Indra reposted this
It was a privilege to represent Indra in #UNCOP16 in #Riyadh by the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification and وزارة البيئة والمياه والزراعة (Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture, Government of Saudi Arabia). Saudi Arabia's sustainability goals are impressive - ensuring protection of 30% of its land and oceans by 2030, building a sustainable economy, and achieving net zero emissions by 2060. It was amazing to witness the strong involvement of academia, particularly KAUST (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology) to drive innovations in water and food security, waste circularity, and carbon capture in partnership with industry and startups. Mankind's biggest challenges with respect to #environmental pollution, #desertification, #food and #water security are deeply inter-connected. Indra is committed to doing its part to build water security by effectively treating wastewater for #reuse at the point of source. It is important to note that a large portion of our #agricultural water needs can be met through #reuse of #treated water. I also had the opportunity to participate in an engaging discussion on 'How Deep Tech is Shaping Sustainable Futures' at COP16Riyadh and I want to thank my fellow panelists Matt Sprague, Mark Tester, Asrar Damdam, Ph.D. and Abdullah Sahab for their fantastic inputs. #COP16 #Sustainability #WaterSecurity #Innovation Ministry of Jal Shakti | Imagine H2O Asia | UpLink - World Economic Forum
