World Water Week: Taking action with freshwater science-based targets for business resilience

The Science Based Targets Network (SBTN) Freshwater Hub will be in Stockholm for World Water Week, and are hosting a session on August 28, titled Taking action with freshwater science-based targets for business resilience.

The session will cover:

• Firsthand insights from leading companies implementing freshwater science-based targets and their journey towards responsible water stewardship.
