正文(英文) | Water Risk Filter upgrade supported by UK Development Bank CDC Group
With COP26 underlining the need for urgent action by corporates to respond to the climate-water crisis, WWF today launched the most substantial upgrade to its leading tool for companies and investors – WWF Water Risk Filter 6.0.Enhanced with the support of CDC Plus – CDC’s technical assistance facility funded by UK Aid from the British people – the WWF Water Risk Filter version 6.0 will enable companies and investors to better assess and respond to water risks, ranging from increasing scarcity to extreme floods to growing social conflict and weak regulations. With these risks all being exacerbated by climate change, a WWF analysis found that almost half of global GDP will potentially come from high water risk areas by 2050. “We have upgraded the WWF Water Risk Filter to keep pace with the changing environment and provide enhanced support for companies and investors to take meaningful action,” said Ariane Laporte-Bisquit, WWF Water Risk Filter Project Manager. “With climate change intensifying water risks across the world, businesses face being left with drying or drowning assets. The WWF Water Risk Filter 6.0 will help companies and investors to tackle these risks and build resilience.” As a corporate and portfolio-level screening tool, the WWF Water Risk Filter 6.0 enables users to prioritize action on what and where it matters the most to address their water risks as well as collectively build resilience in key river basins in which they operate and depend on. Along with the website’s new look, the most important upgrades to version 6.0 include:
With its first version co-developed and launched in 2012, in partnership with the German Development Finance Institution DEG, the WWF Water Risk Filter was one of the first online water risk assessment tools for companies and investors. With its unique ability to combine state-of-the-art basin risk data with operational risk information, the Water Risk Filter has become a leading and trusted tool used by a range of sectors - including textile company H&M Group, retailers EDEKA and Migros, food and beverage companies Alpro and Carlsberg, pharmaceutical AstraZeneca, bio-technology company Novozymes, and many more. What exactly is new with the WWF Water Risk Filter version 6.0? Beyond the new look and feel of the website, here are the top three most exciting changes and improvements in version 6.0.
The upgraded WWF Water Risk Filter 6.0 is a powerful tool to drive more effective and strategic action for a water-secure and climate resilient future. Upcoming Webinar Want to learn more?
