Innovation for Sustainable Development

OVERVIEW

Over the next few years, climate change coupled with a growing population that is expected to reach 9.8 billion in 2050, will have a dramatic impact on our world and will disrupt our already fragile ecosystem. By 2030, 65% of our population will face a shortage of power and water. Energy consumption is growing at a staggering rate and is projected to increase by as much as 55% by then. This is primarily due to the combined effect of population growth and a dependency on energy-intensive lifestyles.

Trends like urbanization that require water-intensive activities are putting pressure on already scarce resources. The availability of clean and affordable water for everyone on the planet is becoming a major challenge. It is reported that by 2050 at least one in four people will be affected by water stress and severe water shortages.

It is up to us to find ways to simultaneously preserve the environment and as well as drive development to ensure that future generations have a better world to live in. Enzen’s sustainability program encourages participants to develop high-quality solutions that can be used to solve water and power related challenges and create a positive impact on the environment.
