SIWI provides expert input to the 2030 Water Resources Group

Anders Berntell and Jakob Granit of SIWI have been part of the expert advisory group for the report “Charting Our Water Future – Economic frameworks to inform decision-making”.

The report’s central message is that any strategy to achieve water resource security must be a joint effort—integrated with broader economic decision-making—by governments, investors, NGOs, and water users in agriculture, industry and cities. It is a toolkit that stakeholders can use to compare the impact, cost and achievability of a range of different measures and technologies, so providing the fact base needed to underpin solutions.

The report was published by the 2030 Water Resources Group which was formed in 2008 to contribute new insights to the increasingly critical issue of water resource scarcity. It consists of a range of organizations from the private and social sectors, including The International Finance
Corporation (IFC) of the World Bank Group, the global management consulting firm McKinsey & Company, and an extended business consortium made up by several international companies and financial institutions.
