Background 1: SDGs
Goal 6. By 2030, achieve universal andequitable access to safe and affordable
drinking water for all
6.2

By 2030, achieve access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for alland end open defecation, paying special attention to the needs of women and girlsand those in vulnerable situations

6.3

By 2030, improve water quality by reducing pollution, eliminating dumping andminimizing release of hazardous chemicals and materials, halving the proportion of
untreated wastewater and substantially increasing recycling and safe reuse globally

6.a

By 2030, expand international cooperation and capacity-building support todeveloping countries in water- and sanitation-related activities and programmes,
including water harvesting, desalination, water efficiency, wastewater treatment,
recycling and reuse technologies
