On 26 October 2023 (13:00 CET), the World Bank, through its Global Program on Sustainability, is hold a webinar on harnessing the value of water.
The webinar will provide an understanding of the conceptual and data challenges of valuing water as a natural capital asset for the Changing Wealth of Nations (CWON) and identify key action items for systematic data collection.
The World Bank has a long-standing interest in the valuation of natural capital and in using national wealth as a measure of progress. Water is a vital part of natural capital, but including water as one of the assets recorded in the wealth of nations is yet to occur.
