Key Issues

Climate Change

The water sector is at the forefront of the climate crisis, seen through an increase in frequency and severity of intense storms, extreme temperatures, flooding, droughts, sea level rise, and saltwater intrusion. We have less than a decade to make meaningful climate progress before greenhouse gas emissions warm the planet enough to set off unprecedented and irreversible impacts. To reach a sustainable and equitable water future, the water sector can and must be part of the climate solution.
