๐ง In his Global Water Funding book, David Lloyd Owen discusses global progress towards fulfilling SDG 6, proposes alternative solutions to lack of funding, and examines the reasons why countries are failing at implementing safe and sustainable water and sanitation for all.
What we covered:

๐ฑ A breath of hope with Success Cases to replicate to set ourselves up to fulfill SDG 6ย

๐ How water is a political good that can serve much broader ambitions than just satisfy the thirst of peopleย
๐ How Denmark can be considered the international benchmark when it comes to water preservation and managementย
