Hi everyone, 

2 weeks ago, the Sanitation Learning Hub (Institute of Development Studies) and the Institute for Sustainable Futures (University of Technology Sydney) convened a workshop that brought together rural sanitation practitioners and researchers from across the world.

This ensuing call to action sets out immediate, medium-term and long-term actions needed to ensure progress is made in rural sanitation and hygiene access, in the face of growing climate impacts.

Read the recommended actions here:  sanitationlearninghub.org/resource/call-...in-rural-sanitation/

Thanks,

Alice

We're delighted to share our new edition of Frontiers of Sanitation, focusing on rural sanitation and climate change.

Thanks to the authors Jeremy Kohlitz (UTS Institute for Sustainable Futures) and Ruhil Iyer (Sanitation Learning Hub)

This publication aims to address these gaps in rural sanitation and hygiene thinking through:

• unpacking the reasons behind the limited progress towards addressing climate change in the sanitation and hygiene sector;
• exploring climate impacts on rural sanitation and hygiene practices;
• placing people, households, and communities at the centre of programming using participatory methods for learning; and
• providing actionable ideas to integrate climate thinking and learning into rural sanitation and hygiene programming at the household and community level.

Rural sanitation practitioners already consider many types of risk in the design and implementation of programmes. This publication supports rural practitioners in civil society and government to add a climate lens to existing programmes. It provides the sector with a menu of options and ideas from a climate change perspective.

It is not a prescriptive list or a ‘one size fits all’ approach. Practitioners can draw on various ideas and parts of this guidance and modify them to suit specific programmatic and regional contexts. The quotes included are from interviews with sanitation and hygiene practitioners. They describe their experience with programming in contexts increasingly challenged by climate related concerns.
