Background
What the Sustainable Development Goals are
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are part of the 2030 Agenda adopted by UN member states in 2015. They consist of 17 goals covering areas from ending poverty and quality education to protecting the climate and ecosystems.
Background
Links to water management
Goal 6 relates directly to water supply, wastewater collection and treatment and the sustainable use of water resources. Goal 11 includes the resilience of cities to natural hazards, including floods. Goal 13 emphasises adaptation to climate change – for example better stormwater management and water retention in the landscape.
