About CWR: In an era marked by unprecedented accelerating water & climate threats, CWR aims to unpack and value complex climate & water risks; rethink transition to “slow down” these risks; and build resilience so that finance, corporates and governments can all make better decisions today for water tomorrow.
Since 2011, the think tank has worked from its Hong Kong base to engage with global finance and business in understanding and managing various types of water & climate risks in China and across Asia. CWR’s collaborative reports with financial institutions, IGOs, scientists as well as government related bodies are widely cited by the media to banks and the IPCC – they have been instrumental in understanding Asia’s water challenges and informing disclosure frameworks; they compel us to rethink climate & water risks for resilience.
