The study provides recent advances and adaptations in policy, planning and service delivery to better manage climate related risks in urban contexts. It also identifies actionable strategies to support efforts to improve climate resilience in urban sanitation and to strengthen the argument for their implementation
New research on climate resilient urban sanitation offers state of the evidence and a collective learning agenda. Already progress on sanitation is slow, and climate change further puts urban sanitation services at risk. ISF just completed a landscape study on current state of thinking, evidence and action on this topic. Funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the study engaged more than 60 organisations from across multiple countries working on urban sanitation and resilience. It was guided by a climate resilience and systems strengthening framework developed by ISF. The study provides recent advances and adaptations in policy, planning and service delivery to better manage climate related risks in urban contexts. It also identifies actionable strategies to support efforts to improve climate resilience in urban sanitation and to strengthen the argument for their implementation.Willetts, J Kumar, A, Mills, F (2022).
