Water in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

In 2015, the United Nations adopted 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) covering the period from 2015-2030, thus establishing the first universal vision of the Stainable Development Agenda. Water is featured in all the 17 priorities identified, from Goal 6, which is specifically dedicated to water, and 18 other progress targets. The French Water Partnership conducts several activities on the issue.
