WaterAid Global’s Tweets

We have a laundry list of things we'd like to see at #COP27 over the next two weeks. Here is a brief(ish) list of what we'll be calling on governments to do🧵 👇

The first members of our delegation are here and present at the beautiful #Water4Climate Pavilion in the Blue Zone! Here - and throughout #COP27 - we'll be spreading the message that water, sanitation and hygiene are key to adapting to climate change.

Progress towards #SDG6 is much too slow. We must address the profoundly gendered coping responses and adaptation mechanisms to #ClimateChange and everyone can access #CleanWater, sanitation and hygiene. Read and share our joint statement: fal.cn/3twOx #COP27

Mobilising capital for water: blended finance solutions to scale investment in emerging markets |...

Closing out day 1 of the #TerraCarta Action Forum, was the Water Resilience for a Healthy, Sustainable and Prosperous Future' Reception. This brought together changemakers from across sectors, committed to driving action on water security and infrastructure investments.

"We also need to work with communities to bring in an understanding of what's needed and find solutions as a group." Find out more about #BlendedFinance for climate resilience through water 👉 washmatters.wateraid.org/publications/m #Water4Climate

Explore how blended finance solutions can unlock capital for high-impact water and sanitation assets and services that serve developing economies, in this report commissioned by WaterAid to SYSTEMIQ.

"Different types of investors can provide different types of finance. Our research shows that if public funding is used to build governance, that will help the private sector feel comfortable to invest in projects." -

We need to look at the issue of finance holistically, says

and understand that pockets of finance will come from different sectors.

Sanitation and Water for All

Climate change is a threat to water and sanitation, and an opportunity too! Decision-makers need to ensure that water and sanitation are integrated into national climate plans as they have direct impact on communities. #SWAinAction #Water4Climate

6️⃣ (Last but not least!) Address the structural inequalities – particularly for the most vulnerable groups – that are being compounded by climate change. #COP27

5️⃣ Adopt the Locally Led Adaptation Principles as the most impactful way to build adaptation and resilience to climate change 💪

4️⃣ Support approaches that address whole water, sanitation and hygiene systems to ensure they are sustainable and reliable - so can function through drought and flood.

3️⃣ ... and that they balance climate funding so that as much money is spent on adaptation as is on mitigation.

2️⃣ Ensure wealthy countries more than double their public finance for adaptation by 2025, based on 2019 levels ...

1️⃣ Dedicate much more public climate finance 💰 to water, sanitation and hygiene to reduce communities’ vulnerabilities to climate impacts.

We'll be playing a little game of #COP27 bingo over the next two weeks. What will we see crossed off the card? Come back at the end of the conference to see how we got on. #ClimateAction #ClimateJustice

#COP27 starts today in Egypt with important speeches from important people. We'd love to hear world leaders talk about the role women and water play in adapting to climate change. But just in case they don't, we put together our own opening speech.
