Catalyzing action on water resources reform | public-private-civil society partnerships for water security
About us
Water and climate change are fundamentally linked. Recently, revised data showed that, under prevailing trends, the world will face a 56 percent shortfall between demand and supply of water by 2030 (WRI). Additionally, water knows no borders. Water issues are local, national, regional, and global and they require attention and resources at every level. The 2030 Water Resources Group (2030 WRG) is a unique public, private, civil society multi-donor trust fund managed by the World Bank. We support stakeholders in collective decision-making, and in co-designing out-of-the-box solutions that promote strong socio-economic development across all sectors connected to water. Our global partners include governments (the governments of Hungary), private companies (Ab InBev, Coca-Cola, Nestlé, Unilever and UPL), development banks (African Development Bank, IFC, Inter-American Development Bank, and World Bank), INGOs and IGPs (BRAC, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, IUCN, GGGI, GWP, UNDP, and the World Economic Forum). 2030 WRG was launched in 2008 at the World Economic Forum and has been hosted by The World Bank Group since 2012.

Mountain solutions for a sustainable future – innovation, adaptation and youth. Mountains and glaciers are the water towers of the world. They supply more than half of humanity with water for drinking, irrigation, industry, food and energy production. https://buff.ly/3VwX5Bk #InternationalMountainDay

We cannot prevent #drought, but we can prepare for it. In many low- and middle-income countries, droughts can undermine economic growth and development. 📢 The World Bank has launched the Drought Risk and Resilience Assessment (DRRA) Methodology, a comprehensive framework to help governments proactively assess and manage drought risks. This new methodology, unveiled during #ResilienceDay at #COP16Riyadh and funded by Global Water Security and Sanitation Partnership (GWSP), empowers nations to build resilience and reduce the impacts of water scarcity. Together, we can support stronger, more sustainable communities in the face of climate challenges. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eSUt-pmk

Water reuse is the next big thing in the water sector. That was my conclusion after moderating a global dialogue on water reuse at the IDRA World Congress in Abu Dhabi. Driven by water scarcity (often motivated by necessity being the mother of invention), improvements in wastewater treatment and more sustainable water management practices, countries, cities and industries are making much greater use of wastewater. Ten years ago, reuse was at the same level as desalination (about 100 million m3/day), whereas today, the installed reuse capacity (230 million m3/day) is double desal capacity and growing fast. The session showcased some of the country’s and company’s leading the way in reuse: - Hani Sewilam, the Minister of Water in Egypt, described Egypt’s leading role in reuse, particularly for agricultural use; - Bernard Koh, Assistant CEO of PUB, Singapore's National Water Agency is probably the world’s best example of an integrated water system using water efficiency, desalination and reuse, where currently 55% of water use is for non-domestic purposes; - Ramón Fernández-Pacheco Monterreal spoke to Andalucia’s plans to significantly scale-up reuse in Spain, one of the market leaders in reuse; - Ahmed Al Shamsi Al Shamsi, CEO of TAQA Water spoke to 80% of water being reused in Abu Dhabi, with an ambition to reach 100%. Abu Dhabi is also adopting digital technology, including machine learning for demand forecasting and other uses; - Melissa Aquino, Senior VP of Veralto Water described the USA water market, probably the most developed globally and growing fast. PFAS regulations will likely serve as a huge driver for reuse in the US market going forward; - Naoll MARY described IFC - International Finance Corporation’s “Scaling Rewater” program; and - Anne LE GUENNEC, SEVP Worldwide Water Technologies highlighted Veolia’s approach to water management, working to make solutions sustainable, affordable, and scalable. 2030 Water Resources Group, together with IFC - International Finance Corporation and Global Water Intelligence (GWI) are establishing a global water reuse alliance to move the needle on reuse from current level of 8% to a much higher level.

Congratulations to previously known as Syngenta Foundation for Sustainable Agriculture, now renamed as #SustainableAgricultureFoundation. It was an absolute pressure to hear panelist Takashi Yamano @Razu Ahmed (DAM) Ataus Sopan Malik Dr. Moin Salam and colleague from Green Delta Insurance speak about opportunities and challenges to mobilize #private sector contribution into #agriculture. Dr Razu's reflection on low skill set of entrepreneurs, huge post harvest loss along with Mr Malik's take on comprehensive seed plus plus venture design are key areas of intervention. Could not agree more with Dr Takashi regarding HR dev to be the most #sustainable #development. #development of #incentive to #rationalize resource use is an area which #2030wrg is passionate about as well. Lastly, meeting Moderator Dr Md Abdus Sattar was an added bonus. Md. Farhad Zamil| Abdur Rouf|Simon Winter| Takashi Yamano| Ashim Rahman| Syeda Afzalun Nessa| Mahady Hassan

Learn more about our collaborative work on #WastewaterManagement in #Bangladesh: https://lnkd.in/eRMuZZqD
I’ve just spent a very productive few days in Bangladesh supporting our dynamic 2030 Water Resources Group (2030WRG) team. Despite recent political changes, the interim administration is stabilizing. I had the honor of meeting the new Cabinet Secretary, Sheikh Abdur Rashid, who reaffirmed the administration's commitment to leading the Bangladesh Water Multi-Stakeholder Partnership, as legislated by the Government Order of 2015, with 2030WRG serving as the secretariat. One of our main areas of focus in Bangladesh is tackling water pollution from industrial effluent. Dhaka, with over 20 million residents, is the 7th most densely populated city globally and hosts over 1,000 wet processing industries. These factories produce 2,300 MLD of untreated (or under-treated) effluent, causing severe water pollution. We engaged with the Secretary of Environment and Secretary of Water Resources and participated in the Water Governance and Sustainability Working Group to better understand the regulatory landscape. Additionally, we met with CEOs of the top 10 textile companies to explore how they can lead in improving Effluent Treatment Plants (ETPs) and what regulatory and incentive frameworks are necessary to transform the sector. Companies like H&M have been pioneering in ETPs and water quality monitoring, offering valuable insights that need to be scaled up. We also visited the Central Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP) of the Savar Tannery Industrial Park that treats effluent from all the tanneries in Dhaka (140 tanneries producing around 23 MLD effluent). Leather is the second biggest industry in Bangladesh (second only to textiles) and a major source of pollution. While the CETP is significantly reducing the pollution load, it requires upgrading, which will require the tanneries to pay a higher tariff for the treatment. However, this higher level of treatment will assist these exporters comply with European regulations that can result in doubling of their revenue. Our team will continue collaborating with key public and private institutions to develop a comprehensive program to treat domestic and industrial wastewater, addressing this challenge on a large scale. It was great to see the synergies developing with the World Bank team thanks to the Country Management Unit and water team.

Honored to have contributed to the Food and Water Systems in the Intelligent Age white paper. In this document, the World Economic Forum's Global Future Council on Food and Water Security explores how an integrated view of data for #food and #water can drive better decision-making and sustained solutions and the role of #ArtificialIntelligence 👉 https://lnkd.in/et_zFXyU
How can data and innovation secure our food and water systems? Today, as world leaders gather for the #OneWaterSummit in Riyadh, We’re thrilled to launch “Food and Water Systems in the Intelligent Age” as part of the World Economic Forum ‘s Global Future Council on Food and Water Security. Our expert group highlights how cutting-edge technologies like AI and a food-water data stack can transform decision-making. By recognizing water as a key impact multiplier—on par with carbon—we can tackle growing complexities in food and water systems. With the challenges in food and water systems only growing more complex, the time to act is now. The stack methodology offers a clear pathway to better decision-making, resilience, and sustainability for generations to come. The White Paper also spotlights AI-based use cases in Agri-water management under a Microsoft-2030 Water Resources Group partnership from Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra. Thanks to Noopur Desai and Morgan Booher for coordinating and delivering an impactful council, Ranveer Chandra, Usha Rao-Monari and Saroj Kumar Jha for their leadership and guidance. https://lnkd.in/g5ry9wPH Michael John Webster | Meghana Rao Pahlajani | Maj Sapna Nauhria | Alok Lall | Ajay Chhabra | Purushottam Kaushik| Abhay Pareek| Pia Barkataki| Dr. Aditya Panda | Harshal Sonawane | Roshan Lal Tamak |Sudhanshu Singh | International Rice Research Institute | Click2Cloud Inc. | DCM Shriram LTD | Yogesh Arya |
