SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation

Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6), part of the United Nations’ Agenda 2030, aims to ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all. Clean water is essential for health, economic development, and environmental sustainability, yet 2.2 billion people lack access to safe drinking water, and over 4 billion lack proper sanitation.

Access to clean water and sanitation is a basic human right and a key driver of public health and economic progress. Improving water systems leads to:
✅ Lower disease and mortality rates
✅ Better hygiene and sanitation in communities
✅ Increased agricultural and industrial productivity
✅ Preservation of ecosystems and biodiversity

Governments, businesses, and individuals must collaborate to:
💧 Improve water infrastructure and access to sanitation
💧 Reduce water pollution and promote wastewater treatment
💧 Encourage water conservation and sustainable management
💧 Enhance resilience to climate-related water crises
