This #WorldWaterDay let's talk more about how to bring #ClimateFinance into the water world -
Can climate finance save our water? While water is local, climate finance creates a global market for safe water. @Virridy and @MCGE_CU have innovated this concept globally and in the United States - time for scale! tinyurl.com/2p8mrast
