The BEI Water Resilience Working Group works to support decision makers by convening UK-based expertise in water resilience. To support knowledge exchange with our key stakeholders, we are delighted to present our new report, Water Resilience: Unlocking Local and Global Benefits Through Collaboration. The report was co-written by members of the steering group – Accenture, AtkinsRéalis, Climate Sense, HR Wallingford, UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology and Water Research Centre (WRc) – with inputs from the other fourteen BEI member organisations currently participating in the working group.
The report aims to meet the needs of a range of agencies seeking rapid insights and technical support relating to water resilience. The audiences for whom this paper has been developed include UK Government Agencies (FCDO, DESNZ, DBT, DEFRA, Environment Agency), Water/Wastewater Companies and Utilities, Governments, Bilateral and Multilateral Development Agencies and other funders.
The challenges faced by the water sector are numerous - changing hydrological cycle, poor application of information and governance to decision making, weak regulatory and policy regime, and unreliable existing infrastructure - but being able to pinpoint these issues also gives us the opportunity to approach them. The solutions themselves are not mutually exclusive, but mutually beneficial. We see them not only as answers to the aforementioned issues, but as interconnected catalysts for one another.
Water is a global resource which requires localised solutions. Our report highlights the importance of interconnection in partnership building, with all action guided by a whole systems approach.
Join us at 23 Grafton Street, as members of the Water Resilience working group provide an overview of the report and discuss some of its main findings. The panel discussion will be followed by a networking reception.
