The issues are complex but the solutions are out there. Because systems don't work in isolation.
A safer, more resilient healthcare facility needs an interconnected health and water, sanitation and hygiene system.
A district that's strong in the face of climate risks needs a water and sanitation system that is resilient to drought, floods, landslides and water-borne diseases.
A country that lifts its people out of poverty needs to connect the systems for financing health, climate and social justice, with water, sanitation and hygiene.

"We started to develop a new model: one that puts communities first.
We knew that lack of access to healthcare was multidimensional.
There is no single quick fix. In order to sustainably strengthen health systems, we knew we had to develop a model that acknowledges the wider ecosystem."

"Floods and droughts are some of the most tangible – and devastating – consequences of the climate crisis.
It is crucial that societies adapt and that governments prioritize, accelerate, and scale up their response mechanisms in the coming decade."

"We made a lot of strides ... but have a lot of problems with respect to polluting the ocean, the sea and also the water bodies.
These are the areas that require collaborative efforts by all stakeholders especially the districts that are the implementation hands of the SDGs as well as the national development plan at the sub-national level."
