8 1- Eliminating inequalities SHORT SUMMARY: only selected KEY MESSAGES of the SDG 6 Synthesis Report Improving governance and participation 0- SDG 6 and 2030 Agenda 2- Developing capacity and using smart technologies 4- Creating new ways for financing SDG 6

9 Main Message 0 Achieving SDG 6 is essential for progress on all other SDGs and vice versa

10 Main Message 1 Eliminating inequalities is essential: Effective policies, strategies and subsidies must be developed to ensure no one is left behind. Extending access to safe drinking water still presents a huge challenge Billions of people still need access to basic toilet and handwashing facilities

11 SDG Safely managed drinking water Global drinking water coverage (per cent) in 2015 Proportion of population using at least basic drinking water services in 2015 Data sources: WHO/UNICEF JMP, 2017

12 SDG Safely managed drinking water Over 5 billion people (7 out of 10) used safely managed drinking water in 2015 Global drinking water coverage (per cent) in 2015 Proportion of population using safely at least managed basic drinking water water services in 2015 in billion lacked safely managed drinking water 844 million still lacked a basic service 263 million used a limited service 159 million used surface water sources Data sources: WHO/UNICEF JMP, 2017

13 SDG 6.2.1a Safely managed sanitation Proportion of population using at least basic sanitation services in 2015 Nearly 3 billion people used a safely managed sanitation service in 2015 (2 out of 5 lived in rural areas). Global sanitation coverage (per cent) in 2015 Proportion of population using safely managed sanitation services in billion people lacked safely managed sanitation services 2.3 billion people still lacked even a basic sanitation service 892 million people still practised open defecation Data sources: WHO/UNICEF JMP, 2017

14 SDG 6.2.1a Safely managed sanitation 892m people still practised open defecation in 2015: two thirds lived in two SDG regions (CSA + SSA) 80% live in 10 countries 9 out of 10 live in rural areas Providing WASH services to bridge the inequality gap is a great opportunity! Open defecation across SDG regions from 2000 through to 2015 Data sources: WHO/UNICEF JMP, 2017

15 Main Message 2 Developing capacity and using smart technologies Smart technologies could improve all aspects of water management...

16 SDG Level of water stress: freshwater withdrawal as a proportion of available freshwater resources Level of water stress More than 2 billion people live in countries experiencing high water stress. The situation will likely worsen as populations and the demand for water grow, and as the effects of climate change intensify. Average Global Water Stress is 11 % Highest water stress are Northern Africa and Western Asia (79%) and Central and Southern Asia (66%). Sub-Saharan Africa, has a low level of water stress at 3%, but this hides the large differences between the wetter north and drier south. Data source: FAO, 2016

17 WATER USES for AGRICULTURE and INDUSTRIES Agriculture places enormous stress on water, but is also part of a water-saving solution: saving just a fraction of agricultural withdrawals would significantly alleviate water stress in other sectors. Data sources: AQUASTAT 2018

18 SDG Proportion of wastewater safely treated By 2030, improve water quality by reducing pollution, eliminating dumping and minimizing release of hazardous chemicals and materials, halving the proportion of untreated wastewater and substantially increasing recycling and safe reuse globally The extent of industrial pollution is not known, as discharges are poorly monitored and seldom aggregated at national level Data sources: WHO UN-HABITAT, 2018

19 Main Message 2 Developing capacity and using smart technologies TREATING and REUSING WATER IRRIGATION INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES POTABLE WATER AQUIFER RECHARGE HEATING/COOLING Treated ( fit-for-purpose ) wastewater is a safe and reliable source of water that can be used to offset water scarcity Data sources: WWDR, 2017

20 Main Message 2 Developing capacity and using smart technologies Smart technologies could improve all aspects of water management, but only limited progress can be made and any investment is at risk without developing the necessary human and institutional capacity.

21 Main Message 3 Improving Governance and Public Participation Implement IWRM Integration across water and waterusing sectors and effective transboundary governance frameworks is essential to ensure that limited water resources are shared effectively among many competing demands. Public participation is critical to water management. Community participation in decisionmaking can yield many benefits, but better means of measuring quality and effectiveness of such participation are needed.

22 SDG 6.b.1Percentage of local administrative units with established and operational policies and procedures for participation of local communities in water and sanitation management. Over 75% of countries report having clearly defined policies and procedures in place for the participation of service users and communities in planning programmes for drinking water supply. However, the number of countries that report high levels of user participation remains comparatively low. Percentages of countries with defined procedures in law or policy for participation (number of countries = 110) Source: WHO and UN-Water (2017). Data sources: WHO and UN-Water (2017).

23 Main Message 4 Creating new ways to finance water and sanitation US$114 billion per year are estimate as the annual capital costs of meeting SDG targets 6.1 and 6.2 (without operation and maintenance, monitoring, institutional support, sector strengthening and human resources). This does not include other SDG 6 targets.

30 Vision Our vision is for a thriving economy that works for people and planet in the long term. Mission Our mission is to focus investors, companies and cities on taking urgent action to build a truly sustainable economy by measuring and understanding their environmental impact. Areas of focus Engage and inform Page 30

36 Why business action on water matters Now is the time to mobilize the global business community as never before. The case is clear. Realizing the Sustainable Development Goals will improve the environment for doing business creating huge opportunities for responsible companies to deliver solutions UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon Industry accounts for over 19% of global water withdrawal and global agricultural supply chains account for 70% more. In developing countries, up to 70% of industrial wastewater is discharged untreated Three in every four jobs are dependent upon a stable supply of water Page 36

37 Why business action on water matters More than 7,300 substantive water risks reported in 2017 Representing shared water challenges in 149 river basins and 102 countries Commanding over US$20.3 Trillion in market capital, these companies represent a powerful lever for change In 2017, US$23.4 Billion invested across more than 1,000 projects to tackle water risks across 91 countries Page 37

46 Targets and goals aligned with SDG6 in 2017 First Solar set a goal to conserve natural resources, minimize waste, protect biodiversity and native habitats, and prevent pollution from the manufacturing, construction and end-of-life management of their PV products. First Solar We were the first beverage company to sign the WBCSD WASH at Work Pledge and have set a target to provide 100% of Diageo employees with access to water, sanitation and hygiene. Diageo By 2017, engage in watershed protection measures at 100 percent of our facilities located in key areas in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, China, Mexico, Peru and the United States, in partnership with local stakeholders. Our base year is This goal was adopted because water quality is important to our operations, watersheds are critical to water quality and external partnerships are necessary to accomplish this goal.
