Description
This webinar series is organised by the IWA Climate Smart Utilities Initiative in partnership with DANVA.
With a focus on progress in the Nordic region, this webinar series will highlight the Nordic principles for a road towards a climate-neutral water sector, demonstrating some of the Danish national monitoring programmes for nitrous oxide and methane emissions and concrete actions by utilities. The series will also discuss collaborative efforts to maximise mitigation today.
The second webinar of the series will highlight how Denmark is mitigating methane, bringing attendees up to speed with the collaborative national methane monitoring work which has been undertaken in Danish universities, utilities and industry regulators. Sharing lessons learned and key insights into methane monitoring and mitigation, this webinar will also highlight key success factors, ongoing work and lessons for global action.
Learning Objectives
Following this session, participants will be able to:
- Engage with stakeholders at the local and national levels around GHG emissions in the water sector
- Support with GHG accounting in a water utility
- Develop insights into the monitoring and reduction of GHG emissions, knowing where to focus efforts
