This raw sewage story is so interesting. This visceral reaction to the realisation that we’re literally swimming in our own shit and a few companies are making money off it. Same happening with CO2 emissions. But somehow doesn’t quite capture the imagination

Interesting to read the #climate angle in this outbreak as we build towards the Forecasting Healthy Futures Global Summit next week in Abu Dhabi @MalariaNoMore #water #SDG #ClimateAction #ClimateEmergency
