GPP Academy x ReThink HK 2025 - Beyond Carbon: Exploring the Water Cycle, Water-Climate Nexus and Hidden Water Footprints in Sustainability

We’re excited to invite you to our next GPP Academy Workshop, where we’ll dive into the often-overlooked yet vital role of water in sustainability — going beyond carbon to explore its deep connections with climate, ecosystems, and daily life! The workshop will be held at the upcoming ReThink HK Conference*.

Alongside Joyce Wong from Better Futures and Basel Kirmani from Turquoise Sustainability, you will explore:

• Hong Kong’s Water Reality — Uncover surprising facts about water consumption and management in Hong Kong;
• The Hidden Web of the Natural Water Cycle — Understand why water connects not just rivers and oceans, but also soil, plants, and all living beings;
• The Invisible Water Footprint— Discover how hidden water use in food, transport, and technology dominates our daily consumption;
• The Water-Climate Connection — Explore how climate change intensifies water insecurity, impacting ecosystems, agriculture, and communities globally;
• Actionable Insights for Sustainability — Learn practical ways to rethink water use and integrate it into sustainability strategies!
