Who We AreIt is widely accepted that Earth’s water cycle is changing rapidly due to climate change. We must be able to respond urgently to the growing risks by placing water and gender at the center of governmental, private sector and philanthropic policy and investment priorities.

WaterRising believes that the water sector must advance innovation for water protection, and that workforce culture and development opportunities must be gender-inclusive to achieve water resilience. With women making up less than 18% of the water workforce globally, policies, programs and practices in water management must change to attract, retain and advance all genders in leadership roles and at all levels of employment.
