Sustainability Research Award

Awarded to the researcher/s whose contribution to the environment and/or society at 皇家华人, or beyond, has the greatest positive impact.

Winner

Priti has championed the role of infrastructure to address Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) over the last five years. She led a UCL team which demonstrated the links between sanitation and energy, climate change, health, education and poverty reduction, making a case for targeted action in sanitation. Until that point the linkages between water and the SDGs had been mapped but the role of sanitation had received very little attention. Priti has also led efforts to influence policy and practice, with her and her team鈥檚 work influencing the African Sanitation Strategy, and how SDGs are monitored in South Africa.
