The Stream (with Will & Tom)

ESG, water and first adopters with Nate Allen | S4 Ep.6

Will Sarni & Tom Freyberg Season 4 Episode 6

This week, Nate Allen, the executive director of WaterStart, joins Will and Tom to talk about how, to date, the non-profit company has helped to facilitate 42 pilot projects, evaluate 400 technologies and helped raise total funding of $3.2 million dollars.


Plus, listen to Nate talk about: 

  • How the organisation operates with what it calls “first adopters” – helping to provide channels for innovation for various stakeholders, from technology companies to management agencies and policymakers
  • Nate gives his honest views on the increasing interest from the investment community and beyond in ESG – environmental, social and governance and why it’s the right time for water
  • And Nate talks about how Nevada is a forward-thinking state when it comes to water, having outlawed turf and with changes afoot on cooling towers and why this crosses the water-energy nexus.

Plus much, much more!
