Coastal climate impact analysis and sanitation hazard assessment framework
Explore this handbook for stepwise guidance on developing an adaptive action plan for ensuring the resilience of cities' sanitation services to the impacts of sea level rise. Planning for sea level rise is needed to ensure the future reliability of these services and upgrade neglected sanitation services.
