Professor and author Cees Buisman, whose book explores how the growth of humanity depends on the growth of our consciousness, has been announced as a “BlueNote” speaker at global water technology event, BlueTech Forum.
Professor Buisman is head of circular water technology at Wageningen University & Research, the Netherlands, and executive board member at Wetsus, the European centre of excellence for sustainable water technology.
His 2020 book, We Need to Change to Solve the Water Crisis argues that it is possible for the world’s population – as predicted for the year 2100 – to live together on earth provided that the richer part no longer merely focuses on its own health, prosperity and happiness and instead starts working seriously on developing a higher consciousness.
Buisman is a long-standing friend and collaborator of BlueTech Research and was a guest speaker at its online roundtable event, held in October 2021, to address net zero carbon and water.
BlueTech Research founder and chief executive Paul O’Callaghan said: “Cees is hugely respected throughout all corners of the global water community. We are privileged he has accepted our invite to be a BlueNote speaker at BlueTech Forum 2022. His presentations – such as at our recent roundtable – never fail to inspire.
“The themes running through Cees’ book align perfectly with the theme of BlueTech Forum 2022 – Radical Collaboration for Regeneration. The global water and climate dialogue is shifting away from making the environment ‘less-worse’ and towards initiating regrowth and regeneration.
“Radical collaborations are needed if we are to have a lasting impact and I know that Cees will encourage us all to think differently and spark new ideas among participants.”
Taking place at the Vancouver Convention Centre, with nearby Science World as the reception venue, forum organisers are building an immersive and inspiring experience to bring the story of water to life and ensure enduring impact.
