management at the global event.

Sustainable water management can mi gate the consequences of climate change.

Dubai: The Wilo Group, a leading pump manufacturer and digital pioneer of the pumps industry, brings
new strategies and solu ons to the 28th United Na ons Climate Change Conference, COP28, which is
being held in Dubai from 30 November to 12 December 2023. The main aim of the conference is to find

ways and reach agreements to realise the Paris climate goals of limi ng global warming to 1.5 degrees.

Climate change is already leading to a sharp increase in water-related environmental disasters like
floods and droughts. In addi on, water supply is increasingly insecure, which not only affects drinking

water, but also food supply.“The climate crisis is also a water crisis”, says Oliver Hermes, President &
CEO of the Wilo Group.“As a mul na onal technology group with a por olio geared fully towards
transforma on, we are already delivering high-efficiency, resource-saving solu ons for the challenges

posed by climate change”, he added.

As part of the COP28 Leadership Interviews, Georg Weber, Member of the Execu ve Board and CTO of
the Wilo Group, spoke about water management on 1 December.“Global water consump on is
enormous, and the very unevenly distributed fresh-water reserves are shrinking. Inefficient systems

lead to an enormous waste of water. In addi on, the treatment of wastewater is o en neglected. It is
expected that billions of people will be affected by water shortages in 2050”, emphasises
Weber.“Sustainable water management can mi gate the consequences of climate change.”

The Conference of the Par es (COP) is a ended by 198 signatory states, representa ves of na onal and

interna onal organisa ons and NGOs as well as representa ves of the private sector. The role of the
private sector in par cular is becoming increasingly important when it comes to the prac cal

implementa on of climate targets and solu ons to problems caused by climate change.“Climate change
is one of the biggest challenges we face as humanity today”, Hermes con nues.“At Wilo, we are
responding to this megatrend with highly efficient products and solu ons, responsible management,

and strong partnerships.”
