The World Bank highlights that today more than 2.3 billion people lack access to safe drinking water. Developing countries and SIDS are most vulnerable to water shortage. Immediate action is needed to deal with floods, droughts, sea level rise and other climate related risks to water supply.
At the heart of building climate resilience stands the need for funding. GWP works together with governments and funding stakeholders providing the science, risk assessment, feasibility and design studies that enable access to climate finance for the adaptation of natural and built water systems.
