Summary of Key Takeaways

• Water risk to operations is a strategic starting point for stewardship, with data and reporting as key enablers.
• Watershed health must be the ultimate indicator of success—moving beyond compliance-based box-ticking to outcome-driven basin thinking.
• Water stewardship is evolving into a strategic, cross-sector priority, deeply linked to climate resilience, biodiversity, and economic stability. It is embedded in corporate sustainability, supply chains, and ESG mandates.
• Finance is a critical enabler, with calls for creative, localized funding models and stronger integration into ESG and investment frameworks.
• Collective action is essential but complex, requiring trust, transparency, and local ownership to succeed.
• Communication matters—simplifying language and storytelling are vital to engaging stakeholders, driving action and breaking out of echo chambers.
• Policy frameworks must catch up, with stronger integration of water into climate adaptation plans and global governance. Scalable impact will come from localized solutions, backed by strong partnerships between government, business, and finance
• AWS Standard Version 3.0 introduces streamlined requirements, deeper integration of climate and biodiversity, and new expectations for collective action and water reuse.

As the climate crisis intensifies and biodiversity loss accelerates, water stewardship is emerging not just as a sustainability imperative—but as a strategic, economic, and social necessity. At the recent Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS) Forum, leaders from over 160 organizations across 39 countries gathered to explore the evolving landscape of water stewardship. There were diverse conversations across sectors and roles, impressive case studies, and the call to action unmistakable: water connects everything.

Inogen Alliance was a sponsor of the Forum for the third year, firmly establishing our local expertise with global coverage for water stewardship. Our Associate sponsors included: Antea Brasil, Antea Group France, Antea Group UK, Antea Group USA, Baden Consulting in Switzerland, Chola MS Risk Services Limited (CMSRS) in India, HPC France, HPC Italy, HPC Germany, Hydrophil in Austria, Mediterra in Spain, Peter J. Ramsay & Associates in Australia, and Tonkin + Taylor in New Zealand.

Here are the key insights that stood out from our Global Water Working Group:

 

1. Water Risk as a Strategic Starting Point

A recurring theme throughout the AWS Forum was the framing of water as a business risk—not just an environmental concern. Organizations are increasingly recognizing that water scarcity, quality degradation, and watershed instability pose direct threats to operations, supply chains, and long-term resilience. This risk-based lens is helping companies prioritize water stewardship as a strategic imperative.

Reliable data and transparent reporting were emphasized as foundational tools. By identifying high-risk areas and understanding water dependencies, businesses can make informed decisions that protect both their operations and the ecosystems they rely on.

“Using risk to operations as a starting point, data and reporting are key.”

 

2. From Box-Ticking to Basin Thinking

The forum also challenged the tendency to treat water stewardship as a compliance exercise. Speakers urged a shift from box-ticking metrics to outcome-based approaches that prioritize overall watershed health. This means moving beyond isolated site-level actions and embracing basin-scale collaboration, shared data, and nature-based solutions.

The updated AWS Standard Version 3.0 reflects this evolution, emphasizing healthy freshwater ecosystems and catchment-level resilience. The message was clear: stewardship must be credible, inclusive, and focused on long-term impact—not just short-term optics.

“Watershed health is our indicator—are we moving the needle?”

 

3. Water, Climate, and Biodiversity: A Triad of Interdependence

Water is no longer a siloed issue. It is deeply intertwined with climate resilience and biodiversity. Sessions emphasized that effective water stewardship must integrate ecosystem services, soil health, and nature-based solutions. The upcoming AWS Standard Version 3.0 reflects this shift, embedding climate resilience and biodiversity into its core requirements—marking a significant evolution in how we define and measure stewardship.

“Water is a strategic entry point for broader conversations on biodiversity and ecosystem health.” 

 

4. Finance as a Catalyst for Scalable Impact

Finance emerged as a central enabler of stewardship. From blended finance models in industrial parks to calls for CFO engagement in water risk mitigation, the message was clear: we need creative, accessible, and localized financing mechanisms. The forum highlighted the need to mainstream water into investment decisions and align financial flows with watershed outcomes.

“Water stability means financial stability. Stewardship must move from optional to strategic.” 

 

5. Collective Action: From Concept to Credible Practice

Whether in industrial parks, mining operations, or river basin initiatives, collective action was a recurring theme. But the forum also acknowledged the complexity: collective action is hard, messy, and often underfunded. Success stories—from a few different panels in attendance—show that trust, transparency, and local ownership are essential ingredients.

“Stewardship is a handshake—steeped in diplomacy.” 

 

6. Communication: Giving Water a Voice

Technical jargon and ESG-heavy language can alienate the very stakeholders we need to engage. The forum emphasized the power of storytelling, inclusive language, and education to build momentum. Water needs a voice—one that resonates across sectors, cultures, and communities.

“We need more than good words—we need to back up claims with action.” 

 

7. Policy and Governance: Bridging the Gaps

International policy dialogues revealed a fragmented landscape. While some progress has been made—such as the new water target at COP Baku—many global frameworks still fail to prioritize water. The call was for stronger integration of water into national adaptation plans, ESG regulations, and even defense strategies.

“If we fail on water, we fail economically.” 

 

8. AWS Standard Version 3.0: Raising the Bar for Stewardship

One of the most anticipated updates at the forum was the upcoming launch of the AWS Standard Version 3.0, expected in Q4 2025. This revision reflects the growing complexity and urgency of water-related challenges. The Standard revision session served as part of the global public consultation on the second draft of the AWS Standard V3.0. Some of the key changes in the draft include:

• Streamlined Requirements: The total number of requirements has been reduced by 32 in comparison to V2.0, improving clarity and auditability while maintaining rigor.
• Climate and Biodiversity Integration: New emphasis on catchment-based climate resilience and the protection of Healthy Freshwater Ecosystems and Biodiversity.
• Collective Action as a Differentiator: Now a requirement exclusively for Gold certification, reinforcing its importance in achieving meaningful impact.
• Improved Alignment with ESRS: Enhanced interoperability with the European Sustainability Reporting Standard (ESRS) on Water and Marine Resources (E3).
• Focus on Innovation: Greater attention to water reuse, desalination, and their correlated impacts.

This evolution of the AWS Standard signals a shift toward more practical, scalable, and outcome-oriented stewardship—one that aligns with both business realities and ecological imperatives.

 

9. What’s Next: From Echo Chambers to Ecosystems of Change

The closing message of the forum was both a challenge and an invitation: we must break out of our echo chambers. That means amplifying underrepresented voices, especially from the Global South and Indigenous communities. It means building bridges across sectors, geographies, and disciplines. And it means embracing water not just as a resource to manage—but as a foundation for resilience, equity, and shared prosperity.

 

Final Thoughts

The AWS Forum made one thing abundantly clear: water stewardship is no longer a niche concern. It is a global imperative that touches every sector, every community, and every future. As we move forward, let’s remember that water connects us all—and that credible, collective action is our most powerful tool for change.

By Karen Sack, Ocean Risk and Resilience Action Alliance 

A regenerative and sustainable blue economy represents a trillion-dollar frontier investment opportunity with the potential to generate significant returns for investors while advancing social and environmental goals.

The importance of coastal and ocean ecosystems to the global economy cannot be overstated. Coastal regions are home to almost half of all economic activity and 40 percent of the world’s population. Coastal floods and storm surge already cost the world between USD$10-40 billion dollars a year, projected to reach USD$1 trillion annually by 2050, yet less than one percent of climate finance is invested into coastal nature-based solutions.

The Ocean is living capital and a highly undervalued asset class. When we invest in its health, we invest in our own. The cost of inaction far outweighs the price of progress. To turn away from the Ocean is to abandon more than USD$8 trillion in potential value. To embrace its promise is to unlock USD$15.5 trillion in benefits, create 12 million jobs by 2030, and bring greater resilience to nations most in need. Yet the science clearly shows that the window for action is closing fast. That is why we must be patient with capital and impatient with action, delivering investment that reduces risk and drives environmental, economic, social and cultural security. But no one sector can go it alone. It is going to take radical collaboration, from beachfront to boardroom.

NEW ORLEANS, August 13, 2025 /3BL/ – In recognition of the 20th anniversary of hurricanes Katrina and Rita, Entergy brought together nearly 40 employee volunteers and community partners to enhance resilience and strengthen environmental sustainability. The event was held in collaboration with Green Light New Orleans, a nonprofit organization focused on providing simple, effective environmental solutions to residents.

Volunteers installed rain barrels at homes in the Hollygrove, Leonidas, and Fontainebleau neighborhoods, areas prone to flooding. The barrels, painted in bright, original designs, serve as practical tools for stormwater management by capturing rainwater, reducing runoff, and helping prevent property damage. Each barrel diverts an estimated 2,220 gallons of water annually from the city’s overburdened drainage system.

“As we observe the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, we’re not just reflecting, we’re responding with action,” said Deanna Rodriguez, president and CEO of Entergy New Orleans. “This initiative reflects Entergy’s commitment to resilience, not just as a company, but as a neighbor – helping families reduce the impact of heavy rainfall.”

Laura Jayne, a Hollygrove resident and staff member at Loyola University, had been waiting nearly a year to receive a rain barrel for her home. She welcomed the delivery on Wednesday morning.

“I have been wanting to get a rain barrel for a very long time,” said Jayne. “Even though I have not experienced extreme flooding, I think the rain barrels are great to help prevent potential flooding.”

Since its founding in 2006, Green Light New Orleans has distributed and installed more than 3,000 rain barrels across the city. The barrels not only provide cost savings to residents but also reduce stress on drainage infrastructure and contribute to the city’s long-term climate goals.

“Entergy has been a partner with Green Light New Orleans since we first started in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and we deeply appreciate this enduring partnership,” said Dr. Christian Ryan, executive Director at Green Light New Orleans. “Together, we’re working to help New Orleans residents make small changes that have a big impact.”

This initiative is part of Entergy’s broader commitment to community investment and environmental stewardship. Over the last two decades since Katrina’s devastation, Entergy shareholders have invested $95 million to support nonprofit organizations in Orleans Parish while our employees in the area have completed more than 130,000 hours of volunteer service.

In partnership with Rebuilding Together New Orleans, Entergy will hold another employee-driven Day of Service on Aug. 29, commemorating the 20th anniversary of Katrina. That initiative will focus on home weatherization efforts to improve energy efficiency and lower utility costs for some of the city’s most vulnerable residents.

Through acts of service and community partnership, Entergy continues to honor the past while investing in a safer, more resilient future for New Orleans.
