For the fourth year in a row, Cobalt Water Global hosted an official Climate Week NYC event - NYC Water and Climate IV, to make the links between water and climate and help those without access to safe drinking water and sanitation and whose water crisis is confounded by climate change. Each year we try to inspire Climate Action by everyone with water.
2021 has been a climate crisis wake up call and is particularly critical to shift the conversation from what we should do, to what we can start doing today or tomorrow! Not by 2030 or 2050. Therefore, this Climate Week NYC was as important as ever to inspire climate action.
Keynote Talks
Thanks to water and climate leaders in the Water Sector, we were able to provide this inspiration through a series of keynotes:
Trivia
Our Climate Week NYC activities also included a virtual water and climate speed trivia competition.
Our annual NYC Water and Climate water charity event helps Water for People deliver safe drinking water and sanitation in developing countries, where lack of safe drinking water can be exacerbated by climate change. Giving back to those impacted by water scarcity and climate change is very important to us at Cobalt Water Global. As we continue our work in the water sector focusing on Climate Action with AI and inspiring others to take Climate Action, we will always support bringing clean water and sanitation to communities lacking these basic needs. We will always #givebackwater.
If you were not able to join us during Climate Week NYC, you can still help Water for People and make a small donation here ($10 USD suggested but can be more or less). Donations go directly to Water for People. Make sure to type #givebackwater in the comments.

Keynote Talks
Thanks to water and climate leaders in the Water Sector, we were able to provide this inspiration through a series of keynotes:
- Things kicked off with Cobalt Water Global Founder and CEO, Jose Porro, who talked about the water sector needing to get in the game, N2O, and having hope for a better future and the weapons to start fighting the Climate War today for freedom from the rule of extreme heat and climate disasters! 📽Watch it here!
- Next, Amanda Lake, Jacobs Water Process Lead, Europe talked about finding courage to act now and the need to tackle wastewater process emissions of nitrous oxide and methane, how there is nothing stopping us from taking action, and the opportunity to work together for a future we choose today. 📽Watch it here!
- Our third keynote was Corinne Trommsdorff, Founder and CEO of Water Cities.org. Corinne, walked us through four key climate change impacts on water, invited water utilities to join the IWA Climate Smart Utilities forum, and how water utility reductions are not just for the water utilities but for the planet. 📽Watch it here!
- For our closing keynote, the International Water Association Executive Director, Dr. Kala Vairavamoorthy, gave us inspiring talk calling water utilities to action because they have a fantastic opportunity to inspire other utilities to take action and engage citizens, industries, and wider stakeholders to embrace the change needed for a resilient and low-carbon water sector. Dr. Kala also explained how cities are a vibrant centers of culture and innovation for solving water problems, and how the Global South can be the perfect laboratory for how a low-carbon and green economy can really look like.
