IWA Climate Smart Utilities Recognition Programme 2024: (Deadline: 20 May, 2024)
Applications are open for the International Water Association (IWA) Climate Smart Utilities Recognition Programme 2024. This programme aims to inspire utilities to become increasingly Climate Smart and embrace the cultural shift required for a water-wise future. The recognition programme is built on the IWA Climate Smart Utilities Vision and is articulated around three interconnected pillars:
- Adaptation: Improving resilience to adapt to climate change
- Mitigation: Assessing and aiming to reduce GHG emissions
- Leadership: Leading and inspiring others to take Climate Smart action for a water-wise future
This year’s edition will evaluate utilities under two major categories. First is the ‘Achiever’ category which will focus on utilities that have already made substantial progress in their Climate Smart journey (across all three interconnected pillars of Adaptation, Mitigation and Leadership), and thus will be assessed based on a more detailed framework. The second is the ‘Entrant’ category which will target utilities that have prioritised the climate agenda and have started their Climate Smart journey (covering at least one of the three interconnected pillars of Adaptation, Mitigation and Leadership), and therefore will be assessed through general narratives of their climate actions.
Benefits
- An attractive financial incentive package covering flight expenses, conference registration fees, and accommodation in Toronto will be provided to six representatives in total, from each of the top three utilities in the Achiever category, and each of the top three utilities from low-, lower-middle- and upper-middle-income countries in the Entrant category.
Eligibility
- Water and sanitation utilities from around the globe are invited to apply.
- Utilities can only apply for one category.
Deadline: 20 May, 2024
