- Reunión histórica insta a priorizar el agua y el saneamiento para volver a encarrilar los objetivos de salud, clima y economía

YAKARTA, Indonesia, 18 de mayo de 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Más de 350 participantes de 57 países se reunieron hoy en Yakarta para la apertura de la reunión de ministros del sector que generará una priorización urgente del agua y el saneamiento en todo el mundo.

Muyatwa Sitali, SWA Head of Country Engagement and Lucinda O’Hanlon, SWA Head of Policy and Strategy welcome 350 participants to the 2022 Sector Ministers' Meeting on water and sanitation in Jakarta, Indonesia (PRNewsfoto/Sanitation and Water for All

Entre ellos se encontraban 50 ministros de agua, saneamiento, salud, medio ambiente y economía, que se reunieron para discutir la pandemia de la COVID-19, la crisis climática y una economía global en apuros, que han amenazado décadas de progreso en el desarrollo sostenible. El evento fue organizado por el Gobierno de Indonesia y convocado por la alianza mundial Sanitation and Water for All (SWA) y UNICEF, organizada por Naciones Unidas.

Durante la apertura del evento, Patrick Moriarty, presidente del Comité Directivo de SWA, indicó a los participantes que esta triple crisis está profundamente entrelazada con el agua y el saneamiento, lo que hace que la priorización de estos temas por parte del gobierno sea vital.

"El agua y el saneamiento son indispensables para prevenir emergencias de salud pública, parte integral para apoyar el desarrollo económico e imprescindibles para hacer que las comunidades sean resistentes al cambio climático", comentó.

Según los organizadores del evento, el acceso a agua y jabón generará 45.000 millones de dólares al año y reducirá la propagación de infecciones en una epidemia similar a la de la COVID-19 hasta en un 20%.

Aproximadamente el 74% de todos los desastres naturales entre 2001 y 2018 estuvieron relacionados con el agua y requirieron una acción urgente. El 40% de la población mundial es altamente vulnerable al impacto del cambio climático.

Además, el acceso universal a inodoros con desechos gestionados de manera segura generará 86.000 millones de dólares por año en mayor productividad y costes de salud reducidos.

"El agua y el saneamiento son la base de todo desarrollo sostenible y son fundamentales para ayudar a los niños a sobrevivir y prosperar", afirmó Catherine Russell, directora ejecutiva de UNICEF. "Cuando 300.000 niños todavía mueren cada año por enfermedades relacionadas con el agua insalubre y el saneamiento inadecuado, sabemos que debemos hacer más".

La reunión de ministros del sector equipará a los líderes políticos con la evidencia y las mejores prácticas que necesitan para priorizar las inversiones en agua y saneamiento, lo que a su vez respaldará los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible. También tiene como objetivo transformar la colaboración interministerial a nivel nacional en torno a los derechos humanos al agua y al saneamiento, así como el aprendizaje y la cooperación internacional.

Fue precedido por un proceso preparatorio de seis meses de duración tanto a nivel mundial como nacional, en el que participaron 126 gobiernos y organizaciones.
