Integrated urban drainage systems (IUDS) (i.e., sewer systems, wastewater treatment plants and receiving water bodies) contribute to climate change being sources of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). This paper, produced by the International Working Group on Data and Models, which works under the IWA/IAHR Joint Committee on Urban Drainage, reviews the state-of-the-art and the recently developed modelling tools used to understand and manage GHG emissions from IUDS. Further, open problems and research gaps are discussed, while proposing a framework for handling GHG from IUDS. The literature review reveals that there is a need to strengthen and partially adequate already available mathematical models for IUDS to take GHG into account.
