The Water Initiative for Net Zero (WINZ) promotes water’s role in reducing global heating and avoiding climate chaos. #Water4Climate #Water4NetZero

[WINZ @WINZaction]

Water is central to mitigation. As @Cop30noBrasil opens in Belém (10–21 Nov), we're tracking how “Water, Cities, Infrastructure, Waste” thematic days translate into real cuts in emissions across utilities and wastewater. Explore evidence-led options: https://t.co/9uQsrCuDNM

[GWP-Med @GWPMed]

Today at #COP29 @GWPMed,@WINZaction @nature_org convene a
👉Side Event (16.00-17.00)
👉High-Level Segment (17.00-17.30) 2⃣ discuss approaches that help achieve co-benefits (adaptation & mitigation) & net-zero transition through freshwater💧resources mngt & related infrastructure

[We Don't Have Time @WeDontHaveTime]

We often hear that water is a resilience and #mitigation multiplier. But what does this mean? 🤔💧
@johoma, @Alliance4Water tells us why the role of water is central in our effort to control & reduce #climatechange. 🌎

If integrating their water stewardship & their net zero goals into one another is so positive for companies why are they not doing it? 🤔
Virginia Newton-Lewis, @drvlnl @grundfos tells us more at The Climate Hub in this session with @WINZaction 💧 live from #ClimateWeekNYC🗽

100s of climate scientists polled by @guardian predict that the 🌍 is heading for at least 2.5C of heating.

They say we need to act now.

WINZ says, here's how.

Water solutions can address up to 10% of global greenhouse emissions.

Degradation and loss of peatlands alone results in greater emissions than the entire aviation sector

On 25 June we are gathering experts to make the climate case for freshwater action.

How can improving water management drastically reduce methane emissions?

🌾 Using drip irrigation for rice production can reduce methane emissions by 50-90%
🚽 In treatment plants, methane can be captured and used for production of biogas.

Energy production is, and will remain, highly water intensive.

@UN_Water's Expert Group on Water and Climate Change are working on a study to understand exactly how water intensive climate mitigation measures like the energy transition are.

Water can be make or break for the clean transition 💧

This high-level session will outline a path towards @COP29_AZ and ensure that political momentum needed to address the global water, climate, & energy crises is not lost.

Getting utilities to net zero:
✅ reduces emissions
✅ improves operations
✅ lowers costs

After being awarded Net Zero Carbon Champion at the Global Water Awards, we spoke to @Xylem about concrete steps the water sector can take in the race to zero.

🌾 @NetafimCorp estimates that drip irrigation uses 70% less water, improves rice production, and reduces methane emissions.

A win-win-win for people and planet.

We spoke to @Netafim about how their technology is revolutionizing rice cultivation.

Water and wastewater utilities account for ~2% global #GHG emissions.

HP Nanda and @PatrickKDecker work for competing water utilities companies: @Xylem and @grundfos.

Today they joined forces at the #Water4Climate pavilion for a shared goal: achieving net zero through water 💧

[WINZ @WINZaction]

Harnessing the potential of high-integrity carbon credits can be a triple win:
☁️ Reduced emissions
💧 Improved water security
✅ Improved access to safe water & sanitation for millions of people

We spoke to @ProfEvanThomas about how to make this happen.

Rice is responsible for 10% of global methane emissions.

We spoke to @SRI_2030's Francesco Carnevale Zampaolo about how directing climate finance towards countries' rice sectors is a win for:
💧 water
🌡️ climate
🌾 food security
👩‍🌾 farmers
