About us
This knowledge platform is a critical component for the effective roll-out of the Water and Wastewater Companies for Climate Mitigation (WaCCliM) project, which sets out a roadmap for a low carbon urban water management.
Inspired by the opportunities identified in the WaCCliM pilot utilities in Jordan, Mexico, Peru and Thailand to reduce their water, energy and carbon footprints of the urban water cycle, the WaCCliM roadmap is intended to help guide other water utilities through the steps needed to ultimately reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It takes them through awareness raising and understanding drivers for carbon reduction, assessment of GHG emissions and opportunities to reduce them, implementing and financing projects, and monitoring.
This knowledge platform facilitates the execution of each step.
Our Partners
The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and the International Water Association (IWA) are working together with their partners from Jordan, Mexico, Peru and Thailand on the WaCCliM project. This knowledge platform is a deliverable from the WaCCliM project, which is part of the International Climate Initiative (IKI). The German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU) supports this initiative on the basis of a decision adopted by the German Bundestag.
