This talkshow event will be a lively televised interview between experts from HR2W, IUCN and ADB, held at SIWI’s World Water Week on Thursday 29th at 9 am in the Talkshow Studio, Level 5.
Developing water infrastructure, whether natural or man-made, is likely to be more sustainable if those people affected by them are included and meaningfully engaged in project design, development and implementation. The human rights-based approach can achieve this through policy that supports non-discrimination, inclusive participation, data transparency, and accountability, but we need to find ways to integrate it into the systems we use, and not just the policy we write. As we know from experience, the principles are simple to understand but require extra effort to achieve.
The Talkshow host (Hajar Yagkoupi) will interview panellists Amanda Loeffen (HR2W), Tanya Huizer (ADB) and Alejandro Iza (IUCN) in this interactive discussion to explore the connection between the right to a healthy environment, and the human rights to water and sanitation in our search for sustainable solutions.
