Unpacking freshwater’s role: Climate mitigation measures in freshwater systems

Freshwater ecosystems such as wetlands, rivers, and lakes are intimately linked to climate mitigation since aquatic environments can act as both greenhouse gas sinks and sources. For example, wetlands can store large amounts of carbon, but when drained they can risk releasing greenhouse gases instead.

Unpacking freshwater’s role: Climate mitigation measures in energy systems

The transition to renewable, cleaner energy sources is pivotal to climate security. This transition can provide opportunities to reduce pressure on water sources from the energy sector but can, at the same time, pose risks that increase demand on water. It is therefore critical to consider and integrate freshwater across all aspects of the development of renewable energy sources.

Unpacking freshwater’s role: Climate mitigation measures in drinking water and sanitation services

Wastewater collection, treatment, and discharge all contribute to the direct emissions of greenhouse gases from the decomposition of organic matter. In addition, drinking-water and wastewater management are often associated with indirect emissions from energy-intensive processes. Reducing the release of greenhouse gases in wastewater, sanitation, and drinking water processes is therefore a great opportunity for climate change mitigation.
