The Center for Studies on Infrastructure and Environmental Solutions at Fundação Getulio Vargas’ Sao Paulo School of Business Administration (FGV EAESP) is holding a webinar titled “Sanitation is health: Evidence and effects on tax reform.” This public event will be livestreamed on FGV’s YouTube channel on June 20, starting at 10 a.m.

The speaker will be Cassio Bessaria, president of the National Association of Graduate Economics Centers (ANPEC) and professor at Paraíba Federal University. The moderator will be Professor Gesner Oliveira, the coordinator of the FGV Center for Studies on Infrastructure and Environmental Solutions.

Around the world, every year more than 2 million people die due to poor sanitary conditions, involving unsafe water for human consumption, inadequate sanitation and poor hygiene. When it comes to sanitation and public health, there is a direct relationship between improvements in infrastructure, increased quality of life and a reduction in water-borne diseases and infant mortality, among other factors. The relationship between these aspects and tax reform-related impacts will be among the subjects discussed in this webinar.
