How to prevent Ukrainian communities and industry from being left without water?
On September 26-27, more than 30 leading experts will share their vision on solving urgent problems of water supply and water use.
In the context of the war and climate change, it is worth focusing on several important programs that should be prioritized in Ukraine, such as:
- efforts to conserve water;
- availability of clean water and sewerage;
- food and energy security;
- and mitigation of natural disasters such as floods and droughts.
In addition, these programs also require a lot of innovation - especially innovative financing that the government and the private sector attract; technological innovations to manage food and energy needs; and a commitment from all parties to contribute and work together.
That is why, at the initiative of the PAEW Association of Environmental Professionals, the Geological Investment Group, and the Office of Sustainable Solutions, a two-day professional event on "Water in Industry and Agriculture in the Context of War and Climate Crisis" will be held on September 26 and 27.
