Tremolit, är ett icke ovanligt hydroxidhaltigt kalcium- och magnesium-silikat. Den är en amfibol och uppträder ofta som långsmala kristaller i metamorfa bergarter.

Etymologi och historia
Tremolit upptäcktes första gången i Campolungo i Val Piumogna i kantonen Ticino i Schweiz.
Mineralet beskrevs år 1790 av Johann Georg Albrecht Höpfer men angav felaktigt Val Tremola som Typlokal och gav mineralet namnet tremolit.

Val Tremola ligger cirka 1,5 mil nordväst om Campolungo. Val Tremola ligger i ett annat geologiskt område med lägre metamorforsgrad och har därmed lägre sannolikhet för bildning av tremolit.

Kemisk sammansättning
Tremolit bildar en serie med aktinolit och ferroaktinolit.
Den kemiska formeln för de tre ovannämnda mineralen är:
tremolit ☐Ca2(Mg5,0-4,5Fe2+0,0-0,5)Si8O22(OH)2
aktinolit ☐Ca2(Mg4,5-2,5Fe2+0,5-2,5)Si8O22(OH)2
ferroaktinolit ☐Ca2Fe2+5Si8O22(OH)2
Tremolit kan nominellt innehålla en smärre mängd järn (Fe2+) i stället för magnesium, Som formeln visar kan halten järn vara upp till antalet 0,5 om samtidigt antalet magnesiumatomer sänks från 5 till 4,5. Normalt sätts en gräns mellan två ändled vid halva atomantalet. Så kan ferroaktinolitens 5 järnatomer minskas till 2,5 om det samtidigt tillkommer 2,5 atomer magnesium. Men tremolit är ett viktigt mineral vid bestämning av metamorfa zoner och dess ljusa färg är värdefull vid fältarbeten. Därför finns det en avgränsning mot aktinolit. Mineralen kan även innehålla vakanser i stället för metallerna. En vakans visas i den kemiska formeln med en fyrkant, ☐. Vidare kan fluor eller klor ingå på platsen för OH.

Egenskaper
Tremolit utgörs av blekt grågröna till vita långsmala, prismatiska kristaller eller nålformiga till finstängliga aggregat. Den gröna färgen djupnar ju mer järn mineralet innehåller. Streckfärgen är dock alltid vit. Tremolit tillhör de medelhårda mineralen med en hårdhet av 5 till 6 på mohs skala. Tremolit har god spaltning och känns igen på amfibolers vinklar, 56 och 124 grader. Tremolit liknar wollastonit
Vissa tremoliter svarar på ultraviolett ljus med fluorescens. Responsen kan vara röd till skär under långvåg och gul till vit, grön till vit eller blå till vit under kortvågsljus,.

Varieteter
Tremolit kan uppräda i ytterst finfibrig form och utgör då en av de sex olika mineral som kan bilda asbest.
Hexagonit är en skär manganhaltig varietet av tremolit.
Smyckestenen jade är en finfibrig filtad och seg varietet av antingen av pyroxenmineralet jadeit eller av nefrit. Det senare är en benämning på mineral med sammansättning mellan tremolit och aktinolit.

Förekomst
Tremolit förekommer på många ställen, bland annat i Lombardiet, Piemont, Tjeckien, USA och Afghanistan. Det uppträder ofta i malmskarn i metamorfa bergarter, främst dolomiter och talkiga skiffrar. Det är även ett vanligt mineral i skarnet till många gruvor, främst i Bergslagen.

Användning
Tremolit kan användas till syrabeständiga filter.

Mineraltermometer
Forskare, särskilt petrologer, använder tremolit som en indikator på temperatur. Under inverkan av mycket hög temperatur blir detta mineral instabilt och förvandlas till diopsid. Således visar närvaron av tremolit och frånvaron av diopsid i provet att bergarten från vilket provet hämtats inte har varit utsatt för stark uppvärmning.

Predicting and describing galaxy evolution
The dark Universe is filled with shining galaxies. Galaxies shine in virtue of their stellar content and the emitted radiation reaches us from the most remote regions of the Universe. Stellar radiation can be modelled following robust physical principles, the light emitted by galaxies can be used as a probe of structure formation and evolution in the Universe and as a cosmic chronometer.
A galaxy contains million to billion stars. The total energetics emission of a galaxy is the sum of the light from all stars, which in turn depend at first on stellar energetics, lifetimes and the stellar initial mass function. It also depends on parameters that are specific of the different galaxies, such as history of star formation, chemical composition and dust content.
Theoretical spectral energy distribution of a model galaxy half billion years old with solar metallicity. From [1].
Stellar population models rely on the physics of stellar interiors and atmospheres, and analytical prescriptions for the star formation rate, and provide the integrated properties, in particular the Spectral Energy Distribution (SED), of model galaxies as a function of physical parameters, e.g. time, star formation history, chemical composition. Stellar population models are central to analysis in astrophysics and cosmology hence their use is widespread. In particular, they are the key tool for studying Galaxy Formation and Evolution.
ICG researchers Claudia Maraston and Daniel Thomas are world leaders in the field. Their seminal results are:
1. the inclusion of the Thermally-Pulsating Asymptotic Giant Branch stage of stellar evolution [1], that impacts on the interpretation of galaxies especially at high-redshift galaxies [2];
2. the account of non-solar element ratios in the model spectral lines [3,4], which has allowed to understand the formation timescales of elliptical galaxies [5].
Recent results include he calculation and analysis of models at high spectral resolution [6]. The figure shows how well the models fit real stellar populations. These models meet the advancements in new instrumentations and galaxy surveys, such as MaNGA.
High spectral resolution model fit (red) to real stellar populations (black). From [6].
Stellar population models are also a key ingredient of Galaxy Formation and Evolution models. A team led by ICG researcher Claudia Maraston was the first to explore the effect of stellar population models on the properties of galaxy models in a Cold Dark Matter Universe [7,8].
Effect of input stellar population model on the comparison between galaxy data (black points) and galaxy evolution models (red points). The models by Maraston (2005, left-hand panel) allow for a better match between real distant galaxies and galaxy evolution models. From [7].

It's a long way from Harrison, Tennessee, to Russia, and the distance isn't measured simply in miles. For Melissa Caldwell, the gulf between start and finish would have been way too wide without some help.
Caldwell (Knoxville '91) is a college professor and author of two books on Russia. She spends several months a year in the country that has fascinated her since she was a teen. But family financial problems nearly stopped Caldwell's career before it began.
Specifically, she wanted to study the Soviet Union, as Russia and 14 other soviet socialist republics were then called. She had spent a summer living with the family of a Finnish pen pal on Finland's border with Russia and had attended the Governor's School for International Studies. She began studying Russian in her first term at UT Knoxville and developed an intense interest in anthropology.
But her dad was laid off from his job, and Caldwell's dreams slammed head-on into a financial roadblock. The UT alumni association came to her rescue with scholarships, and Caldwell's career plans proceeded full steam: she earned a bachelor's degree at UT Knoxville, a master's from Indiana University, and a Ph.D. at Harvard. For her Ph.D. studies, she lived in Russia for a year. She stayed at Harvard to teach for 3 years and now is an associate professor of anthropology at the University of California–Santa Cruz.
Education opened up the world to her, she says. "None of the things I've accomplished would have been possible without the training and support I received at UT. My professors at UT taught me how to write and think critically, to look at the world objectively, and to embrace diversity of ideas and experiences.
Math gave Amy Hicks nightmares. Nevertheless, after she graduated from Bradley Central High in Cleveland, Tennessee, her parents made it clear she would go to college.
Hicks chose UT Chattanooga, where she majored in psychology.
Receiving a bachelor's degree was a personal triumph. With that accomplishment under her belt, she returned to UTC to work toward a master's.
"I will never forget taking out the catalog and crying when I saw the math courses I would have to take," she recalls. Her husband, also a UTC alumnus, was "the encourager," and Hicks earned a master's degree in community counseling.
"I am now an elementary-school counselor, and I share my story every year with the children," she says. "I am one-hundred-percent honest and tell them how much I struggled with math, how I had a tutor, how I wanted to quit, and how I never made better than a C.
"I use this to help them see how wonderful college was and how things are not always easy. There were wonderful people along the way–my family, my husband, and the staff and students at UTC, who always encouraged me.
"I now love my life and my career. It is a dream come true. I am able to work and help others. I also have recently written a children's book and have established a pet-therapy program using my dogs in counseling.
Writing in an op-ed column that was published in the Nashville Tennessean, the dean of DeVry University in Nashville told how her mother inspired her to succeed.
"My mother dreamed big dreams. All of them were for me.
"Even though she raised me on a dime and never went to college, she believed I would one day earn my doctoral degree. Yes, we were poor. But we did not live in poverty. Poverty is not just the lack of money, the lack of education, or even the lack of both. Poverty is rooted in the depths of generations without hope. It is a way of thinking, a way of living, a way of dying.

"We have reached a threshold in human history, today. From now on morality must either be all-inclusive or it becomes immoral. In our world there is no more room for outsiders. And our sense of belonging must include not only humans, but animals, plants, and all the inanimate furniture of our Earth Household. Nothing will do any more, but the widest possible horizon of belonging. "That is why we see two momentous moral changes happening in our time. All precept structures based on exclusiveness are breaking down, belonging to the past. A new appreciation for precepts based on a universal sense of belonging is fast gaining ground, belonging to the future. Of all our religious precepts only those will survive which are the expression of limitless belonging, but those will indeed survive. They will be shaping the future if there is to be a future.

Ryan Gosling Meets on 'Houdini,' 'Doctor Strange': Will He Finally Take on a Big Franchise?
Ryan Gosling may finally be ready to take on a big studio franchise.
The actor has in the past resisted joining superhero-style tentpole movies, especially those that would require him to appear in sequels. But now there are signs that Gosling might be softening his stance.
In recent weeks, the 33-year-old actor has met with Marvel Studios to discuss starring in the title role in Doctor Strange, and he is fielding an offer to topline Summit's adaptation of The Secret Life of Houdini: The Making of America's First Superhero. Sources also say he is being courted to star in Suicide Squad, David Ayer's take on the DC Comics supervillain team at Warner Bros.
Marvel has been casting a wide net for Strange ever since talks with Joaquin Phoenix broke down. Sources say that Jared Leto and Justin Theroux have been chasing the role, while Ethan Hawke's name also has surfaced as has Keanu Reeves'.
It is unclear when the movie would go into production, but Marvel has staked out a July 8, 2016, release date.
Houdini, with Dean Parisot attached to direct, was to have starred Johnny Depp, but the actor will be filming a new installment of Pirates of the Caribbean for almost half of 2015. Summit ideally would like to get going before that.
Ayer's Suicide Squad is still in early development and the script is being worked on. But that is not stopping the filmmaker and the studio from making overtures for what is to be an A-list ensemble piece filled with colorful antiheroes. Sources say that Will Smith, Margot Robbie and Tom Hardy also are fielding offers. Warners had no comment.
Now, there is no guarantee that Gosling will spark to any of these projects. The actor has been perfectly content making more modest movies such as The Place Beyond the Pines or focusing his attention on directing. Even when he does a studio movie it's not the usual fare, instead opting for projects such as Crazy, Stupid, Love and Gangster Squad — both for Warner Bros. — for which the chances of sequels are small. Even now, he is in preproduction on The Nice Guys, a 1970s-set noir co-written and being directed by Shane Black, and sources say he and co-star Russell Crowe took pay cuts from their usual fees.
Unlike most other actors in his age group, Gosling can be especially choosy. He has said no to superhero fare before due to his desire not to be tied down to future movies. For instance, Gosling was keen on taking the role of Hal Jordan in Green Lantern, but balked at a contract that called for sequels, so Ryan Reynolds got the part and the movie flopped.
Gosling did attach himself at one point to a Logan's Run remake, but that was only because it was going be directed by his Drive helmer Nicolas Winding Refn and he felt comfortable with the Danish director and believed in the vision. Whether sequels were ever envisioned is unclear since both ended up moving off of the project.
Still, some producers and agents aren't entirely convinced we're seeing a new Gosling. "I'll believe it when I see it," jokes one producer.

Get Up One Hour Earlier Without Hating Life
16 Evening Habits That Make Everything Better
K. Aleisha Fetters
Illustrated By Elliot Salazar.
From "set your alarm on the other side of the room" to "invest in a coffee pot with a timer," you've probably heard a million don't-hit-snooze tips before. But, unless you're a true morning person, getting up even one hour earlier than usual can feel impossible. That's largely because early birds and night owls (what is it with birds and circadian clocks, anyway?) have inherently different time settings, says Michael Terman, PhD, professor of clinical psychology at Columbia University and co-author of Reset Your Inner Clock. A clump of neurons located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) region of your brain's hypothalamus functions as your body's timepiece, telling it when to be awake or asleep. And, while your default settings are believed to be largely genetic, you can reset them with a little effort — which is far easier than going through life on a half-empty sleep tank.
So, if you are trying to wake up earlier without making your entire day miserable, you need to move your get-to-bed and wake-up times by 15-minute increments, says Stephanie Silberman, PhD, a fellow of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and author of The Insomnia Workbook. Most people forget that to wake up earlier, you also need to go to bed earlier. It's about shifting your circadian clock, not learning to manage on less sleep.
How long it will take you to adjust to each 15-minute tweak largely depends on your individual circadian clock and how flexible it is. FYI, night owls are actually better at adapting to sleep changes, says W. Christopher Winter, MD, medical director at Martha Jefferson Hospital Sleep Medicine Center. Dr. Winter works with professional sports teams to optimize their sleep performance.
It's important to remember, though, that no matter your body's settings — or the time you wake up — it's completely normal to hate life for the first 20 minutes to half hour after prying open your sleep-crusted eyes. Researchers call that period of time the "sleep lag," says Dr. Silberman. Basically, it's the time in which your body goes, Ugh, okay, I guess I really should be awake. So, if you curse the world when your alarm goes off, it doesn't necessarily mean your bright-eyed-and-bushy-tailed efforts have failed you.
Ready to become a morning person? Since your circadian clock is largely set by exposure to light, body temperature, exercise, and food, the following science-backed tips will help you log quality sleep while adjusting to those 15-minute-increment shifts to earlier sleeping and waking times. Your better morning awaits.
Turn off your gadgets at least two hours before bed.
Per the National Sleep Foundation's "Sleep in America" poll, an overwhelming amount of Americans spend time on their electronics within an hour of bedtime, multiple times per week. Tsk tsk. Within two hours of bedtime, your SCN sends a signal to the pineal gland to begin producing melatonin, the hormone that helps control your sleep-wake cycle, Dr. Terman says. And, research published in Applied Ergonomics shows that just two hours of exposure to a bright tablet screen at night can suppress the body's melatonin levels by about 22%.
Cut out blue light.
If you are going to have your computer open, try using the f.lux software, Dr. Terman advises. It tracks the cycle of the sun in your time zone and latitude, and then adjusts your gadget's levels of blue light to match. Or, you could dim your device. A recent Mayo Clinic study found that dimming the brightness to about 50% keeps blue light low enough to not interfere with sleep. But, digital gadgets aren't the only culprits; to avoid blue light from your lamps, switch to bulbs that have a low color temperature, Dr. Terman says. Look for 2700 Kelvin bulbs; the rating will be printed right on them.
Keep your curtains closed at night.
Most people assume letting the morning light gradually wake you up is a good thing, but Winter actually advises waking up in the dark — and then opening the curtains. "Your hormone levels make a more dramatic jump to jolt you awake" that way, he says. "The room should go from pitch black at 5:59 a.m. to bright light at 6."
Soak up light in the a.m.
That said, you want to soak up as much bright light as you can first thing in the morning, to convince your clock it's time to get up and at 'em. Go outside for a few minutes, or if it's dreary out, try a light-therapy box, Dr. Winter says. "Properly timed exposure to bright light after awakening has a pervasive effect across 24 hours and can improve sleep onset on the nights that follow," adds Dr. Terman.
Take a bath before bed.
This trick is not just to relax. You want to try raising your core body temperature — so that it can plummet when you get out of the tub. The body's temperature naturally falls come sleepytime, so by exaggerating that temperature change you may sleep more easily, Dr. Winter says. Try taking a hot (like, as hot as you can stand) bath for 15-plus minutes and then get into light PJs.
Keep your bed cold.
Air temperatures between 60 and 67 degrees are best for sleeping, and cooler body temperatures lead to deeper sleep, Dr. Winter says. Feel like you're sleeping in a hot box? Consider investing in sheets and/or a mattress cover that are designed to keep you cool.
Wear socks to bed.
When you're about to fall asleep, your body redirects blood flow to the hands and feet. When those extremities are warm (like when you're wearing socks) their blood vessels dilate to help your body temperature drop more quickly, per Swiss research.
Warm up at wake-up time.
Since you sleep so well in cool temps, either setting your A/C to shut off near wake time or even getting in a few quick warm-up exercises in the morning can help raise your body temperature, Dr. Winter says.
Exercise at the same time every day.
People who regularly exercise sleep better, but if you exercise at the same time every day, you get even more benefits, Dr. Winter says. Your circadian clock uses clues such as when you exercise to determine when you should go to bed and wake up. It thinks, Okay, we're exercising now, and we go to bed X-number of hours after working out, so let's get ready.
And, do it at least a few hours before bed.
Depending on how hard you hit the gym/streets/court/track/studio, you probably shouldn't move straight from there into the bedroom. When your adrenaline levels, heart rate, and body temp are high, it can be difficult to fall asleep. Give yourself a few hours before bed so those levels can fall, says Dr. Silberman. Most people, though, sleep better when they've exercised, even if it was at night, according to one Journal of Sleep Research study.
Crank up the intensity.
A National Sleep Foundation poll found that people sleep the best on days they exercise vigorously. One possible reason: Intense exercise is believed to cause the muscles to release two cytokines that may trigger drowsiness and help people sleep more soundly.
Chow down as soon as you wake up.
Humans have evolved to switch their day-night cycles according to when they eat, suggests research from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Bonus: Eating breakfast fires up your metabolism, and the earlier you get it humming along, the better.
Eat at the same time every day.
Just like with exercise, your body remembers how many hours there are between dinner and bed, Dr. Winter says. It doesn't really matter the number, as long as you keep it consistent.
Boycott big meals before bed.
Eating too much too close to bedtime raises your body temperature, which can interfere with sleep, Dr. Winter says. It's okay to munch before bed, just don't make it a huge meal that brings on the meat sweats.
Talk to your doc about melatonin.
There are a lot of ways to manipulate the levels of the sleep hormone melatonin in your body. The easiest is by taking a little melatonin tablet when you're winding down for bed. However, it's only intended for short-term use to adjust your circadian clock, not to help you drift off every night, Dr. Winter says. As always, consult your physician before you pop any pills — natural or otherwise.
Make your late-night snack carb-rich.
Research published in the journal Cell Reports found that in mice, eating a carbohydrate-rich snack in the evening helped reset the body's internal clock. Why carbs? Insulin affects the body's sleep-regulating gene PER2, and since carbs boost insulin secretion, they also help regulate your cycles — so you're drowsy when you should be. Try cereal with milk (this combo is high in carbs and tryptophan, which converts to serotonin and melatonin in the brain), or cherries (which contain both carbs and melatonin), Dr. Winter says.

I just finished reading this book. I think as I feel more and more like an expectant mother, I am slowly getting ready to switch from reading books about adoption to reading less technical books about parenting adopted children, or adoption stories.
Twenty Things Adopted Kids Wish Their Adoptive Parents Knew was written by an adult adoptee. Most books about adoption are written by adoptive parents, so it's nice to have the different perspective.
This said, this book scared me at first. It almost makes it sound like every adopted child is a problem child with difficult, unresolved (and almost unresolvable) emotional scars.
It may just be that everything seems scarier when you're facing the unknown.... In the end, the book is really about compassion.
It aims at making adoptive parents realize what type of emotional challenges their children may be facing. I never thought that birthdays could be sweet and sour for my kid, as it may remind him of the fact that he doesn't know his birth family. I also never realized that not knowing your medical background can be a big deal at certain times in your life. The book also points out that there is a good chance our children will think often about their other family, and may not talk about it at all in fear of hurting us.
Once I got past the fear that raising an adopted child would be way different from raising a birth child (which I don't think it is), I started seeing the value in knowing about all of this. The whole idea is that, if you're aware of these challenges, you can support your child just by showing her that you understand.
You can, for an example, start the conversation about the birth family. Maybe have a Birthmother's day, on the day before Mother's day (and a Birthfather's day as well). You can dedicate the morning of your child's birthday to some quiet, intimate time where the story of his adoption will be the center of attention. You can say things like: " It must be upsetting to not have the answers to this medical questionnaire".
None of this is very difficult to do. But you need to know and understand what your child is feeling before you can show compassion.
All in all, this is a valuable read for waiting parents. Just keep in mind that some of the cases depicted in the book are there to show what can go wrong if you don't try to understand your child. If you are sensitive to the issues described, chances are things will go smoothly for your family!
I have the book from a seminar I attended but haven't read it yet. Reading what you have written I want to pull it out and start it. I have tried several times to get into the book about parenting an internationally adopted child but I don't think am in the right place in my journey. Thanks for posting about it.
I know exactly what you mean... I knew it was available at the public library months ago, but only felt called to read it now. I would say wait until you feel ready.
You've sold me...I'm going to go out and find this book now! It sounds like a good read. I came across this blog a while ago https://adoptingmorethanme.wordpress.com/. It is written by an adoptee, I believe she is even from Alberta. Like you said, its nice to read about international adoption from a different perspective. Take care.
Have a look at our agency, they might have a copy of this book... I never looked, I just borrowed it at my public library.
I'll have a look at the blog you recommend..

Press Release: Billions of People Will Lack Access to Safe Water, Sanitation and Hygiene in 2030 Unless Progress Quadruples – Warn WHO, UNICEF
Latest estimates reveal that 3 in 10 people worldwide could not wash their hands with soap and water at home during the COVID-19 pandemic
Billions of people around the world will be unable to access safely managed household drinking water, sanitation and hygiene services in 2030 unless the rate of progress quadruples, according to a new report from WHO and UNICEF
The Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP) report – Progress on household drinking water, sanitation and hygiene 2000 – 2020 – presents estimates on household access to safely managed drinking water, sanitation and hygiene services over the past five years, and assesses progress toward achieving the sixth sustainable development goal (SDG) to 'Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all by 2030'. For the first time, the report also presents emerging national data on menstrual health.
In 2020, around 1 in 4 people lacked safely managed drinking water in their homes and nearly half the world's population lacked safely managed sanitation. COVID-19 has highlighted the urgent need to ensure everyone can access good hand hygiene. At the onset of the pandemic, 3 in 10 people worldwide could not wash their hands with soap and water within their homes.
"Handwashing is one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and other infectious diseases, yet millions of people across the world lack access to a reliable, safe supply of water," said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General. "Investment in water, sanitation and hygiene must be a global priority if we are to end this pandemic and build more resilient health systems."
Some progress reported, but not enough
The report notes some progress towards achieving universal access to basic water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services. Between 2016 and 2020, the global population with safely managed drinking water at home increased from 70 per cent to 74 per cent; safely managed sanitation services grew from 47 per cent to 54 per cent; and handwashing facilities with soap and water increased from 67 per cent to 71 per cent.
In 2020, for the first time, more people used improved on-site sanitation, such as pit latrines and septic tanks, which can effectively contain and treat waste, rather than sewer connections. There is need for governments to ensure adequate support for safely managed on-site sanitation, including faecal sludge management.
Urgent need for investment
The report makes clear that, if current trends persist, billions of children and families will be left without critical, life-saving WASH services, stating that by 2030:
Only 81 per cent of the world's population will have access to safe drinking water at home, leaving 1.6 billion without;
Only 67 per cent will have safe sanitation services, leaving 2.8 billion without;
And only 78 per cent will have basic handwashing facilities, leaving 1.9 billion without.
The report also notes vast inequalities with vulnerable children and families suffering the most. To achieve universal access to safely managed drinking water by 2030, the current rate of progress in the Least Developed Countries would need to increase ten-fold. In fragile contexts, where people were twice as likely to lack safe drinking water, it would need to accelerate by a factor of 23.
"Even before the pandemic, millions of children and families were suffering without clean water, safe sanitation, and a place to wash their hands," said UNICEF Executive Director Henrietta Fore. "Despite our impressive progress to date to scale-up these lifesaving services, the alarming and growing needs continue to outstrip our ability to respond. The time has come to dramatically accelerate our efforts to provide every child and family with the most basic needs for their health and well-being, including fighting off infectious diseases like COVID-19."
Other key findings from the report include:
Eight out of 10 people without basic water services lived in rural areas. Meanwhile, safely managed sanitation services reached 62 per cent of the world's urban population, but only 44 per cent of its rural population.
Sub-Saharan Africa is experiencing the slowest rate of progress in the world. Only 54 per cent of people used safe drinking water, and only 25 per cent in fragile contexts.
Emerging data on menstrual health show that, in many countries, a significant proportion of women and girls are unable to meet menstrual health needs, with significant disparities in particular among vulnerable groups, such as the poor and those with disabilities.
Accelerating WASH coverage will require prioritization at the highest levels of decision making by international agencies, governments, civil society and the private sector. For this to happen, WASH must be a regular fixture on the agenda at high-level political meetings to ensure member states keep track of progress. This is important in the context of the forthcoming mid-term review of the Water Action Decade in 2023 – the first UN conference on water and sanitation in almost 50 years.
