Clean Water and Sanitation

Clean water and sanitation (SDG 6) are essential for health, dignity, and sustainable development, yet billions lack basic access. In 2022, 2.2 billion people lacked safely managed drinking water, and 4.2 billion lacked safe sanitation, resulting in high mortality rates from preventable diseases.By 2030, achieve access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for all and end open defecation, paying special attention to the needs of women and girls and those in vulnerable situations.
