30 Apr 2025
Infrastructure Forum
Accelerate

Our water infrastructure plays a pivotal role in the functioning of our society and the economy, ensuring reliable access to water resources while managing risks such as wastewater contamination, flooding, drought and environmental degradation. However, faced with rising global temperatures and an ageing infrastructure network, there is an urgent need to modernise these systems to ensure long-term resilience and safeguard key economic sectors.

This session will explore how technology, partnerships and innovation are being harnessed to enhance the resilience of our water infrastructure to climate impacts. Join industry leaders and key stakeholders as they discuss how the resilience of our water systems can be achieved, and what challenges must first be overcome.
