A new generation of solutions needed

How cities manage water is critical for both climate mitigation and adaptation. To raise awareness of this, SIWI, Arup, GIZ and Resilient Cities Network is inviting like-minded groups to a new informal network, started in a lively World Water Week workshop with around 50 participants, discussing implementation and policy requirements of urban water resilience. In this summary, SIWI’s Jenny Fors and Manuel Eckert talk more about the initiative and share ideas from a workshop during World Water Week.
