Vision 2030 : the resilience of water supply and sanitation in the face of climate change: technical report

Overview

This report presents the findings of research into the projected impact of climate change on water and sanitation services by 2020 and by 2030. These time horizons are relevant to investment decision-making and have been used in other water-using sectors. Results for the year 2020 indicate the potential for climate change to undermine investments already made and committed towards achieving the MDG targets and towards improving access to safe-drinking water and sanitation beyond 2015; and estimates for 2030 provide for responses in technology selection and planning to expected climate changes.
