📣 Veolia launches a Tour de France for #water! The aim of this unprecedented initiative is to meet citizens, local elected representatives and industries, and to jointly develop sustainable solutions for preserving water in the face of climate change. Initiated by Estelle Brachlianoff, CEO of Veolia, this innovative project is a way of raising public awareness and fostering #dialogue on the issue of water, which has become a vital challenge and a major concern for citizens. 🇫🇷 This 'Tour de France' for water begins symbolically in Boulogne-sur-Mer, a town in northern France with which Veolia has the longest-standing collaboration in #France in the water sector, and which it supports in the search for future solutions to guarantee a sustainable, accessible and resilient water resource. The issues at stake are multiple and address a number of key challenges: 🔹Protecting public health, in particular against micropollutants and PFAS 🔹Coping with water shortages and combating water stress 🔹Managing floods 🔹Maintaining water quality at an affordable price 🔹Helping farmers and industrial companies to adapt The water crisis is real, as confirmed by a French survey conducted by the Terram Institute, which sheds light on citizens' perception of the water situation in France. However, the French have confidence in the water industry (60%), and the majority are in favor of innovative solutions to turn these challenges into opportunities. Let's all play a part in water management! 💧 #EcologicalTransformation Institut Terram Antoine Bristielle

💧 By 2030, fresh water demand is expected to outpace supply by 40%. A challenge according to a report on #water #scarcity by the World Resources Institute. 3 key figures to understand the impact of the scarcity of water resources: ▪ Water scarcity puts $70 trillion of global economy at risk ▪ $50 billion estimated desalination market by 2032 ▪ $17.6 trillion assets managed by signatories to the valuing water finance initiative In the face of water risk and financial challenges impacting industries, Veolia is part of the solution to bridge the gap between water supply and demand. In the latest Bloomberg Intelligence webinar, Anne LE GUENNEC -Senior Executive VP, Water Technologies- shared Veolia's concrete and sustainable water #solutions such as wastewater #reuse and seawater #desalination.

🏔 #WorldWaterDay reminds us that glaciers melt faster than ever. As the effects of climate disruption accelerate, with particularly visible impacts in polar regions, there has never been a more urgent need for coordinated action by all sections of society. The ties between fundamental research and industry can be incredibly powerful. Businesses have access to some incredible means of action for combating #ClimateChange, and they are able to act quickly, backed by operational expertise and the ability to deliver real-world #innovations. 📖 In her book “Sentinelle du climat” (Climate Sentinel), French glaciologist and winner of the Veolia Foundation’s 2024 Environmental Book Award, Dr. Heïdi Sevestre, alerts the general public and decision-makers to the urgent need for action to halt climate disruption. “We need everybody in all their diversity, with all their experience and qualities, to help us invent a better #future.” We must act to #SaveOurGlaciers!
