Rural sanitation and climate change

14 July 2021 9:30–11:00

Join the Sanitation Learning Hub for a webinar on climate change and rural sanitation – putting ideas into practice.

Climate change is an emerging concern in the rural sanitation and hygiene sector, where impacts disproportionately affect already disadvantaged and marginalised groups. There is a real risk that progress made in improving rural sanitation access and coverage will slow, or even reverse.

Following the publication of the most recent edition of the Frontiers of Sanitation, the Sanitation Learning Hub and the Institute for Sustainable Futures are organising a webinar to present key aspects of this research on climate change and rural sanitation.

Drawing on the publication this webinar will:

  • Highlight parallels between climate change and sanitation and hygiene terms and concepts.
  • Illustrate various ways in which climate hazards impact rural sanitation and hygiene practices and programming
  • Provide actionable ideas to get started on integrating climate thinking into existing rural sanitation and hygiene thinking, programming, and practice.

The webinar will be recorded. A webinar recording will be made available shortly afterwards on the Sanitation Learning Hub YouTube channel.

For any queries, please email us at [email protected].

Register for the webinar on Zoom.
