The water sector is facing global challenges – from climatechange to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, water scarcity and resilience.

Finding solutions to these problems is bigger than one organisation or even one country.  That’s why it’sbecoming increasingly important to share ideas and collaborate across the world.

But the big challenge is how to do this on a practicallevel, and how to ensure that multi-discipline, multi-organisational groups don’t simply become talk-fests that achieve little in real outcomes.  

In our latest Tāwara o te Wai podcast, presenters Jon Reedand Hannah Edmond talk to Edinburgh-based process engineer Amanda Lake, who’s a global principal for Jacobs where she leads work on water sector decarbonisation and the circular economy.

Also joining the conversation is Chris Thurston, former headof sustainability for Watercare and currently working as a consultant.
