On 9 April 2018 (10:00 AM EST), the OECD is holding a webinar on "Green Talks LIVE - Financing Water: Investing in Sustainable Growth".
Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals will require a historic scaling up of investment in water.
The benefits from strategic investment in water security could exceed hundreds of billions of dollars annually by delivering valuable water services and reducing risks of flood and drought. To date, a strong economic case for water-related investment has failed to translate into a compelling financing case at scale globally.
What policies and financing approaches can help to unlock investment and mobilise additional sources of capital? How to ensure that financing flows to investments that contribute most to water security and sustainable growth?
Join Xavier Leflaive and Kathleen Dominique of the OECD Environment Directorate to discuss the challenges of financing water, innovative solutions and ways forward to accelerate action. The presentation will draw on emerging messages from The Roundtable on Financing Water.
