Come join us at IWSF 2022 where Singapore’s largest water users and thought leaders congregate to share what resources they’ve leveraged upon by working with PUB to fulfil their water sustainability goals.

Be part of this one-day Forum on 19 April 2022 to learn about successful case studies implemented in various local industrial sectors and the benefits of recurring cost savings resulting from substantial water consumption reduction, hear from global thought leaders with regards to water sustainability management, and to keep abreast with the latest technology developments for wastewater treatment for reuse.

Networking opportunities will also be available for you to connect with your industrial peers, solution providers, as well as PUB’s IWS Department to enlist their advice on how their technical support and funding schemes could facilitate the implementation of your water reuse project.

Futureproofing Cities to Avoid Atlantis – Evolving Finance for Adaptation Solutions

Co-Organiser: China Water Risk
Access: All delegates and trade visitors

Existential threats from sea level rise demand a grand redesign of our cities, and careful planning needs to start now. Billions of dollars will have to be raised to adapt and futureproof our cities, yet most of climate financing is skewed towards decarbonisation not adaptation. Also, rising seas could trigger systemic shocks in global financial systems if concentrated chronic risks from coastal threats across Asia are not managed. How can cities and banks survive? Will water risks hamper future investments? Why is it still so hard to raise funds for ambitious adaptation projects? What steps do we need to take to adapt and thrive?
