About SCARE

SCARE is a global initiative that unites seven partner institutions from various disciplines and countries. They work together to research the link between sanitation and climate change. Here’s an explanation:

  • International Collaboration: The SCARE project involves institutions from various countries, emphasizing its global and cooperative nature.
  • Multi-Disciplinary Approach: The consortium includes experts in environmental science, engineering, public health, and social sciences.
  • Seven Partner Institutions: These seven universities bring diverse perspectives and expertise.
  • Focus on Sanitation and Climate Research: SCARE is conducting in-depth research on how sanitation systems interact with climate change.  We want to understand how to adapt these systems to cope with climate impacts.
  • Goal of Resilient and Sustainable Services: The research aims to develop sanitation services that can withstand climate challenges and remain sustainable, environmentally friendly, economically viable, and socially acceptable.
  • Public Health Protection: SCARE seeks to improve sanitation services to protect public health, by preventing disease spread and reducing exposure to pollutants.
In summary, SCARE is a global partnership of seven diverse institutions.  These universities are working together to conduct critical research on the best way to create effective, sustainable, and climate-resilient sanitation services for the benefit of public health.
