Clean Water and Sanitation

Water scarcity affects more than 40 percent of people, an alarming figure that is projected to rise as temperatures do. Although 2.1 billion people have improved water sanitation since 1990, dwindling drinking water supplies are affecting every continent.

More and more countries are experiencing water stress, and increasing drought and desertification is already worsening these trends. By 2050, it is projected that at least one in four people will suffer recurring water shortages. Safe and affordable drinking water for all by 2030 requires we invest in adequate infrastructure, provide sanitation facilities, and encourage hygiene. Protecting and restoring water-related ecosystems is essential.

Ensuring universal safe and affordable drinking water involves reaching over 800 million people who lack basic services and improving accessibility and safety of services for over two billion.

In 2015, 4.5 billion people lacked safely managed sanitation services (with adequately disposed or treated excreta) and 2.3 billion lacked even basic sanitation.

What we will cover

1. Provide an overview of clean water and sanitation worldwide today.

2. Understand the importance of providing clean water and sanitation worldwide.

3. Share examples of existing solutions that is already contributing towards the goal.

4. Consider what barriers and regulations may be hindering the achievement of this goal.

5. Understand the goals targets by 2030 to provide clean water and sanitation.

6. Think about who we need to influence to give the SDGs greater prominence.
