Floods and droughts are two key signs that #ClimateChange is here - having too much, or not enough, water. And yet access to #CleanWater is key to coping with the #ClimateCrisis . Join in our #TwitterSpace next week to find out more. #WASHTwitter

It passed! Ministers of Health from all @UN Member States at #WHA72 just formally and publicly committed to take action to ensure every health care facility, everywhere, has water, sanitation and hygiene #WASHinHCF . Here is the moment the resolution was adopted.

In the 10 years since the @UN recognised water & sanitation as #HumanRights there has been some progress. But there is a long way to go. In this #DecadeOfAction on the #SDGs let's make sure everyone, everywhere has their #WaterSanitationRights fulfilled. RT if you're with us!

We’re at the official review of #SDG6 at #HLPF2018 and the facts are clear: governments are way off their 2030 Agenda. Can we wait until 2066 until the world gets even “basic” sanitation? RT if you agree that urgent action is needed on #WASH now.

Unless we shift to more pragmatic #WASH investment addressing people’s complex needs, many will still be drinking dirty water in 2030. How do we achieve #universalaccess ? @BethlehemMengis unveils WaterAid Ethiopia’s guide to inclusive WASH #SWWW

This year's World Water Week focuses on inequality around the world. Without clean water, the world's poorest people are locked into poverty. We're fighting for a world where everyone, everywhere has clean water and decent toilets not just for today, but for good. #WWWeek

Climate change causes loss and damage in so many ways. Rising sea levels contaminate clean water supplies. Cyclones and floods destroy toilets. Ecosystems, Indigenous and local knowledge, and people's lives are lost. 👉 Read our blog: #LossAndDamage

Humans produce 350 million tonnes of poo a year 💩 but many sanitation workers who keep their communities clean face terrible conditions, violating their dignity and #HumanRights . On #WorldToiletDay share this film & show your support for sanitation workers around the world.

“There is never a good time to cut aid for lifesaving water & sanitation but the middle of a pandemic must be one of the worst." - @WainwrightTim . Clean water & sanitation are vital against #COVID19 & #ClimateChange . These cuts to #UKAid must be reversed.

🤒 The lack of water, sanitation and hygiene in healthcare facilities is one of the most devastating, yet avoidable, risks to patient safety. Ahead of #PatientSafetySummit , we call on ministers of health to recognise these services are essential to safe healthcare. #PSS2023

Every day, millions of people use or work in a healthcare facility without adequate water, sanitation and hygiene services. 🦠 This exposes them to life-threatening, and avoidable, infections. #PSS2023 #Hygiene4Health

📍 We're in New York City 🇺🇸 for day one of the #HLPF2019 at the @UN . Why? Because clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene are basic human rights - and it's our mission to make sure governments keep their #SDG promises. Lets get started!
