Driving Freshwater Resilience for Climate-Threatened River Basins

Water is essential for all human life, but rising consumption, climate change, and pollution are placing growing pressure on freshwater systems. Companies and cities need a clear way of minimizing their own impact on water as well as identifying opportunities to invest in collective solutions. Addressing how they impact and depend on water will enable companies and cities to help create sustainable water systems.

Science Based Targets Network’s (SBTN) Freshwater Hub is a collaborative effort led by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and World Resources Institute (WRI), along with Pacific Institute, The Nature Conservancy, CDP, and Conservation International. Together, these partners developed some of the leading frameworks, tools, methods, and guidance for water impact assessment, management, and reporting.

To support this effort, the Lincoln Institute and its Center for Geospatial Solutions have joined the WWF to accelerate the development of the Basin Threshold Tool (BTT). The BTT is an open-source platform that compiles and displays basin water flows, levels, storage, and quality around the world. Its database includes data, methods, and supporting information designed to help companies as they set science-based freshwater targets.

The Lincoln Institute and WWF will be launching the BTT this September and hosting an event at New York Climate Week to share the tool. The event will include a panel discussion on corporate water engagement and policy and a technical demonstration of the tool focusing on the Rio Grande River. We look forward to a great discussion on how the BTT can aid stakeholders in tracking basin conditions at different scales, advancing net-zero goals, and making informed water management decisions.
