Why businesses are leapfrogging governments on water issues

Water is an incredibly personal topic, integral to the lives and traditions of communities everywhere. That means companies must be very careful about how they use water resources, even those to which they are legally entitled, says Shari Friedman, Eurasia Group's Managing Director for Climate and Sustainability.

"If they're taking it away or they're polluting a source, it's something that's incredibly visible, as people use it," she said. "And it's something the press can pick up on pretty quickly, and it affects a company's license to operate."

The global water crisis and the path to a sustainable future

What would you do if you turned on the tap one day and nothing came out? By 2025, water scarcity is expected to affect about 50% of the world’s 8 billion people, and climate change is worsening the problem by changing global weather patterns.

That’s why this year’s COP28 climate summit, which kicks off Thursday in the United Arab Emirates, added water scarcity to the agenda, bringing it to the forefront of climate negotiations. In advance of the summit, the Sustainability Leaders Council - a partnership between Eurasia Group, GZERO Media, and Suntory - brought together leading experts and industry leaders to discuss the problem and possible solutions for a GZERO Live event.

Watch today's livestream: "High and Dry: Tackling Global Water Stress"

WATCH THE REPLAY: By 2025, water scarcity is expected to affect around two-thirds of the world's population, and a similar proportion of companies will encounter significant water-related risks throughout their operations. Adding to the challenge, existing policy measures fall short of addressing this issue adequately. Resolving this crisis demands increased cooperation between public and private entities.

Join GZERO Media live today at 8 am ET as we delve into practical approaches spanning various regions and industries to address water scarcity globally.

Franck Gbaguidi, Director for Climate and Sustainability at Eurasia Group will moderate the livestream conversation, sponsored by Suntory, with:

  • James Dalton, Director, Global Water Programme, IUCN
  • Shari Friedman, Managing Director for Climate and Sustainability, Eurasia Group
  • Manoj Jain, Investment Director, Unison Capital
  • Shigeaki Kazama, Executive Officer and Division Deputy COO, Sustainability Management Division, Suntory Holdings
  • Alzbeta Klein, CEO, International Fertilizer Association
  • Mike Nemeth, Senior Advisor, Agricultural and Environmental Sustainability, Nutrien
  • Tanvi Nagpal, Senior Technical Research Advisor, URBAN WASH Program, Tetra Tech
  • Brian Richter, President, Sustainable Waters

Episode 9: What's next in 2023?

Transcript

Listen: "We are coming out of a period of uncertainty," says David Bailin, Chief Investment Officer at Citi Global Wealth. "We've all been thinking it would go much faster than it has, but in the event we get to a more normal economy in 2024, given how vastly impactful COVID was, I think that that's a pretty fast outcome."

In the latest episode of Living Beyond Borders, a podcast produced in partnership between GZERO and Citi Global Wealth Investments, Bailin is joined by Eurasia Group President Ian Bremmer to discuss what's happened so far on the economic and political stage, and what we might look forward to in the back half of the year and into 2024.

Episode 5: Energy transition today

Transcript

Listen: "It actually all comes down to one thing and that's money," says Raad Alkadiri, Managing Director of Energy, Climate and Resources at Eurasia Group.

In the latest episode of Living Beyond Borders, a podcast produced in partnership between GZERO and Citi Global Wealth Investments, Alkadiri is joined by Malcolm Spittler, Global Investment Strategist and Senior US Economist at Citi Global Wealth Investments, to look at where the energy transition to renewable fuels stands globally, after setbacks from the pandemic and geopolitical instability.

Episode 4: Broken (supply) chains

Transcript

Listen: "Other than the impacts of the pandemic, which are easing, and from Russia/Ukraine, I'd say that the greatest risk to global supply chains today and moving forward will likely be from the US-China relationship, and the movement towards selective decoupling," says Jon Lang, Director for Trade and Supply Chains at Eurasia Group.

In the latest episode of Living Beyond Borders, a podcast produced in partnership between GZERO and Citi Global Wealth Investments, Lang is joined by Charlie Reinhard, Head of Investment Strategy for North America at Citi Global Wealth Investments, to discuss how global supply chains have largely adapted to and moved on from changes that occurred during the global pandemic.
