Towards a Sustainable Water Future

Water, being at the core of sustainable development, is strongly connected to all Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs). Meeting SDG6, viz. ‘Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all’, will help accelerate the implementation of the other goals on health, food security, poverty, climate action and economic growth. Drawing focus to this important goal, a recent conference brought together over 700 participants, including natural scientists, social scientists, technologists, civil society and policymakers in the SGD implementation process to develop knowledge-toconcrete actions and innovative solutions for a sustainable water future.
