STATEMENT / SUBMITTED BY WATERLEX
In
addition to increasing climate-induced water stress and flood risk, the major threats
for human well-being are in fact due to the decline of water quality; as a
consequence of human activities which are contaminating surface water and
groundwater reservoirs with toxic chemicals and microbial pathogens which are
known to cause gastrointestinal issues such as diarrhea.
Investment in sustainable and adapted sanitation infrastructures not only
contributes to protecting the environment, but also improves the health and the
economy of the populations.

There are strong links between sanitation and stunting, and open defecation can lead to fecal-oral diseases such as diarrhea, which can cause and worsen malnutrition.
Diarrhea is the leading cause of under-five mortality in Ethiopia, accounting for 23 per cent of all under-five deaths – more than 70,000 children a year.
(...) Sanitation promotion, hygiene and Baby WASH, in areas with a high prevalence of stunting and diarrhea, are a significant focus of UNICEF’s work.
