New article at the SDG Knowledge Hub: Advancing climate finance for climate-resilient sanitation
Published:
Together with my colleagues at SEI - Nhilce Esquivel and Carla Liera and other colleagues from the Climate Resilient Sanitation Coalition, we recently published an article on the SDG Knowledge Hub, introducing the newly developed Practical Guidelines for Designing Climate-resilient Sanitation Projects for the Green Climate Fund (GCF). These guidelines, a collaborative effort put together by members the Climate Resilient Sanitation Coalition, provide actionable recommendations for integrating climate adaptation and mitigation within sanitation projects, aiming to secure essential funding for vulnerable communities facing climate-related sanitation challenges. Set to launch at COP29, the guidelines offer practical tools for national governments and other stakeholders to align sanitation with climate strategies and access GCF funding.
