On 27 August 2021, Bernard Van Nuffel, Aqua Publica Europea President, spoke about Nature-Based Solutions at the Stockholm World Water Week event  "Ambitious nature-based solutions are the key to accelerating adaptation" convened by WWF. 

Mr Van Nuffel stated "In front of the magnitude and speed of climate change that we experienced this summer, water operators must probably change their strategy and even their mission: traditionally, water operators have been essentially engineering companies dealing with pipes and treatment plants. This is no longer enough: 

Water operators must become eco-systemic enterprises: we need to go back to nature to deal with the consequences of what we made to nature.
