“…Vulnerable populations are also disproportionately impacted by disasters such as climate-related events, meaning that the occurrence of the sanitation-poverty cycle in low-income areas is more acute in the face of 'shocks'. During rainy seasons, floods strongly affect favelas by spreading diseases more easily, for example, where sanitary effluents are informally discharged into stormwater drainage systems and cause combined sewer overflow (Reda, Ferreira, Mendes, & Beck, 2014). Larrea-Killinger (2001) discusses how this occurs in Salvador where septic tanks are a common sanitation infrastructure in favelas.…”

This paper identifies opportunities from targeted and integrated sanitation action to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This is contextualised to the case of Brazil through a systematic approach applied to the sanitation sector that considers the range of infrastructure, management services and people involved in different phases of the service chain, from municipal wastewater containment to safe disposal or re-use. Articulating the social, economic and environmental dimensions of sanitation, this study analyses their links with each of the 169 SDG targets. We demonstrate that 87 targets across 16 goals require action in Brazil's sanitation sector to achieve the SDGs. Furthermore, we identify synergies between sanitation and 124 targets in four domains: basic services for resilience building, equity and
