World Toilet Day 2025 Factsheet - We’ll Always Need the Toilet

This page provides the official World Toilet Day 2025 Factsheet, available for download in PDF format. The factsheet presents key data and insights on the global sanitation crisis, highlighting the campaign’s call to safeguard and expand access to safe, climate-resilient sanitation for all. It unpacks the core messages behind this year’s theme — “We’ll Always Need the Toilet” — emphasizing the urgency to strengthen ageing infrastructure, boost investment, protect vulnerable groups, and accelerate progress toward SDG 6.

Through concise evidence and action-oriented guidance, the document outlines how unsafe or absent sanitation deepens inequalities, endangers health, and heightens environmental and climate risks. It also explains why future-ready sanitation systems — inclusive, accessible, low-emission, and resilient to floods, droughts, and climate shocks — are essential to secure a safer, healthier future for billions.
