Conference Hall 8A	2.00 PM	FORUM ON WATER FOR GROWTH: ENSURING SUSTAINABILITY AND RESILIENCE As the global community grapples with the 3 planetary trilemmas i.e., climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution, the role of water management in ensuring sustainable development has to be asserted and given priority. Water, often referred to as the "blue gold" of our planet, is a finite and precious resource crucial for life, ecosystems, and economic activities. However, the availability and quality of freshwater are increasingly threatened by a convergence of factors, including population growth, urbanization, pollution, and, most notably, climate change. This complex interplay of challenges has necessitated a paradigm shift in how we manage and utilize water resources, with a growing emphasis on establishing a water footprint to strengthen climate resilience through sustainable water management. The Water Footprint enables us to quantify and mitigate the environmental impact of our water use, adapt to changing conditions, and work collaboratively to ensure that this vital resource remains available for current and future generations in a world affected by climate change. The Water Sector of the Ministry of Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change is introducing the concept of Water for Growth and exploring the theme of Water Footprint to ensure sustainability and resilience. This theme will be explored in-depth during the forum at the International Greentech and Eco-products Exhibition and Conference Malaysia, highlighting its importance on the global stage. This forum aims to foster impactful conversations and insights among experts, policymakers, industry leaders, and researchers on the significance of establishing water footprints and how it can be harnessed to bolster global efforts towards sustainable development and climate resilience.
