"In the past 30 years, Nigeria’s major cities have been rapidly urbanising, attracting hordes of people in search of a better life. As a result, there has been a significant increase in the volume of waste generated, which has put city authorities under immense pressure to develop more efficient solid waste management systems, especially in low-income neighbourhoods."

This year's World Water Week provides another opportunity to raise awareness of the water scarcity and quality issues millions of Africans face daily. However, achieving these goals requires policymakers and business leaders across the continent to recognise the built environment's untapped potential. The National Water Policy of countries, sometimes called water resource management or water management, encompasses the policy-making processes and legislation that affect the collection, preparation, use, disposal, and protection of water resources, also covering its usage in the #builtenvironment.

🌊 🌍 Did you know that more than 418 million people in Africa, lack access to drinking water? Africa’s population will continue to grow, and by 2050, it’s estimated that the continent will be home to more than 1.1 billion more people than it is today. This will place a huge demand on the region’s #builtenvironment and its water needs. Before COP27, our Africa Regional Network of Green Building Councils launched the ‘Africa Manifesto for Sustainable Cities and the Built Environment’ which outlines five areas that business owners and policymakers in the region must address to deliver the ‘Africa We Want’ — water is one of the priorities. Read the full manifesto here: https://lnkd.in/eUYUDeJu This World Water Week, we want to raise awareness of the water scarcity and quality issues millions of Africans face daily. Achieving these goals requires policymakers and business leaders across the continent to recognise the built environment's untapped potential. 📸: Daily Maverick | Estelle Ellis: https://lnkd.in/eCwyTQJR #BuildingTheTransition #BridgingBorders #BuildingToCOP #BuildingToCOP29

The commemoration of World Water Week reminds us of the working definition from the 2005 World Water Summit on whether water should be treated as an economic commodity or not. “Water should be treated as a social and cultural good, and not primarily as an economic good” [and] “the right to water clearly falls within the category of guarantees essential for securing an adequate standard of living, particularly since it is one of the most fundamental conditions for survival.” Is it time for a new definition or does this remain relevant?
