Demand for water is rising across agriculture, manufacturing, and emerging industries such as AI. At the same time, climate change and ecosystem degradation are increasing the risks of floods, droughts and disruption to existing water supplies.
In this episode, we explore why water is so critical to almost every major infrastructure project, and why water-related and water-dependent infrastructure faces a huge financing challenge. We look at the risks that water scarcity and disruption pose to infrastructure, ask why water itself remains difficult to invest in, and discover what it will take to make water a more investable asset class.
We also explore how we can rethink the way water risks are financed, from diversifying water supplies to protecting and restoring ecosystems – helping to protect communities, nature and infrastructure from the impacts of climate change.
