Water and climate questions are usually addressed from the perspective of adaptation to climate change. For urban water services the mitigation aspect has been less studied up till now. These considerations fit into the broader context of the interdependence of energy and water (Water-Energy Nexus). This report approaches the question from the angle of energy use in the water sector rather than the better-known water requirements for the energy sector. Reducing GHG emissions in urban water management requires reducing both fossil energy requirements and direct emissions of nitrous oxide and methane. Finally, it must be said that the need to reduce the GHG emissions of water and sanitation services goes with the growing demand for water. It should increase by 50% between now and 2030 worldwide due to the combined effects of population growth, economic development, and the shift in consumer patterns. This synthetic report aims to provide an overview of possible levers to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of water and sanitation services and provides an analysis of how adaptation measures can embrace this low-carbon approach. 517 $aReducing the Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Water and Sanitation Services 606 $aMunicipal water supply 615 0$aMunicipal water supply. 676 $a628.1091732 702 $aAlix$b Alexandre 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910584587503321 996 $aReducing the Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Water and Sanitation Services$92987096 997 $aUNINA
