We are already observing the many repercussions of climate change; the role of water in the environment is no exception. The UK faces growing challenges in the management of our water resources. As young professionals, it’s up to us to form part of the solution.

Join us for a compelling event that will address the critical issue of climate change and its significant impact on water resources. Organised with a focus on early career professionals, this event aims to equip attendees with the essential knowledge and insights needed to confront the dual challenges of increased flood risk and water scarcity.

We will also explore detailed case studies that showcase how WSP is adapting to these challenges globally. Emphasis will be placed on the practical implementation of cutting-edge solutions designed to enhance resilience and sustainability in the water sector. Attendees will also participate in workshops, having the opportunity to discuss the application of these global innovative ideas to the UK, exploring potential solutions while considering the current barriers and limitations.

Engage with like-minded individuals and industry professionals as you explore your own innovative ideas in this collaborative environment.

We look forward to your participation in this informative and interactive event.
