S2: Sustainably Speaking Beyond the Aula

In the third episode of season 3, Marianna Pilecka invites Jakob Gamrot, Global Sustainability Strategy Advisor at Grundfos, to unpack the often-overlooked connection between water and climate change. Together, they explore why most climate impacts are expressed through water, how water management can accelerate or slow down emissions, and what this means for climate action. Using Poland’s drained wetlands and peatlands as a concrete case, the conversation moves from local water changes to regional and global climate effects, before closing with practical solutions, from nature-based restoration to smart water technologies and business models.
