The challenges of water waste and climate change in cities

“Cities have become the place where development challenges and opportunities increasingly come face to face. Our most recent study highlights many of the challenges linked to water, waste, and climate change in cities. Cities play a prominent role in our economic development as more than 80% of the Gross
World Product (GWP) comes from cities. Water links the local to the regional, and brings together global questions of food security, public health, urbanization, transport, climate change, circular economy, and energy.”
