Canadian Water Network has launched a new peer-to-peer Strategic Sharing Group called Beyond Target Setting: Accelerating Net-Zero Actions in Municipal Water Management.

In March 2022, CWN brought together utility leaders from the Canadian Municipal Water Consortium to participate in a structured conversation on the topic. The first meeting featured a case study and guest presentation from Matthew Pluke, Sustainability Lead at Anglian Water Services, and Maria Manidaki, Net Zero Technical Lead for Water at Mott MacDonald.

This case study explored challenges, successes and lessons learned during Anglian Water’s journey to become a net-zero water utility by 2030. Breakout discussions enabled municipal and utility participants to share challenges, gaps, barriers, strategies and frameworks in this space through responses to high-level questions posed by CWN.

The Strategic Sharing Group will meet again in June to advance important discussions on accelerating action on this topic.
