“This #COP20 is being called the #finance COP. There will be a lot of discussions around the equality of accessing financing." Will @COP29_AZ acknowledge #wateraction as central to climate resilience? @siwi_water shares what to expect: https://t.co/BpxJwHar9h

Real resilience relies on robust systems, adaptable services, and strong policies. Ahead of @‌COP29_AZ, it’s time to reshape #ClimateFinance for future shocks! Here’s what you need to know about #ClimateFinanceforWASH https://t.co/yLc1BoBSyN

.@BristolAirport if you don't have the capacity for fast track, stop selling the tickets! It's really not that difficult. And 25 mins in a "fast track" queue is ... ridiculous!

"People defecating in the open are also using and charging cell phones!" @KVairavamoorthy. Yes! And we keep offering them out latrines and hand pumps. Madness!! Couldn't agree more with Kala's slide. @ihedelft #WaterActionAgenda Symposium

Analysis by @ihedelft of different commitments. Based on data from @SustDev. This is what the #WaterAvtuonAgenda from the 2023 UN conference is based on.

Remember the UN Water conference? Remember all those commitments. Wondered what happened to them? Me too!!! Looking forward to learning a little more at @ihedelft this afternoon. @IRCWASH @sanwatforall

Private finance comes to a strong and well regulated sector. Couldn't agree more with Sr. Leonardo Picciani, Secretary for Environmental Sanitation from Brasil. Private finance isn't a WASH magic money tree - it goes to where it can make a return. #2024FMM @sanwatforall

Sharing experiences on reducing inequalities in water and sanitation. @waterforpeople CEO Mark Duey presenting experiences from Bolivia. Smart and targeted use of subsidy to bring sanitation services to the poor. #2024FMM @sanwatforall

Listening to @DrTedros at our @sanwatforall LAC Finance Minister's Meeting. Water, "Sanitation and Hygiene are *the* most cost effective and impactful health interventions". Yes! Investing in WASH *is* investing in health.

Interesting debate and nice to see more attention given to the broader WASH system. That said, as long as "people served" remains top of funding agencies' monitoring hierarchies, the incentives to duck engaging with wicked political/economic/institutional factors remains huge.

Strong piece by our friends at WIN on standing firm against the weaponisation of water. Sombre but necessary reading on #WorldWaterDay2024

Love this slide. YES we need evidence about HOW to strengthen systems. No we don't need evidence that strong systems are essential for quality services. The first pink bullet! At Osprey/Aguaconsult workshop on next steps for systems strengthening. @AngelaMHuston @Aguaconsult

65 years after the Treaty of Rome, waiting 10 mins while "the Dutch team and locomotive leaves and the German team and loco join" my slow train through Shengenland from the Hague to Berlin. Small blessing .. I don't have to get out and walk across the border! @EU_Commission

Osward Chanda, @AfDB_Group Director for Water Development and Sanitation and Dr Patrick Moriarty (@ircpatrick), Chief Executive Director for @IRCWASH met at @siwi_www #WorldWaterWeek to discuss partnerships on strengthening #sanitation & #water for all in #Africa.

The solution isn't a "UN agency for water". But an empowered and funded @UN_Water and a UN Water Envoy. That is how to deliver colle time action and integration ... and not just create another silo. 2/2

At my first @UN_Water mtg in years. Interesting insight, (to me!). Water people often feel water "needs to be mainstreamed". But that's exactly the problem. It is! More than 30 UN agencies all with a link to water. None of whom have it as #1 priority. 1/2
