Clean water and sanitation

Clean water and sanitation

Drinking water in the world, i.e. the water we can drink and use to wash ourselves and our belongings, is limited.  

This goal calls on us to waste less water, reduce water pollution, ensure that every person has the possibility of drinking water close to them and to bring sanitation facilities (bathroom, kitchen with access to drinking water, sewage system and disposal of dirty water) to the whole world.  

It is important that we pay attention to protecting the quality and sustainability of the planet’s water resources. Some bad behaviours are putting the availability of water on the planet at risk, such as increased environmental warming, pollution, the use of large amounts of water in industries for mass production, the rapid disappearance of rivers, lakes, reservoirs.  

We must ensure that there is water for all, in all parts of the world.
