Water Targets
Past event
Scientific data plays a critical role in understanding water risks and opportunities, but many businesses struggle to translate this data into actionable insights. In this webinar, Benjamin Zaitchik, Professor at Johns Hopkins University (JHU) and President at AGU, will help us understand how AI can bridge this gap, enhancing water stewardship strategies by integrating climate data, water risk assessments, and sustainability targets into decision-making processes.
Join us to learn how AI-driven tools can streamline water data collection, improve risk prediction, and support resilience planning—helping businesses achieve measurable water stewardship outcomes.
