Designed for use by water professionals and policymakers, the publication evaluates five sectors: water supply, sanitation, water resource management, irrigated agriculture, and land use. Highlighting how emissions from wastewater are on a par with those from aviation, it assesses tools and policies, and outlines ways to mobilize finance to clean up the sector and support the shift towards net zero.
