Climate change is intensifying the pressure on already fragile water and sanitation systems. By combining climate-smart infrastructure (like flood-resilient toilets) with innovative financing mechanisms, FINISH Mondial and partners are helping communities build lasting resilience.
World Water Week 2025 is a chance to learn, share, and co-create solutions that can be implemented at scale.
