We are pleased to open the Call for Abstracts for the Water, WASH and Climate virtual symposium. Abstracts are invited for "Story Hosts" – water and WASH professionals interested in sharing their experiences relating to water management, WASH and climate change during a dedicated session: 'This is Water, WASH and Climate: Stories from Practice'.

The "stories" are an opportunity to discuss your recent work – new projects, policies, or emerging situations – with the aid of audio-visuals such as photos, videos, and verbal presentations.
