The Global Goals: 6. Clean Water and Sanitation

Let's ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.

The targets of this goal are:

• Achieve universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water for all
• Achieve access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for all and end open defecation
• Improve water quality by reducing pollution, eliminating dumping and minimizing release of hazardous chemicals and materials
• Substantially increase water-use efficiency and ensure sustainable withdrawals and supply of freshwater to address water scarcity
• Protect and restore water-related ecosystems, including mountains, forests, wetlands, rivers, aquifers and lakes
• Expand international cooperation and support to developing countries in water and sanitation related activities, including water harvesting, desalination, water efficiency, wastewater treatment, recycling and reuse technologies
• Support and strengthen the participation of local communities for improving water and sanitation management

Nobody can survive without water, which is why the quote below sticks with me. With something that is vital to living, goal 6 is a very important one.

 

Let's make sure that by 2030 everyone on the planet can access safe water.

Is this your chosen goal to support? How will you promote it?
