A leading sponsor at Reuters IMPACT conference on climate
change
Hosting expert panel discussion on what's our water trying to
tell us, a global perspective
Modern Water, the environmental division of DeepVerge, is
pleased to announce its participation as a leading sponsor and
panel host at the Reuters IMPACT virtual global conference, 4-7
October 2021. The conference is focused on mobilising global
business to deliver on climate change and Gerard Brandon, CEO of
DeepVerge, is hosting a panel to discuss ' What's our water trying
to tell us, a global perspective '.
In our COVID-19 world today, 3 billion people lack basic
handwashing facilities at home, 2.3 billion lack safely managed
drinking water and 4.2 billion lack safely managed sanitation (2030
WRG[i]). Globally, an estimated 80% of all industrial and municipal
wastewater is released into the environment without any prior
treatment, with detrimental effects on human health and ecosystems
(WWAP, 2017[ii]). This ratio is much higher in least developed
countries, where sanitation and wastewater treatment facilities are
grossly lacking.
Businesses must take a leading role in creating access to a
clean, reliable and sustainable supply of water. The solutions lie
in committing to four sets of actions to tackle the water crisis -
Water monitoring, Water management, Water stewardship and Water
advocacy. How have these evolved and what is next for business?
A panel of leading experts will look to address global issues
from clean fresh water to the monitoring of wastewater for the
detection of pathogens that lead to diseases derived from poor
industry protocols in order to prevent future health crises.
Gerard Brandon, DeepVerge plc CEO commented:
"I am honoured to be joined today by such prestigious and
knowledgeable experts from four continents across the world. We see
the impact of climate change, disease and industrial chemicals in
our water. Each of us here are seeking individual solutions to the
challenges we face, but only by collective collaboration,
cooperation and partnership that we can find a way forward
together. Our combined expertise includes analysis of drinking and
wastewater data, contamination detection, filtration to achieve
zero liquid discharge, recycling, desalination with installations
of equipment in more than 100 countries stretching over four
decades. Our objective is to work together with Governments,
municipal, industry bodies and companies to provide the latest
equipment and upgrade existing installations to monitor water in
real-time and to provide the translation service of what water is
telling us about what is needed to help change the way in which we
address water and wastewater for current and future health crises,
and the health of the planet."

Reuters IMPACT Virtual Global Conference:
https://reutersevents.com/events/impact/
Inspire. Drive Action. Accelerate Innovation
Failure to limit global warming will cause significant
disruption to business. No economy is immune to the impact, and no
action is not an option.
A Stanford University study predicts that by the end of this
century, there is a more than 75% chance that limiting warming to
1.5 degC would reduce economic damages and a more than 60% chance
that the accumulated global benefits will exceed US$20 trillion.
But, the global pursuit towards a low carbon economy, and achieving
net-zero is a huge undertaking.
Solving the climate risk challenge requires a significant and
coordinated private and public-sector effort. Reuters IMPACT is a
free virtual global conference that brings together world leaders,
big business and forward-thinking pioneers to inspire, drive action
and accelerate innovation towards the global economy's top
priority: the climate emergency.
No matter what role you perform, or the size of organization,
Reuters IMPACT will help to identify how companies can influence
business driven climate action.
