    Description

    "Thomas Schumann Water Security Fund” commitment to the Water Action Agenda is accelerating UN SDG 6.4 “By 2030, substantially increase water-use efficiency across all sectors and ensure sustainable withdrawals and supply of freshwater to address water scarcity and substantially reduce the number of people suffering from water scarcity.” Both portfolio ventures Project Greenland (7 trillion liters/year, premium freshwater supply for 20 years) and Project Alaska ( 30 billion gallons/year, premium freshwater supply for 20 years) support this commitment.

    Thomas Schumann Capital (TSC) was founded 2011 in Delaware. TSC owns and manages TSC Water Security Index, Project Greenland Inc., Project Alaska and coming 2023 Thomas Schumann Water Security Fund. All public and private equity investment vehicles advance UN SDG 6 by either driving global capital to embrace UN SDG and/or providing long-term freshwater supply to the real economy.

    Expected Impact

    This action accelerates UN SDG 6 in public and private markets through implementation of capital and actual freshwater resources for UN SDG 6.
