Engagement in IWA Climate Smart Utilities - Community of Practice

Climate smart utilities are companies in the water and wastewater sectors that are improving their climate resilience while contributing to significant and sustainable reduction of carbon emissions. The IWA Climate Smart Utilities initiative is supporting water professionals in embracing this challenge and opportunity, through a space for resources and a managed community of practice to exchange on common problems and share knowledge on solutions.

To better understand and serve your needs in the community of practice (CoP), we invite you to complete the short survey.

To join the IWA Climate Smart Utilities Community of Practice, please visit: https://iwa-connect.org/group/climate-smart-utilities/timeline. For all enquiries related to the initiative and CoP, please contact Ms. Kambiri Cox (kambiri.cox@iwahq.org).
