Global Trends in Climate-Water Resilience 2025
Navigating the Policy, Finance, and Climate Landscape
(English, PDF)
As the global climate crisis deepens, water is increasingly understood not just as a casualty of climate change but as a critical pathway to resilience. The UK Government recognises that achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals depends on securing water for people, nature, and economies. That is why we are proud to support the Water Resilience Tracker as part of the Just Transitions for Water Security (TWS) programme.
This Global Trends Report on Climate and Water Resilience provides a timely, practical, and forwardlooking guide to the evolving global landscape of policy, finance, and institutional frameworks. It sheds light on the real-world barriers countries face in delivering water resilience and, crucially, identifies where we must act - together and with urgency.
Through partnerships in Brazil, Egypt, Malawi, and Nepal, the Water Resilience Tracker is demonstrating that it is possible to turn global climate commitments into local action.
It is providing governments with the tools and confidence to integrate water into their climate strategies, attract finance, and protect the communities most at risk.
We hope this report will inform decisions, shape action, and inspire greater ambition from all who share our commitment to a water-secure and climate-resilient future.
