The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) address clean water and sanitation through the inclusion of Goal 6: Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all. This goal specifically aims to ensure access to clean water and sanitation facilities for everyone, while also improving water quality, water-use efficiency, and water resource management.
Under Goal 6, there are several targets set to be achieved by 2030. These targets include achieving universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water for all, ensuring access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for all, improving water quality by reducing pollution and minimizing the release of hazardous chemicals and materials, increasing water-use efficiency and sustainable water management, protecting and restoring water-related ecosystems, and supporting the participation of local communities in water and sanitation management.
To achieve these targets, various strategies are implemented, such as enhancing international cooperation to support developing countries in water and sanitation-related activities, strengthening the participation of women and marginalized groups in decision-making processes, and increasing investment in water infrastructure and sanitation facilities.
Overall, the SDGs recognize the importance of clean water and sanitation for human well-being, health, and sustainable development. By addressing these issues comprehensively, the SDGs aim to ensure that everyone has access to clean water and sanitation, contributing to improved living conditions, reduced waterborne diseases, and the preservation of water resources for future generations.
