The water industry is in the front line against climate change. Its services are the foundations of normal life. Its raw material depends directly on the climate and the environment. The Water UK Climate Conference assessed the scale and complexity of the threat.
Mitigation and adaptation present the industry, its regulators and society itself with challenges and choices. We need to reduce our use of energy, make our infrastructure more resilient and ensure that our costs are affordable.
In a keynote speech Pamela Taylor, Chief Executive, showed why water companies are among the first sectors to embed the implications of climate change into mainstream business planning.
