摘要

2019冠状病毒病大流行和国际社会对乔治·弗洛伊德之死的反应，为本世纪20年代笼罩我们世界的“难以忽视的真相”大厦锦上添花。“难以忽视的真相”一词作为美国前副总统阿尔·戈尔在2006年制作的一部电影和演讲的标题而广泛曝光。这部电影的目的是教育公众(以及我们掌权的代表)关于全球气候变化的真相。不愿面对的真相似乎有三个特点:第一，它们在很大程度上是正确的;其次，他们深感不安;第三，他们似乎无视解决方案，无论简单与否。然而，必须找到解决办法。

Editorial: In a time of COVID-19 and Black Lives Matter

The COVID-19 pandemic and international reactions to the death of George Floyd have added to the edifice of inconvenient truths which tower over our world in the 2020s. The phrase ‘inconvenient truth’ received widespread exposure as the title of a film and presentation made by former US Vice President Al Gore in 2006. The film set out to educate the public (and our representatives in power) about the truths of global climate change. There seem to be three characteristics of inconvenient truths: first, they are largely true; second, they are deeply uncomfortable; and third, they seem to defy solutions, easy or otherwise. And yet, solutions must be found.

期刊介绍： Published since 1982 Waterlines is a refereed journal providing a forum for those involved in extending water supply, sanitation, hygiene and waste management to all in developing countries. Waterlines aims to bridge the gap between research and practice: it encourages papers written by researchers for the benefit of practice and those written by practitioners to inform research and policy. It highlights information sources and promotes debate between different perspectives. Waterlines considers the key challenges facing those in the water and sanitation sector–engineers, health professionals.
