Our water team have just wrapped up at the International Water Association Conference in Toronto, Canada, where they gained incredible insights into equitable water and #climatechange and #sustainability. Key takeaways from the conference included: 💧 Addressing #SustainableDevelopmentGoal 6 – ensuring access to water and sanitation for all – is fundamental for current and future global communities. 💧The tools and solutions required to make a significant impact in the water sector are already available. It’s crucial we start leveraging these resources effectively. 💧Climate change is a pressing concern and building resilience against its impacts is a shared priority. #Decarbonisation is part of everyone’s plan to mitigate climate change. The expectation for resilient communities is growing and coastlines from New York all the way to Melbourne are at the forefront of these efforts. 💧Achieving safe and clean drinking water for all requires collaboration across various sectors, including utilities, engineering consultancies, academic institutions and communities. Working together is essential for turning these solutions into reality. Thank you to our team who were on the ground participating and engaging in these critical and insightful discussions!

✈️ Can aviation become truly sustainable? 🌱 Aviation accounts for 4% of global emissions, and with air travel expected to grow in the coming years, these emissions could more than double by 2050. That’s where Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) comes in—it has the potential to reduce aviation’s carbon footprint by up to 65%. The UK’s Net Zero strategy targets a 22% SAF blend in jet fuel by 2040—an initiative poised to create a £1.8 billion industry and over 10,000 jobs by 2030. SAF isn’t just a green option; it’s essential for the future of aviation. Yet, the journey to widespread adoption is challenging, with high production costs and limited resources. In our latest article, Ahmad El-kharouf, Senior Consultant – Hydrogen & Renewable Gases, discusses how overcoming these obstacles is key to shaping the future of aviation and ensuring a sustainable world for generations to come: https://lnkd.in/didh8rar #SustainableAviationFuel #NetZero #GreenEnergy #Innovation

🎊 Happy International Youth Day! 🎊 Today, we’re celebrating the incredible potential of youth as partners in shaping a positive future. The United Nations says that with half of our planet's current population being 30 or younger and expected to reach 57% by 2030, youth advocacy is crucial. Recognised as "digital natives," young people are driving change through technology and innovation, essential for achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. GHD’s #CROSSROADS study explores the infrastructure preferences and priorities of more than 10,000 people, from different generations, across 10 countries. Our research revealed that young people are not only the inheritors of our decisions but also vital contributors to shaping sustainable solutions. By actively involving younger generations in decision-making processes, we harness their innovative ideas and passionate commitment to environmental stewardship.🌿 Dive deeper into the generational differences and insights by visiting the CROSSROADS microsite: https://lnkd.in/gstdA-gK #FutureCommunities #PowerofCommitment #Intergenerationalequity
