The challenge is a daunting one and involves meeting the growing level of global energy demand (a 30% increase by 2040) while curbing pollution and protecting natural resources. Unfortunately, the knock-on effects of climate change are becoming more pronounced, including the rise in natural disasters, the depletion of water resources and the increase in climate migration.
According to Veolia CEO Antoine Frérot,
The new Veolia is in the ideal position to provide solutions to the major challenges facing the environment and society, and top of the list is climate change. We need to ramp up the transition towards carbon neutrality and accelerate the process of adapting to climate change. Veolia possesses the three key assets to successfully lead the ecological transformation, i.e. strong climate commitments, the ability to pioneer new solutions funded by green investments, and integrated solutions allowing its municipal and industrial customers to decarbonise their activities and adapt to the effects of climate change.
