World Toilet Day<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

Global warming is one of the world's largest threats ever faced by humanity. The climate crisis is multiplying some extreme phenomena, such as flood, drought and rising sea levels. The consequences of these phenomena have a direct impact on the quality of potable water and sanitation systems. For instance, floodwater - which pollutes wells used for drinking water and spreads human waste into crop fields and communities - can cause deadly diseases.<\/p>\n

World Toilet Day is, since 2013, an official United Nations international observance day. The main goal is to raise awareness and to tackle the global sanitation crisis in order to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal 6, which promises sanitation for everybody by 2030.<\/p>\n
