Vision 2030: The Resilience of Water Supply and Sanitation in the face of climate change
The global climate is changing – drinking-water and sanitation services have to prepare for the impact.
If the widely anticipated flood and drought consequences of climate change come to pass, then both established water and sanitation services and future gains in access and service quality will be at risk.

Five broad policy-relevant conclusions are reached.
