The Mississippi River Basin is a critical freshwater resource, but corporate stewardship faces implementation challenges. In this webinar, panelists will explore key questions tied to designing and implementing nature-based solutions to protect water quality and availability.

• What data gaps are discouraging corporations from adopting science-based freshwater targets? Are the gaps scientific or centered in communication of scientific knowledge to corporations? 
• What is the academic community’s awareness of corporate target setting? 
• What pathways exist or need to be built to close these gaps? 

Registration for this event is free.
