📢At @UNFCCC #COP30, the Global Commission on the Economics of Water and @IWMI_ convene “The Water Imperative: Aligning Economic Growth, Climate, and Nature” to turn research into policy and show how water can unite climate, nature, and economies for a resilient future.

📢 @WELLLabs_org is thrilled to share the trailer for The Water Data Podcast—a new talk show on the science, systems, & stories of water hosted by @veenas_water.

💧 Every day, cities and industries produce nearly 1 billion cubic meters of used water. Most of it goes untreated, polluting ecosystems and wasting a valuable resource. But what if water had a second chance? 🔁 Aligned with the Global Commission on the Economics of Water and its mission on the circular economy, the @WorldBank Group has launched its flagship report, Scaling Water Reuse: A Tipping Point for Municipal and Industrial Use. The report makes a strong business case for investing in the treatment and reuse of water. It aims to turn used water into a sustainable resource for cities and industries. It also provides actionable roadmaps for governments and the private sector to scale water reuse, reduce stress on freshwater sources, and unlock innovative financing opportunities. 📖 Read the full report here: bit.ly/458GCYh @2030WRG | @henkovink | @IWMI_

As @RamsarConv's #RamsarCOP15 begins, hear @henkovink's insights on why the global water cycle must be treated as a common good, while exploring a new @IWMI_-GCEW brief that urges Ramsar to shift from site protection to landscape-scale governance. 👉 bit.ly/4eZYxEY

📢 @henkovink joins global thought leaders at @RamsarConv's #RamsarCOP15 for a High-Level Roundtable hosted by GCEW & @IWMI_ to explore how Ramsar can collaborate with other MEAs to restore freshwater ecosystems. 🗓️24 Jul ⏰13:30 📍Gwayi ℹ️on.cgiar.org/3UaO7sN

☔ 🌍🚰 It’s easy to take water for granted — until there’s too much or too little of it. Yet in the way we govern our economies, water is overlooked, undervalued, and mismanaged. We can continue treating water as an afterthought and responding to crises as they emerge, or we can recognize it for what it truly is: the foundation of economic security and prosperity. Water and its intrinsic worth must be recognized across all major environmental conventions, from climate and biodiversity to wetlands and desertification, and backed by clear and measurable goals.

💧💰 Water is not just another resource — it is the silent currency underwriting every purchase, investment, or trade we make, from the farmer’s market to the stock market. Without reliable freshwater flows, ecosystems collapse and undermine carbon sequestration and #foodsecurity. But today, decisions about water remain disconnected and uncoordinated. The Global Commission called for a major shift in global governance that positions water as an organizing principle. This means incorporating all of water’s essential functions — not just its market price — into every level of economic planning, from investment and trade policies to international agreements. Effective leadership requires transparency, fairness, and the capacity to address water challenges head-on.
