Climate Change & Environment
The climate crisis is both a water crisis and one which will lead to an increase in disease outbreaks. Increases in frequency and severity of droughts, floods, and heatwaves have an immediate impact on WASH infrastructure and services. Oxfam’s guidance includes resources on WASH programming adaptations.
Meanwhile, Oxfam aims to protect natural resources and the environment by assessing the short, medium, and long-term impacts using sound scientific assessment and analytical methodologies to guide programme design and implementation, applying mitigation measures, adopting appropriate technologies, and monitoring the impacts.
