Challenges are also posed by lack of space, monitoring and data acquisition on water quality and quantity, appropriate and sustainable technologies, and vulnerability to climate change. Moreover, the existing infrastructure is aged and dilapidated, urging immediate attention.

The Big eBook of Sustainability Reporting Frameworks 2023
This guide will help you navigate through the complex landscape of sustainability frameworks with a climate and energy focus. Despite the myriad of challenges of the last year
including energy and cost of living crises, and geopolitical conflicts, momentum on climate-related sustainability continued in 2022. EcoAct’s annual research revealed that 70% of the largest listed companies are now committed to net-zero. The last year also saw many reminders of the urgency of the climate crisis, with scientists predicting that 2022
was the 8th consecutive year that global temperatures reached at least 1°C above pre-industrial levels. The impacts of this warming in the form of extreme weather events are all too clear..
