Purpose and goal
By uniting stakeholders from various segments of the water value chain, the project aims to use a systems approach to identify changes with the greatest societal impact. Each stakeholder will share their perspective on transitioning to more resource-efficient water use. Through collaboration and joint activities, a shared vision can be developed, and a follow-up project can be designed, focusing on the activities that the group collectively determines will have the greatest impact.
Expected effects and result
The project is expected to result in a report that outlines and justifies follow-up projects based on the stakeholder group´s analysis of the societal challenge and the shared vision developed using foresight methodology. The project aims to enhance understanding of the challenges and opportunities related to the societal issue and strengthen collaboration among stakeholders, contributing to more effective and coordinated efforts for resource-efficient water use.
