CDP’s most recent policy briefing was launched yesterday and articulates why water security is critical in achieving the low carbon ambitions outlined in the Paris Agreement & the SDGs and speaks to some of the linkages between water & climate.

 Key messages of the briefing are:

1.     Water is a key enabler of climate action and NDCs across both mitigation and adaptation

2.     There are strong synergies between water action and climate action – this is an opportunity not a trade-off

3.     The private sector has a strong role – and should be asked to step up.

 The briefing was published to coincide with World Water Week (which starts this Sunday in Stockholm). To support this, a short blog was posted yesterday on the Huffington Post.
