Room 12 EXPO

The session will bring together key stakeholders of the different groups able to accelerate action: governments, multilateral organizations, UN system and MGoS. The Bonn Key Messages and Recommendations and their development during the Water Dialogues will be briefly presented and outlined how they fit into the Dakar Declaration. A discussion will allow to exchange on the necessary changes to implement cross-sectoral action and engage with other sectors, and to identify priority fields of action up to 2023 and 2030.

The session is designed as a space for exchange between participants on the impacts of climate change on sanitation systems and the contribution of the sub-sector to GHG emissions. It will also be an opportunity to share with stakeholders the Senegalese standard NS-017-074 on non-collective sanitation facilities.
The first step will be to present the subject and the issues it covers, then to discuss climate change and its effects on sanitation systems and its consideration in sanitation projects, while encouraging discussions among participants and contributions from the floor.
