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.
