Water is an important natural resource and should be managed in a holistic and sustainable way. Today, water scarcity continues to be a major and evolving global concern affecting more than 40% of the global population as reported by the World Bank. In Mindanao, particularly, there is an annual increase in total demand for groundwater resources while the supply remains finite. Furthermore, Mindanao, despite being rich in its ecosystem and water resources, is continuously threatened by the environmental issues such as erosion, effects of flood and even detrimental actions of humans such as mining and logging.

This session entitled "Addressing Water Challenges and Opportunities in Mindanao" will will focus on the state of water in the Mindanao Region. The speakers will provide updates on the initiatives to address water concerns in the region as well as provide participants with the available opportunities to explore in the regions.

With the theme "Building Partnerships to Achieve Water Security" the ECCP 2021 Water Challenge Forum Series aims to provide an avenue for discussions on collaborative efforts of the water sector stakeholders to support the Philippines with its water challenges and achieve the goal in ensuring and sustaining water resources for future generations.

To increase brand visibility, showcase best practices, and promote the shared advocacies of your organization in the Philippine water sector, sponsorship opportunities are available for all 2021 Water Challenge Forum Series sessions.
