“This #COP20 is being called the #finance COP. There will be a lot of discussions around the equality of accessing financing."
Will @COP29_AZ acknowledge #wateraction as central to climate resilience? @siwi_water shares what to expect:

.@BristolAirport if you don't have the capacity for fast track, stop selling the tickets! It's really not that difficult. And 25 mins in a "fast track" queue is ... ridiculous!
"People defecating in the open are also using and charging cell phones!" @KVairavamoorthy. Yes! And we keep offering them out latrines and hand pumps. Madness!! Couldn't agree more with Kala's slide. @ihedelft#WaterActionAgenda Symposium
Analysis by @ihedelft of different commitments. Based on data from @SustDev. This is what the #WaterAvtuonAgenda from the 2023 UN conference is based on.
Remember the UN Water conference? Remember all those commitments. Wondered what happened to them? Me too!!! Looking forward to learning a little more at @ihedelft this afternoon. @IRCWASH@sanwatforall
Private finance comes to a strong and well regulated sector. Couldn't agree more with Sr. Leonardo Picciani, Secretary for Environmental Sanitation from Brasil. Private finance isn't a WASH magic money tree - it goes to where it can make a return. #2024FMM@sanwatforall
Sharing experiences on reducing inequalities in water and sanitation. @waterforpeople CEO Mark Duey presenting experiences from Bolivia. Smart and targeted use of subsidy to bring sanitation services to the poor. #2024FMM@sanwatforall
Listening to @DrTedros at our @sanwatforall LAC Finance Minister's Meeting. Water, "Sanitation and Hygiene are *the* most cost effective and impactful health interventions". Yes! Investing in WASH *is* investing in health.
Interesting debate and nice to see more attention given to the broader WASH system. That said, as long as "people served" remains top of funding agencies' monitoring hierarchies, the incentives to duck engaging with wicked political/economic/institutional factors remains huge.

Love this slide. YES we need evidence about HOW to strengthen systems. No we don't need evidence that strong systems are essential for quality services. The first pink bullet! At Osprey/Aguaconsult workshop on next steps for systems strengthening. @AngelaMHuston@Aguaconsult
65 years after the Treaty of Rome, waiting 10 mins while "the Dutch team and locomotive leaves and the German team and loco join" my slow train through Shengenland from the Hague to Berlin. Small blessing .. I don't have to get out and walk across the border! @EU_Commission
