Knowledge Café - Harnessing Power and Water for Jobs and Growth

Tuesday, Apr 22, 2025 | 10:30 AM - 11:15 AM

Location: MC Atrium

Description:Water and energy shortages lead to job loss, while properly managed energy and water can fuel job growth across sectors. With current practices, the world is expected to face a 40% shortfall between demand and supply of water by 2030. Please join us for an interactive discussion on how countries are paving the way to produce green energy through hydropower, increasing agricultural production, and mitigating floods and droughts with increased water storage-- all while creating jobs. Participants are encouraged to come with successes, challenges and questions for discussion with experts. *Watch Event|https://meetingslogin.worldbank.org/en/asmeeting/event-detail/ems1852260*
