Trent Building was lit up in blue for World Water Day on Monday evening (22 March) to highlight our commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

The theme of World Water Day 2021 was Valuing Water:

‘Water means different things to different people in different settings. By sharing all the different ways water benefits our lives, we can value water properly and safeguard it effectively for everyone. Valuing water appropriately is key to achieving the United Nations Global Goals.’

Sustainable resources for the 21st century city

The Institute for Policy and Engagement and Papplewick Pumpin Station hosted a lecture for World Water Day 2021 with guest speakers from Severn Trent Water, Nottingham City Council and the Environment Agency.

Sustainable Resources for the 21st Century City is part of a public lecture series from the University of Nottingham’s Institute for Policy and Engagement, and is supported by Water Works, a group of interdisciplinary researchers dedicated to providing solutions to the global challenge of protecting this priceless resource.
