  3. ‘A survey of 350 companies found that 92% agree that a water crisis is looming and 70% believe that the risks of water scarcity are equal to those of carbon emissions.’ What are companies saying? WSP Environment & Energy, September 2009

  4. Increasing water scarcity is a reality Agreement on trends and pressures Non–substitution of water Increased social & media attention Risks are real Need for global/regional fora and dialogue Cooperation essential, not conflict What are companies saying?

  5. Impact and risk – what’s the difference? Do volumes matter? Resource efficiency - treating water like carbon Beyond footprint response Which horse to back? Who to listen to? Go it alone? Where are companies stuck?
