Community Resilience & The Water Crisis

The UK faces significant long-term water scarcity, with England projected to face a shortfall of 5 billion litres of water per day by 2055, driven by climate change and population growth. Up to 12 million people already live in water-stressed areas, with water usage increasing despite sustainability targets.

• Charlotte Stannard from Th River Trust who is committed to addressing the UK’s water scarcity crisis through inclusive, community-led action
• Hali Healy from the University of Birmingham who has developed world café initiatives around community resilience and
• Julian Jones from Water21 and who is an originator of the sustainable water drainage systems concept, working since 1984 to help solve the many water-related crises facing communities throughout the UK and around the world

Join us as there will be plenty of time for participation and discussion.
