Financing Water Security and Green Growth

Financing Water Security and Green Growth examines how the scale and structure of investment can determine whether communities, economies and ecosystems have reliable water. It connects water security to climate resilience and green growth, showing why finance must address supply, demand, wastewater, pollution and the condition of natural systems together.

The book compares public, private and blended financing approaches across different levels of government and development. It considers how institutions can mobilise capital for conservation, efficiency, resilient infrastructure, treatment and ecosystem-based measures while managing risk and maintaining public value.

Written for policymakers, finance and water professionals, development institutions, researchers and students, it provides a framework for turning water priorities into credible, investable programmes rather than disconnected projects.
