January 31, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
Jan 31, 2023, 10AM PT, 1PM ET
Overview
The climate crisis, at its core, is a water crisis. Water and carbon directly impact one another. As a result, climate impacts are most often experienced as water crises – floods, storms, droughts, etc.
There is a tremendous need for collective government action to solve our shared water challenges. For governments to make equitable and smart decisions addressing the water crisis, they need access to clear, actionable water data – the best decisions are made using the best data.
Explore how state and local governments can address challenges around water during a discussion hosted by Government Technology and True Elements on January 31 at 10 a.m. Pacific/1 p.m. Eastern. During this interactive session, you will learn:
- How agencies can collect, share and use water data insights to systematize water challenges and priorities
- Why collective understanding and action are critical in making infrastructure decisions
- How state and local leaders can get the funding they need to take collective water action related to equitable housing
