World Water Week
COMING UP Thursday the 24 at 9am at Session ID 11517 at the Stockholm Water Week – a bonanza for business – take the angst out of figuring out how and how much to disclose about your water use and targets.
Introducing the Freshwater Accountability Navigator (FAN), a streamlined and interactive guidance that supports business in the application of the various frameworks and standards for responding to customer and regulator demand for information about your water practices.
The Freshwater Accountability Navigator (FAN) had its original debut at the UN 2023 Water Conference back in March – now the rollout and scale up!
It is an online interactive tool being developed by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (in collaboration with Quantis) to guide companies on which water-related frameworks and tools to use to drive more accountable water stewardship action across their value chain. The tool will be available to companies for regular use by the end of 2023 and this session will give attendees an opportunity to look under the hood and provide feedback to help the FAN create a common understanding of what ‘good’ corporate accountability for #freshwater looks like.
Other organizations have supported the development too, including:
Capitals Coalition
Global Commons Alliance
World Benchmarking Alliance
EcoAdvance (Horizon Europe) is taking a holistic view of freshwater ecosystem restoration and urging businesses to do the same! More good stewardship of freshwater ecosystems will require less restoration down the road!

Stockholm World Water Week is coming up fast in person AND online! This year’s theme, Seeds of Change: 'Innovative Solutions for a Water-Wise World' has 3 important sessions on Freshwater ecosystem restoration, and it is not a moment too soon, with Freshwater Ecosystems suffering disproportionately around the world. Thanks to campaigns by leading environmentalists, inland waters are now explicitly included in the Global Biodiversity Framework. But here’s the big challenge: Join August 20th at 14:00 (Sweden time) with Mariana Nava from Mexico to focus on implementation and how it can be accomplished. Hear from experts from around the world what a successful GBF implementation for inland waters will take: Join Session 10903, Multi-sectoral opportunities for freshwater outcomes in the Global Biodiversity Framework to learn about the new tools, datasets, guidance in development. It is easy to register and on-line attendance is free: https://lnkd.in/dMQD4zZE Don’t have time to go through the whole program to find the Freshwater-relevant sessions?
