SDG 6 Global Issues

1. 2.2 billion people globally do not have access to safe drinking water, and 3.5 billion do not have access to properly managed sanitation.

 

2. Ukraine: millions of people demand water and sanitation services; attacks on water infrastructure have been a persistent issue, affecting the well-being and life of the population, especially in conflict-affected areas

What Actions can you take?

​​​​​​1. Organize a clean up project for rivers and oceans. Engage your whole community to clean up a local river, seaside or an ocean.

 

2. Don’t overuse water. Make sure to close a tap when washing dishes, take short showers – Bathtubs require gallons more water than a 5-10 minute shower.

 

3. Find out where your water comes from and how it's treated
