Soliarité Eau was created on the initiative of the French government in 1981. It is a non-profit-making association centred on ensuring access to drinking water and sanitation for everyone.
Its main objective is to increase and improve action to promote access to water and sanitation in developing countries.
Water and sanitation services are particularly vulnerable in the face of climate change. They are indeed dependent on the availability and the quality of water resources, which are themselves strongly impacted by climate change. In addition, climate hazards have consequences that can directly alter services and their viability over time. In this context, the guidebook, will be launched by pS-Eau at the COP24 aims at providing tools to better understand the impacts of climate change on water and sanitation services and at offering operational guidelines for adaptation of services in developing countries and mitigation. It integrates wider
guidelines in link with other essential services such as water resource and rainwater management.
