Sanitation and Climate Change.

 • By 2050, around 1.6 billion people will be at risk of floods, potentially disrupting ordestroying sanitation services as well as dislocating populations so they no longer have access to safely managed sanitation, and up to 3.2 billion people will live in potentially severely water-scarce areas, negatively impacting sanitation services. (United Nations, 2020) 

• Increased glacier melting, exacerbated by methane emissions from sanitation,contributes significantly to global sea-level rise, with today’s sea level about 20 cm higher than in 1900, risking inundating coastal sanitation infrastructure and services. (IPCC, 2020)
