Climate Resilient Urban Sanitation – Accelerating the Convergence of Sanitation and Climate Action

Our climate is rapidly changing, with impacts acutely observed in urban areas where 55 per cent of the world’s population lives. Impacts are most prominently felt on the water cycle; however, drought, flooding and other extreme weather events are also impacting sanitation systems. This report has been commissioned to better understand how climate change impacts will affect urban sanitation systems, and what needs to be done to address this.
