This document summarizes the evidence for the impact of climate change on water and sanitation technologies in the near to medium term. It aims to help policy-makers, planners, operators and communities in making practical decisions based on clear criteria, to improve the resilience of their water and sanitation services. It is part of a larger set of materials, including a full technical report and a set of background reports and guidance notes.
WHO and DFID have collaborated to carry out this study which has brought together our joint knowledge and expertise in water, sanitation, health and development. Ensuring optimal resilience of water and sanitation services in a globally changing climate context will be crucial to maintaining the momentum of making progress in health and development.
