Commenting on his involvement at the Congress, Aggarwala commented:
“In NYC we are focused on establishing multiple layers of resiliency at different scales to respond to the multiple hazards our changing climate is bringing to the five boroughs. This includes green infrastructure, grid redundancy, coastal protection projects, emergency communication and much more. And importantly, this work must move forward with urgency, funding, and partnership with government and individuals. We will do all this with a fierce commitment to environmental justice, and prioritising the most vulnerable communities.”
“We are thrilled to have Rohit at our Congress. His experience and involvement with philanthropic efforts promoting the environment and urban sustainability clearly aligns with IWA’s mission and agenda, including our newest project on urban inclusive sanitation.
He will set the tone for an inspiring, forward-looking congress that will leave us with innovative ideas and pioneering thinking on urban sustainability and water.”
