- “To address increasingly heavier & more frequent rainfalls, we have essentially 1 option: rainproof the city! Replicating natural systems w blue-green infrastructure, storing and slowing the water down” Amy Chester @rebuildbydesign @one_arch_urb @ramboll
- Humans are using more #water than the #watercycle can provide, we threaten not only our own health, peace & well-being, but also the health of ecosystems & wildlife. World water map @UniUtrecht @Waterbier @NatGeo to understand, value & manage water
- In #Chennai the day after the inauguration of the @WaterasLeverage @Cityof1000Tanks Flower Convent School project @Ooze_eva explains the value of #WaterAsLeverage: “Water as Leverage for the first time gave us the opportunity to be fully inclusive and holistic”
- Proud of my successor @MeikeVanGin at @siwi_www @siwi_water in Stockholm. Building on the work we collectively achieved, taking inspiration from what works, and positioning water at the heart of sustainability and climate action for the future. A true #waterambassador! @MinIenW
