Ahead of World Water Day 2025, our 20th March webinar launched our groundbreaking report from WWF and GlobeScan’s research program, “Shaping the Future Water Agenda.“ We shared valuable insights from a global consultation of over 350 expert stakeholders, a survey of more than 30,000 individuals across 30 countries, and engagement with 20 leading global companies that supported this initiative.
Key Discussion Takeaways Included:
- Strong Appetite for Action: Both the public and experts show a strong desire for action on water issues, particularly water quality and pollution.
- Growing Water Risks: Companies need to address substantial water-related risks and integrate water stewardship into broader sustainability strategies.
- Integrated Approaches: Breaking down silos and adopting integrated approaches to water, climate, and nature is crucial for effective water stewardship.
- Public and Expert Alignment: Aligning corporate actions with public and expert expectations is essential, focusing on water quality, habitat protection, and value chain impacts.
- Proactive Engagement and Transparency: Companies should engage more proactively in water and nature policy, collaborate with governments, and communicate transparently about their water stewardship efforts.
