Water

This cohort is working toward the Accelerator's target for water. The ambition, or "flagship destination," is to ensure availability, resilience, sustainable management, and access to clean water for all people, agriculture, industry, and ecosystems while minimizing GHG emissions by 2050.  

Water is the lifeblood of our planet, flowing through a single, interconnected global cycle. This delicate system faces unprecedented challenges due to human activities and environmental changes. We seek innovative solutions that address water challenges holistically. Solutions will come from groundbreaking ideas, policies, and technologies using integrated approaches across institutions, governments, communities, finance, and corporations — a solution space in which we believe Stanford is uniquely positioned to lead and make impact at scale.
