Asia Pacific‘s leading platform for sustainable development
Opinion / #water efficiency
Despite being vital to health, security, and economic prosperity, water is often taken for granted. As supplies come under growing strain, water-related considerations will shape economic policy and political decision-making, as well as firms’ investment decisions, risk assessments, and corporate strategies.
Rather than designing solutions for half the farming population, agricultural researchers, policymakers, and others must consider the specific needs and preferences of women farmers in developing countries. Only then can the huge female agricultural labour force reach its potential to ensure food security and drive economic growth.
Sustainability standards and ratings do not generate enough information for businesses to understand their environmental impacts across scales and create mitigation plans to avoid further transgression of planetary boundaries.
While much of the AI debate focuses on its economic potential, its expanding physical footprint tells a different story. The machines driving this revolution depend on a resource far older – and far more contested – than data or electricity.
