Water and Energy Efficiency for Green Growth
What is green growth? How does promoting
water efficiency pave the way for green growth? How do we improve water
efficiency in all sectors? How can we secure sustainable development
within the limited water resources that we have?
The topic of this session will be promoting green growth and improving
water efficiency. Water efficiency must be sought in industry,
agriculture, cities, households, energy production by improving
sustainable use of wastewater and by finding ways to reduce 80% of water
losses.
The session aims to search for solutions that can be implemented at both
regional and global level by sharing regional knowledge and successful
cases in the Asia-Pacific and Europe.
Water efficiency can be improved with a broader perspective by going
beyond investments and implementation of technologies to include raising
awareness of communities, and searching for good management practices.
The session covered the whole water cycle and carried out discussions
with different stakeholders by looking into water saving and water
stewardship and search for solutions from across the different sectors
