This 45-minute webinar session brings together our guest speaker Dr. Paul O’Callaghan, water scientist, founder of BlueTech Research, sustainability thought-leader and Brave Blue World documentary producer and Fredrik Nyrén, business director, application strategist and water treatment expert at Kemira.

Topics discussed:

• SDG13 and climate action: challenges cities face in terms of stormwater overflows, heavy rains and flooding
• Historical context: we have been managing floods for thousands of years
• What do these pressures mean to cities and water utilities – and how can they increase resilience and adaptation in cases of capacity stress
• Different solutions for adaptation – e.g. integrating blue-green infrastructure with existing grey infrastructure to make cities resilient, new and existing technologies, chemistry
• Case examples of innovative adaptations from different cities around the world
