenda and the #COP21 agreement are one and the same for the future of our planet & society. Water cuts across all, as a dealbreaker but can be the dealmaker. #TimeForChange @COP25CL
4) water is key for mitigation: sequester CO2, reduce energy, cut CO2 footprint, and adaptation with water resilience: nature based solutions key for resilience, sustainability, mitigation & adaptation, and cutting costs in CapEx and OpEx @EcoShapeBwN #TimeForChange @COP25CL
5) necessary to match long term comprehensive plans with short term innovative projects, in inclusive governance & transparency + accountability >> these build & strengthen the enabling environment - institutional, individual, informal. #TimeForChange @COP25CL
6) stop our investments in stupid infrastructure. The business case for single focused & crippling infrastructure is based on financial short term gains alone. Water-wise infrastructure is green, blue & grey and adds values across all #SDGs. #TimeForChange @COP25CL
7) invest in water is to understand its complexity, value it comprehensively & inclusively and manage it across all scales & interests. Water is life, living with water is the best thing we have! From Source to Sea. #TimeForChange @COP25CL
8) four perspectives are key for impact by @nlenvironagency study Geography of Future Water Challenges: drylands, cities, transboundary, rivers&deltas. These help drive policy, governance & implementation. #TimeForChange @COP25CL
9) is it Too Big? It’s too big to ignore, too big to go alone, too big for existing systems, too big to simplify, too big for fragmentation. So let’s embrace the complexity, be radically inclusive, invest in safe spaces, integrate by design & act now! #TimeForChange @COP25CL
