Climate Change and the human rights to water and sanitation
Organized by Special Rapporteur on the human rights to safe drinking water and sanitation, Mr. Pedro Arrojo Agudo
Together with the Permanent Mission of Spain, the Permanent Mission of Germany,
UNESCO-IHP, UNEP , UN-Water and Special Rapporteur on human rights and the environment, Mr. David Boyd
The water and sanitation sector is in need of new ideas on how to raise awareness that access to water
and sanitation are human rights. Youth, with their creativity and different ways of thinking and
expressing, can contribute to bringing innovation to this sector and advancing a much needed
paradigm shift from the traditional focus on infrastructure, technology and finance to one with people
at the centre.
