Linkages between water and energy are seen as critical for economies and societies today and increasingly so in the future.  The urban water – energy nexus provides a major opportunity for cities and their utilities to lower energy use and costs, along with reducing their carbon footprint contributing to mitigating greenhouse gases. Concurrently, water security is being compromised by changes and variability in climate along with increasing urbanization and change in land use. These shifts are impacting the safety and security of water supplies to cities, industries and agricultural areas. With increasing extreme floods and droughts, cities need to adapt and reassess their approaches to water supplies and urban water storage and drainage. Industries need to work beyond their fenceline and assess water risks along their value chain, and farmers need to become more efficient in their water use to reduce their vulnerability. The combination of evolving technologies and adaptive management is needed to achieve water security in cities, industries and agriculture across entire catchments.
 
IWA WEC conference provides a platform for discussion of cutting edge solutions to the world’s water and energy issues, while also addressing approaches to sustainable and effective adaptation throughout the water sector. Hosting the IWA WEC Conference in Mexico City provides a unique opportunity to learn from exciting innovations in the region such as the 30 tank biodigester scheme currently being developed in the Valley Basin in Mexico City. The biodigester will treat sludge from wastewater and extract energy and fertilizer products for the region
 
The overarching goal of IWA’s WEC Conference is to identify, showcase and debate practical experiences and examples of how cities, industries and farmers can achieve Water – Energy neutrality, reduce their water related carbon footprint and improve their water security. The overall theme of the 2014 IWA WEC Conference is “Solutions for Future Water Security”.
If you are looking for marketing opportunities for 2014, the International Water Association (IWA) invites you to join colleagues from around the world, including researchers, practitioners, policy makers, consultants, and manufacturers  at the IWA Water, Energy and Climate Conference in Mexico City, Mexico. This is a unique opportunity for you to spotlight your company/organization’s capabilities in an exclusive environment over three days to hundreds of water professionals focusing on energy, climate and water security from across the water cycle from research to practical application to policy and regulation.
 
Held in conjunction with the IWA Water, Energy and Climate Conference, this is a high-profile international event that facilitates to develop and help set the research and practice agenda for water and sanitation services internationally.
 
For the Exhibition, there will be several knowledge institutes and other organizations involved in the development of clean, safe drinking water and sanitation services.

Themes
Urban water – energy neutrality through efficient utilities, industries and cities
This theme will explore the technology and processes to achieve utility and city water-energy efficiency and energy production.
 
Policy and finance for energy and carbon neutrality
This theme will explore the enabling environment (institutions, policies, financing mechanisms, etc) to guide the transition to urban and industrial water-energy neutrality.
 
Planning and infrastructure for a resilient water sector
This themewill look at how to cities, industries and farmers can improve their water security through building resilience to the impacts of a changing environment due to climate, increasing urbanization and changes in land use as well as economic and social shifts.
 
Optimising water cycle management for securing urban and industrial water supplies
This theme will investigate how to cope with reduced or erratic rainfall affecting the quantity and quality of critical water supplies to urban areas and industries through integrated urban water management.
 
Water, Energy and Climate Conference Dates
