Join Our July Forum - The Coming Water Crisis

Both in the UK and globally we are facing a water crisis and this will be the topic of our July EnCaf Forum. What is the nature of this crisis and what can we do?

To help us with this we will be joined by Waterwise - the UK's leading independent voice on water efficiency, they work to protect this vital resource for the benefit of both people and the planet. Find out more about Waterwise at https://waterwise.org.uk/

The world is facing a looming water crisis, driven by factors like population growth, climate change, and unsustainable water management practices. Experts warn that by 2030, global freshwater demand could exceed supply by 40%. This shortage will disproportionately affect vulnerable populations and could lead to social and economic instability

Also joining us at this Forum will be Zoey Cooper who was an active member of EnCaf and is now the Climate Manager at Exmouth Council in Devon where she is responsible for executing Exmouth’s Climate Action Plan, and empowering their community to reduce their environmental impact. We will talk to her about her transition from activist to climate change officer.

Eric Valentine will be joining us at our EnCaf Forum that addresses the issue of water security globally and here in the UK. Eric has been chairman of the Foundation for Water Research. Eric is also a Visiting Professor at Newcastle University and a Professorial Fellow at Charles Darwin University, Australia

We will be joined by Chloe McFarland Waterwise’s Campaign Manager. Chloe, based in Scotland, brings over 8 years of experience from the creative agency world, where she’s worked on everything from social media campaigns to TV ads and app launches.

The UK is facing a growing water crisis due to climate change and increased demand, with projections indicating significant shortages by 2050. The Environment Agency warns of a potential 5 billion litre per day shortfall for public water supplies by 2055, and an additional 1 billion litres needed for other sectors
