A clean water supply is the backbone of a healthy economy, but it is woefully under-prioritized globally. By 2025, two thirds of the world’s population will face extreme water scarcity.
Today, water infrastructure globally remains antiquated and has unnecessary carbon emissions, and neglects to reach the 2 billion+ people who still lack access to safe water and sanitation. Without solving for water, we cannot solve for gender inequality, climate, and education. And while women disproportionately bear brunt of this global crisis, they remain grossly underrepresented in decision-making roles across the Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) labor force in developing countries and across financial leadership roles worldwide.
With only 1.9% of commercial finance reaching water infrastructure and development assistance falling short by $100 billion a year to achieve universal access to water by 2030, the time to double down on women, catalytic philanthropy, impact investment, and stronger government policies has never been greater.
Tomorrow, our Founder & CEO will be leading a discussion on best practices and how we can solve for this global crisis in our lifetime.
She is joined by an incredible group of leaders and experts:
