"Sanitation in Crisis:
Can We Build Climate-Resilient Systems Before It is Too Late?"Extreme
weather is wreaking havoc on sanitation systems, leading to floods, wastewater
overflows, and public health disasters. However, the sanitation sector itself
contributes to climate change. Can we break this cycle? This study explores
innovative, nature-based, and decentralized solutions that could redefine urban
resilience. Is your city prepared for the next climate disaster?
Climate-Resilient Sanitation:
Safeguarding Public Health & Sustainability
Climate
change significantly threatens global sanitation infrastructure, increasing
risks to public health and environmental sustainability. Extreme weather
events, such as intense rainfall, flooding, and rising sea levels, can damage
or overwhelm sanitation systems, leading to wastewater overflows and the spread
of waterborne diseases (Hyde-Smith et al., 2022). Furthermore, the sanitation
sector itself contributes to climate change through greenhouse gas emissions
(Dickin et al., 2020). Addressing these challenges requires a strategic shift
toward climate-resilient sanitation systems.
This
study examines the vulnerabilities of existing sanitation infrastructure to
climate-related impacts, drawing on case studies of infrastructure failures and
service disruptions (Schertenleib, 2005). By identifying these weaknesses, the
research outlines essential principles for designing and implementing
sustainable sanitation solutions. Key strategies include integrating
nature-based solutions, modernizing infrastructure (Hardyanto, 2024), and
adopting decentralized sanitation systems, which enhance adaptability and
resilience.
The
findings underscore the urgent need for proactive and adaptive sanitation
planning that prioritizes public health, environmental protection, and
long-term sustainability. Climate-resilient sanitation infrastructure not only
safeguards communities from disease outbreaks but also ensures the continued
functionality of essential services despite environmental changes. Investing in
sustainable sanitation systems is critical for mitigating climate change's
impact and fostering urban resilience in a rapidly changing world.
1. Introduction
Access to safe and reliable sanitation is
essential for public health, economic stability, and environmental
sustainability. Effective sanitation systems prevent disease transmission,
protect water resources, and contribute to a cleaner environment. As a
fundamental component of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 6), achieving
universal access to sanitation remains a global priority (Save Water, 2020).
However, climate change increasingly threatens these critical systems,
requiring urgent adaptation strategies.
Rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and
shifting precipitation patterns disrupt sanitation services and damage
infrastructure worldwide (Howard et al., 2016; Hyde-Smith et al., 2022).
Coastal communities face saltwater intrusion, contaminating freshwater sources
and compromising treatment facilities. Intense rainfall overwhelms wastewater
systems, leading to sewage overflows and heightened public health risks
(Pudyastuti & Nugraha, 2018). Additionally, prolonged droughts in
water-scarce regions further stress sanitation infrastructure, reducing access
to safe hygiene practices and increasing disease vulnerability (Hyde-Smith et
al., 2022).
Governments and stakeholders recognize these
threats and are implementing adaptive measures. Investments in
climate-resilient infrastructure, such as nature-based solutions and
decentralized sanitation systems, aim to enhance resilience (Hardyanto, 2024).
Successful examples include flood-resistant wastewater treatment plants and
innovative water management strategies in vulnerable regions. These initiatives
demonstrate the potential for sustainable sanitation solutions that mitigate
climate risks.
Addressing these challenges requires a paradigm
shift in sanitation planning. Policymakers must integrate climate resilience
into infrastructure development to safeguard public health and environmental
stability. This research explores the impacts of climate change on sanitation
systems, identifies vulnerabilities, and proposes solutions tailored to
geographic and socioeconomic contexts (Hardyanto, 2024; Schertenleib, 2005). By
providing actionable recommendations, this study aims to support the development
of sustainable, climate-resilient sanitation strategies, ensuring long-term
service provision and community well-being.
2. Challenges and Risks
in Climate-Resilient Sanitation
2.1 Impact of Climate
Change on Sanitation
Climate change disrupts sanitation systems worldwide, threatening
infrastructure and service delivery. Extreme weather events, such as heavy
rainfall and flooding, overwhelm wastewater treatment plants, causing system
failures and releasing untreated sewage into the environment (Pudyastuti &
Nugraha, 2018; Hyde-Smith et al., 2022). Coastal areas face saltwater intrusion
due to rising sea levels, contaminating freshwater sources and damaging
treatment facilities. In rural areas, inadequate drainage systems worsen
sanitation access, while urban regions struggle with overloaded sewer networks
and waterlogged waste management facilities.
Droughts further strain sanitation systems,
especially those reliant on water-intensive processes like flushing and
wastewater treatment (Hardyanto, 2024). Disruptions in sanitation services,
including faecal sludge collection and disposal, expose populations to
increased health risks, particularly in vulnerable communities with limited
infrastructure.
2.2 Health Risks and
Disease Outbreaks
Sanitation failures amplify the risk of disease outbreaks, particularly in
areas affected by climate-related disasters. Exposure to untreated sewage and
contaminated water sources increases the prevalence of waterborne diseases such
as cholera, typhoid, and diarrheal infections (Howard et al., 2016). Overflows
from sewage systems and stagnant floodwaters contribute to respiratory and skin
infections, disproportionately affecting children, the elderly, and
immunocompromised individuals.
Past health crises illustrate the dangers of
inadequate sanitation during extreme weather events. For example, during the
2010 Haiti earthquake, disruptions in sanitation led to a cholera outbreak that
affected thousands, highlighting the urgent need for resilient sanitation
infrastructure in disaster-prone areas.
Addressing these challenges requires adaptive
strategies, including nature-based solutions, decentralized sanitation systems,
and investments in climate-resilient infrastructure. Policymakers must
integrate climate considerations into sanitation planning to protect public
health and ensure sustainable service delivery in the face of ongoing
environmental changes.

sustainability (Capodaglio, 2017; Milićević et al., 2024). The Rapid Climate
Adaptation Assessment (RCAA) in Ghana further evaluates urban sanitation
vulnerabilities, ensuring targeted interventions for high-risk areas (Clemenz
et al., 2019).
3.3 Nature-Based
Solutions for Sustainable Urban Sanitation
Integrating wetland systems into urban sanitation provides an innovative
alternative to conventional wastewater treatment. These systems filter
pollutants, reduce flood risks, and enhance biodiversity while creating job
opportunities and improving community engagement (Bahman & Yazdian, 2024).
Cities such as Rotterdam and Singapore have successfully implemented green
infrastructure solutions that combine sanitation resilience with broader urban
sustainability goals.
3.4 Bridging Sanitation
with Broader Climate Adaptation Strategies
A nexus approach linking water, energy, and food systems enhances the
sustainability of sanitation governance (Bahman & Yazdian, 2024). Ghana's
coastal regions exemplify this strategy by integrating climate-adaptive
sanitation systems with agriculture and water management (Mensah, 2022).
Similarly, tree-planting initiatives contribute to watershed protection,
reducing erosion and improving water quality (Ahmed et al., 2022).
These developments highlight the importance of
collaborative, climate-conscious sanitation planning. Policymakers,
researchers, and communities must continue refining strategies to strengthen
resilience and ensure equitable access to sustainable sanitation services in a
changing climate.
4. Building
Climate-Resilient Sanitation Systems

sanitation by prioritizing sustainable solutions, such as constructed wetlands
and eco-sanitation systems (Howard et al., 2016; Justino et al., 2023). These
approaches reduce environmental contamination while supporting public health
and economic development. Nutrient recovery from sanitation systems also
improves food security by repurposing treated waste for agriculture
(Castro-Herrera et al., 2021). Diverse financing models, including
public-private partnerships, create opportunities for investment in
infrastructure that benefits both urban and rural communities (Snyder et al.,
2020).
4.4 Strengthening
Governance for Sustainable Sanitation
Effective governance structures align local sanitation policies with national
climate adaptation goals. Vulnerability assessments help tailor interventions
to specific regional risks, ensuring infrastructure withstands climate-related
shocks (Mills et al., 2020). Integrating multi-level governance strategies
fosters accountability and long-term sustainability (Schrecongost et al.,
2020).
By aligning sanitation strategies with climate
resilience, policymakers and stakeholders can secure sustainable sanitation
services, safeguard public health, and support economic development. Investing

contributed to environmental sustainability and food security (Sudhiastiningsih
et al., 2024). Community involvement remains crucial in these initiatives,
ensuring solutions meet local needs (Willetts et al., 2022).
5.2 Comparative
Insights: Bangladesh's Approach to Climate-Resilient Sanitation
Bangladesh faces similar sanitation challenges, exacerbated by rising sea
levels and frequent flooding. The country has adopted decentralized wastewater
treatment and floating latrines to maintain sanitation services in flood-prone
areas. Unlike Indonesia, Bangladesh has focused on low-cost, locally managed
systems, reducing dependence on centralized infrastructure. This comparative
approach demonstrates how tailored strategies enhance resilience across
different geographic and socioeconomic contexts.
5.3 Governance and
Financial Barriers
Fragmented governance structures hinder urban sanitation progress. In
Indonesia, overlapping responsibilities among local and national agencies
create inefficiencies in planning and resource allocation (Shaw et al., 2021).
Strengthening coordination between government levels and integrating sanitation
with urban development strategies can improve service delivery.
Financial constraints remain a significant
obstacle. Many municipalities struggle to secure funds for sanitation
infrastructure upgrades (Willetts et al., 2022). Successful funding models,
such as public-private partnerships (PPPs) and microfinancing, have mobilized
investments in countries like India and Kenya. These models offer valuable
lessons for Indonesia and other nations facing similar challenges (Krueger et
al., 2020).
5.4 Participatory
Planning and Community Engagement
Community participation plays a vital role in building resilient sanitation
systems. In Bangladesh, participatory planning has enabled local communities to
contribute to infrastructure design and maintenance, fostering ownership and
sustainability. In Indonesia, initiatives that involve residents in sanitation
governance have resulted in more effective and culturally appropriate solutions
(Bikomeye et al., 2021).
Indonesia's experience underscores the need for localized, climate-adaptive
