The water sector is a significant contributor to climate change through the greenhouse gas emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4) – wastewater treatment contributes some 5% of global anthropogenic N2O and 6% of global anthropogenic CH₄ emissions. This webinar will present an overview of the water sector and climate change and opportunities for industry practitioners to understand the importance of GHG emissions in treating water and wastewater while also reducing the sector’s contribution to greenhouse gas emissions.

This webinar highlights the linkages between reducing GHG emissions and move towards circular economy and how this supports acting on other planetary boundaries beyond climate change.
