The water sector accounts for approximately 10% of global emissions, primarily due to energy consumption for water treatment and transport, as well as emissions from organic and wastewater decomposition.
Currently, two billion people lack access to safe drinking water, with four billion experiencing water stress at least one month annually.
Researchers often hesitate to engage directly with policymakers, leading to a gap between research findings and policy implementation.
A 2024 report identified that 1.6 billion tonnes of CO₂ equivalent could be avoided or removed in the water sector globally, presenting a significant opportunity for emission reductions.
Researchers are encouraged to actively participate in policy discussions, providing evidence-based insights to inform decision-making and bridge the gap between research and practical implementation.
