Communicating the shift towards water resilience

General Assembly of the AMWAJ Alliance

We celebrated our 4th General Assembly of REVOLVE Mediterraneo – AMWAJ Alliance on Wednesday last week in Barcelona! 

Here are some highlights from our community!

“The need for new narratives, we know things that we never tell. We need to explore new dialogue pathways across different sectors, as well as new formats”, Gonzalo Delacámara, AMWAJ Advisory Board.

"We need to communicate the impact beyond our own bubbles, so we can reach and engage with a larger audience", Lucille Guiheneuf, MedWaves, AMWAJ Member.

“We should find ways of amplifying voices from the community, Christina Lee, Unbias The News, AMWAJ Media Partner.

We love seeing our Mediterranean community growing around #water & #journalism!

Industry Disruptors joins the AMWAJ Alliance

Industry Disruptors, a non-profit/non-governmental organisation that was founded to promote entrepreneurship in Greece, South East Europe and East Med regions, has joined the AMWAJ Alliance to promote sustainable water management in the Mediterranean. Together, we are committed in contributing to a more healthy and equitable Mediterranean for all.

Unlike Malta that still has some (rapidly depleting) groundwater aquifer reserves, Lampedusa has no freshwater resources. Without any freshwater resources, Lampedusa needs renewables for sustainable water access. But… how? Read Stuart Reigeluth’s article on energy-efficient technologies being implemented in Lampedusa for treating wastewater!
