Schools are more than places to learn—they shape a child’s future. Yet, for millions of children worldwide, this critical environment is undermined by something as simple as access to a basic toilet. Globally, 427m children go to school each day without a toilet that they can use. Unfortunately, the issue is not only whether schools have toilets. The reality is that 205m children attend schools where toilets exist but are unusable—these toilets are lost to neglect and children suffer as a result. This is a hidden phenomenon known as “Toilet Loss”, and it is happening in schools all over the world. The second year of this research programme, covering 65% of the world’s school-aged children, reveals that 14% of school toilets that exist today have fallen […]

CALL FOR PAPERS till the 30th of September: Extreme weather events like severe droughts and floods are increasingly affecting the world, underscoring the urgent need of addressing the effects of climate change. This global crisis poses significant threats to both to water and food security, particularly as temperatures rise and agriculture's demand for water intensifies. Rivers are drying up, aquifers are not recharging adequately, and coastal areas are experiencing higher salinity and rising sea levels, putting immense pressure on the global water management systems. Farmers struggle to maintain their crops, while city residents worry about the stability of their food supply. It is with great pleasure that we invite you to the International Conference: Water and Food Security in the Face of Climate Change: Challenges and […]
Our title for the forthcoming online conference is Water and Climate Resilience, recognising that the world faces a future that is uncertain as we face the global challenge of reducing the impact the changing climate has on the water sector.
