UN's Summary Progress Update 2021: SDG 6 — water and sanitation for all
Back to Search
This new report Summary Progress Update 2021: SDG 6 — water and sanitation for all provides the latest available country, regional and global data on all of the SDG 6 global indicators. It outlines how far we have come in implementing SDG 6, where we are lagging behind and what acceleration is needed to ensure sustainable water and sanitation for all by 2030.
The monitoring of progress towards SDG 6 is a means to successfully achieving all eight SDG 6 targets. Credible and timely water and sanitation data provide numerous social, economic, and environmental benefits in both public and private sectors, such as stronger political accountability and commitment, as well as public and private investments. It also enables evidence-based policy-making, regulations, planning and investments at all levels, to ensure the most effective deployment of resources. The main beneficiaries of better data are countries.
The 2030 Agenda specifies that global follow-up and review “will be primarily based on national official data sources”. This report is based on country data, compiled and verified by the responsible United Nations organizations, and sometimes complemented by information from other sources.
Credible and timely data provide numerous benefits to all sectors of society as they help to build political accountability and commitment and to encourage investments. Data also enable evidence-based policies and decisions to ensure the most effective deployment of resources. And this is exactly what we want to achieve with this report.
Please help the U.N. reach as many policy and decision makers as possible, by sharing the report within your networks!
The report was launched during a virtual launch event on 4 March. If you would like to catch up on the event, you can:
