Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6) centers on ensuring the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all by 2030. This comprehensive goal aims to achieve universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water, as well as adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for everyone, with a special focus on ending open defecation and addressing the needs of women, girls, and those in vulnerable situations. Key objectives also include improving water quality by significantly reducing pollution, eliminating dumping, minimizing the release of hazardous chemicals, halving the proportion of untreated wastewater, and substantially increasing recycling and safe reuse globally. Furthermore, SDG 6 strives to substantially increase water-use efficiency across all sectors, ensure sustainable withdrawals and supply of freshwater to address water scarcity, implement integrated water resources management at all levels, including through transboundary cooperation, and protect and restore water-related ecosystems such as mountains, forests, wetlands, rivers, aquifers, and lakes. The goal also underscores the importance of expanding international cooperation and capacity-building support to developing countries in water and sanitation-related activities and programs, and supporting and strengthening the participation of local communities in improving water and sanitation management.
