UN-Habitat: Improving informal settlements can help address water challenges
Baku, May 21, AZERTAC
Providing decent housing and improving informal settlements for the residents can help address their challenges related to water and basic services, said Anacláudia Rossbach, Executive Director of UN-Habitat, as she addressed the event titled “UN 2026 Water Conference: Urban housing roadmap” held as part of the 13th Session of the World Urban Forum (WUF13).
The Executive Director of UN-Habitat also highlighted several obstacles to achieving this objective, noting that these challenges are being extensively discussed throughout the forum.
“Although most of these challenges are not directly related to the water sector or traditionally discussed in the field of water, this profoundly impacts water security,” she added.
