Participation of SIGMA Foundation in a workshop on WASH and Climate Change

Dated: 12th July 2024
SIGMA Foundation was invited to attend the workshop on “Assessing climate extremes-induced risk for the WASH and Health sectors in India” organised by CEEW and UNICEF on 9th July, 2024 at Silver Oak, India Habitat Centre, New Delhi. This day-long workshop addressing the challenges at the intersection of water, sanitation, hygiene, and climate change in the health sector is a critical endeavor and a major domain of interest for SIGMA. It was an enriching and enlightening experience, and SIGMA is grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of it. The workshop was a platform for robust discussions and knowledge exchange with fellow attendees to develop innovative solutions to the indicator selection and ranking on WASH and climate extremes-induced risk assessment. The sessions were highly informative, with expert speakers presenting the latest research. The workshop also promoted the need for strong policies and advocacy to support WASH and climate change initiatives in collaboration with government agencies, NGOs, and international organizations which is essential to drive meaningful change. SIGMA is inspired by the collective commitment to advancing WASH and climate change agendas and look forward to applying the knowledge gained in upcoming works.
