Let's make sure Pacific and Asian water partners for development and climate have a strong voice at #COP26 in Glasgow! Let us have your #COP26waterstories so we can showcase them at the AWP @WaterPartnersAU event at the COP26 Water & Climate Pavilion!

Australian Water Partnership@WaterPartnersAU

Do you have a story about water and resilience in the Asia-Pacific? We would love to hear it. Share it with us by tagging #COP26waterstories and @WaterPartnersAU. We'll be sharing these water stories as a Twitter Moment and will showcase them during our session at #COP26.

Sometimes we put sustainable water resource management and water/sanitation/hygiene needs in separate silos. It's really important to see them as a continuum - as SDG6 does. We need to worry about where our water comes from as well as how we access and use it #SDG6 #WASHWorks

A6: So many choices! But I think: preference low-technology, nature-based solutions (which are easy to build and maintain) for wastewater treatment and purification for human and agricultural re-use, and for the environment #WASHWorks @WaterPartnersAU

@mendy_in_wash @devex I agree! A focus on water is so useful because it immediately reveals linkages to other development efforts, but also reduces the focus to key needs in communities which we can understand and plan for.
