#WaterPositive. As mudanças climáticas e as transformações digitais aceleram o ritmo do mundo e impõem desafios à adaptação da sociedade em diversas frentes. No centro dessa adaptação estão os desafios relacionados à sustentabilidade hídrica. O desenvolvimento de um mecanismo de certificação e comércio de créditos de água, sustentável e positivo, certamente contribuirá para essa adaptação. 1. **Mensuração da Pegada Hídrica**: A certificação traz atenção à mensuração da pegada hídrica da cadeia produtiva, um passo crucial para uma gestão mais eficaz dos recursos hídricos. 2. **Ganhos de Imagem e Reputação**: A certificação #WaterPositive proporciona ganhos de imagem, reputação e posicionamento favorável à sustentabilidade, além de estimular melhores escolhas de consumo em um mercado cada vez mais atento as práticas sustentáveis. 3. **Comercialização de Boas Práticas**: O comércio de Créditos de Água oferece um mecanismo para a comercialização de boas práticas e tecnologias que vão além das fronteiras locais de produção, permitindo a expansão e a viabilidade financeira de novos projetos em toda a cadeia produtiva, em diversas regiões. Nesta semana, na ALADYR no Chile, participei de um painel com diversos especialistas e empresas. Aproveitei a oportunidade para destacar o Brasil e seu protagonismo no reúso de água, especialmente com a liderança da GS Inima Brasil, que abrange projetos principais como Aquapolo Ambiental e Água de Reúso de Vitória, além de outros dois grandes projetos em desenvolvimento e projetos para atender o mercado de Hidrogênio Verde. Water Positive I was delighted to participate in this debate and presentation session with Angélica Rivera , Alejandro Sturniolo, Sebastian Tramon, Elizabeth Andrea Vásquez Henríquez, Esther Gonzalez and Paula Pérez Sánchez.

Taking advantage of ALADYR conference in Santiago de Chile, relevant associations and companies signed our Water Positive "Hall of Fame" Roll Up. Gerald "Jerry" Ross, president of ALADYR , Rafael Palacios Prado, Executive Vicepresident of ACADES and Hugo Lecaros Fernández, Head of corporate affais in CRAMSA autographed the roll up, thus simbolically supporting the intiative in which they are already collaborating. Accompanying them, we had our Think Tank ambassadors Paula Pérez Sánchez, Esther Gonzalez and Nicolás Ibieta Illanes.

#ALADYRChile SESIÓN “SOSTENIBILIDAD: CARBON NEGATIVE, WATER POSITIVE” en el Congreso Internacional ALADYR Chile 2024 Este espacio nos ha permitido reunir a los principales actores que están marcando el rumbo hacia una sostenibilidad real, donde la reducción de huella de carbono y el manejo responsable del agua son protagonistas. Moderado por Angélica Rivera, Directora de ALADYR y Gerente General para Centro América y América del Sur en Torishima Service Solution Europe, esta sesión se convirtió en un punto de encuentro para reflexionar sobre los retos y logros en materia de sostenibilidad. Eduardo Pedroza de ALADYR destacó la importancia de la colaboración regional y la adopción de tecnologías para avanzar en la adaptación a las condiciones impuestas por el cambio climático y Sebastian Tramon, Gerente de Sostenibilidad de la Asociación Vitivinícola de Colchagua / Viñedos Emiliana, compartió cómo la industria vitivinícola está incorporando prácticas sostenibles y alineándose con los conceptos de carbon negative y water positive para preservar el entorno natural y los recursos. Elizabeth Andrea Vásquez Henríquez de SACYR Agua subrayó la relevancia de la certificación ISO 14046 de huella de agua como un estándar para medir y mejorar el impacto hídrico de las operaciones. Desde ACCIONA, Paula Pérez Sánchez explicó cómo la tendencia Water Positive tiene la posibilidad generar alianzas impensadas entre sectores para dinamizar los avances hacia la seguridad hídrica en cada asentamiento humano. Esther Gonzalezález, de Aqua Positive, invitó a soñar con nuevos modelos de ciudades capaces de prosperar en los entornos más áridos gracias a la desalinización y a las relaciones cooperativas alrededor de las plantas desaladoras al ser epicentros para al generación de beneficios de agua y créditos de carbono. Alejandro Sturniolo, Secretario General de Water Positive Think Tank, nos recordó que la clave para ser "water positive" está en la colaboración entre sectores e invitó a pensar fuera de la caja y atreverse a abordar los problemas con un enfoque disruptivo.
