SuSanA is a member of the Climate Resilient Sanitation Coalition for Action.
Sanitation systems impacted by climate hazards create major health and contamination risks and also contribute significant greenhouse gas emissions, particularly if they are poorly managed. And yet sanitation can be a climate solution, with adaptation and mitigation benefits for communities, ecosystems and living environments.
Building on a joint Call to Action launched at COP27 in 2022, the Climate Resilient Sanitation Coalition aims to integrate sanitation into climate policy and practice, and climate adaptation and mitigation into sanitation policy and practice. It is a growing coalition of international organisations, research organisations and practitioners working collectively towards improved prioritisation, capacity and investment in climate resilient sanitation.
You can also find the joint Blog Post of the CRSC on the SuSanA Blog here, focusing on the importance of putting sanitation (back) on the global agenda and how we can take part in this initiative.
