The challenge today is to develop a new model of resource use which is more economical, more efficient and based on a more circular economy. Reusing materials allows less CO2 emissions than the extraction, production and transportation of new resources.​

### With regard to adaptation and resilience, Veolia has implemented three types of solution:

- Water recycling to limit pressure on resources and users' conflicts;
- Management of wastewater systems when raining to avoid flooding;
- Contingency plans for the provision of essential services in cas of extreme events.

### With regard to mitigating emissions, Veolia has developed three circular economy solutions to reduce both its carbon footprint and that of its customers:

- Energy efficiency and heating networks;
- Production of renewable energy;
- Recovery and recycling of materials and water
