Safe drinking #water is a basic human right. But how many actually have it? In a new study with @EawagResearch, we estimate that over 4 billion people lack safe #drinkingwater – more than 2x higher than previous estimates.

Congrats Isabel for this work done under the tough conditions of the pandemic. Thank you to our amazing fieldwork team at Uni Husanuddin for creatively & safely collecting this data. Our gratitude, always, is to the 323 women who spoke to us about their daily life challenges 💜

[🏳️‍🌈Becky Batagol🏳️‍⚧️ @BeckyBatagol]

The upshot
Our results find a larger association between depression & joint resource insecurity than with water or food insecurity alone, underlining the importance of addressing food & water insecurity together, particularly as they relate to women’s mental health/well-being

I'm SO EXCITED to reveal a magazine feature I've been working on for months (and thinking about for years):

It's about the myths of progress in America, and about how we—in politics, policy, and the media—overrate invention and underrate implementation.

Sad to hear that in the midst of an escalating Ebola outbreak in Uganda, clinics are short-staffed, lack PPE, and health-workers aren't adequately protected or paid.

I just get tired...Tired of hearing that 1.5°C is a "target" or "goal". IT IS NOT. It is a limit. The only real goal is 0°C. And not bad 1.5°C, when we LIKELY tip GIS, WAIS, Tropical Coral Reefs and Abrupt Boreal Permafrost, and get more floods, droughts, heat, disease, storms.
