Financing a Water Secure Future
This report presents a summary of the key challenges and opportunities related to
financing that contributes to water security and sustainable growth distilling insights
from the Roundtable on Financing Water and related analyses. It covers a broad range
of water-related investments, including water and sanitation services, water resources
management, agricultural water and managing water-related risks (“too much”, “too
little” and “too polluted”). It summarises findings from analysis of investments needs
and financing capacities, trends in development finance for water and explores how
water risks generate financial impacts for corporates. The report highlights options
to address the financing challenge by strengthening the enabling environment for investment,
making the best use of existing sources of finance, strategic investment planning
and mobilising additional finance via a range of financing approaches. Finally, the
report sets out a vision for future OECD work on financing water and for the Roundtable
on Financing Water.
