Women have always been at the heart of water management—yet their voices remain underrepresented. On International Women’s Day, we celebrate the invaluable contributions of women in the water sector, but real change requires action every day. To solve today’s water challenges, we need governance systems that bring everyone to the table. A Water-Smart Society—where water is valued, managed efficiently, and benefits all—can only be built on inclusion, diversity, and collaboration. That’s why at Water Europe, we champion initiatives like Water-Oriented Living Labs (WOLLs)—real-life innovation ecosystems where diverse voices co-develop and scale solutions. When everyone is involved in shaping water systems, we unlock better, smarter solutions for society, the economy, and the environment. 💧Who are the women in water who inspire you? 💧How can we ensure diverse voices shape the water systems of the future? Let’s start the conversation. Let’s turn words into reality and build a Water-Smart Society that works for all. Happy International Women’s Day!
💧It's time to dive into the innovation engine behind Water-Oriented Living Labs (WOLLs) - the Harmonization Cube. 🧊 ⚒This advanced tool evaluates WOLLs across six foundational elements like governance, service creation, and user involvement, ensuring that labs can drive meaningful water innovations in real-world contexts. By offering a structured approach to assessing the maturity of WOLLs, the Harmonization Cube fosters synergy between diverse stakeholders and accelerates the path to market-ready water solutions. Explore how the Harmonization Cube is shaping the future of water management and governance. 🌍 👉 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/e8UMPUT6 #WaterInnovation #LivingLabs #SustainableWater #WaterManagement #InnovationEcosystem #SmartWater #Governance
🚨Today, the Water Community focuses on the soon-to-be-released Water Resilience Strategy, a crucial policy step for Europe’s future! 🌍With one-fifth of EU territory and nearly a third of its population facing #waterstress annually, the urgency for an ambitious and well-funded water strategy has never been greater. 💪Instead of hesitation, Europe must embrace ambition and seize this opportunity to address water challenges effectively. ⏮Over the last five years, the EU Commission has lead a throughout upgrade of the European Water Acquis to strengthen our sustainability – but one dimension is missing: 🔹Quantitative water management 🔵The Water Resilience Strategy (#WRS) must drive investment, disruptive data collection, and policy reform to secure water. Now is the time to be ambitious. Now is the time to be water-smart! 👁🗨Read our full article - published on Euractiv: https://lnkd.in/e-kA56Ra #WaterResilience #WaterSecurity #SustainableEurope #EUWaterStrategy #ClimateAdaptation #SmartWaterManagement #FutureOfWater Geoff Townsend
