The WaCCliM has demonstrated that water and wastewater emissions are relevant to reaching net zero emissions and can contribute significantly to methane reductions. To leverage the sector’s mitigation potential, water and wastewater emissions should be considered in national GHG inventories. The Global Methane Pledge, in particular, can only succeed if solutions for low GHG wastewater management are scaled up.

Obtenga nuevas perspectivas al identificar áreas de oportunidad para reducir las emisiones de GEI, aumentar el ahorro de energía y mejorar la eficiencia general para reducir costos.
Evaluation of the wastewater reutilization for irrigation in high-water stress regions in Chihuahua, Mexico
This document intends to depict the existing situation in Chihuahua City, capital of the state of Chihuahua, in the northern region of Mexico, including its climate context, water situation, wastewater treatment infrastructure, and greenhouse gas emissions from this process. To achieve this goal, the methodology of this project comprises an extensive literature research on climate change, the context of Mexico, and international case studies; communication with organizations and authorities in Chihuahua that provide valuable data and information, and calculations based on literature and on the guidelines of WaCCliM.
