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.

Fact Sheet | Strengthening the Water-Energy-Climate Nexus for Green Recovery
Continuous and financially sustainable water and sanitation services are the backbone of resilient economies, particularly during challenging times. In addition to that, the urban water sector can lead the transition towards green recovery through targeted investments, embarking on a pathway towards decarbonization and environmental sustainability. Besides securing continuous drinking water and sanitation for hygiene measures and industrial production, an investment initiative is needed to tap the full potential of combining water, energy and climate action. Implementing low carbon energy projects in the urban water and sanitation sector improves utilities services and financial sustainability, creates green jobs and local business opportunities, protects the climate and environment and increases resilience to face future financial, health and climate crises.
