The event began with an opening panel by Mr. Frank Reiner, representing the World Chlorine Council. The presence of Dr. Camila Gramkow, on behalf of Dr. Silvia L. Saravia Matus, the Economic Affairs Officer in charge of Water Affairs at ECLAC, contributed to the event's theme with a presentation on the current water situation in the region. Her contribution was essential in enriching the conversation and shedding light on the challenges and opportunities in the field of sanitation. In addition to providing an overview of sanitation, she also highlighted the intrinsic connection of sanitation to economic, social, and environmental development. This session included examples of best practices and strategies promoted by ECLAC in various contexts and countries, making it a valuable source of insights, especially for countries aiming for universal sanitation.
This event not only focused on presentations but also provided a conducive environment for networking. This allowed for an enriching exchange of experiences, perspectives, and up-to-date data among the panelists and participants. The WCC Clorosur Water Forum 2023 proved to be an important platform for discussing sanitation and its interconnection with economic, social, and environmental development. This event not only emphasized the importance of sanitation but also strengthened international collaboration in the pursuit of a cleaner and healthier future.
