This chapter on SDG 6 Clean Water and Sanitation from “Sustainable Denmark. With the SDGs towards 2030” reviews Denmark’s progress on SDG 6, examining national water challenges, global water impacts, sectoral linkages, and opportunities for action towards 2030.
This report contains a preliminary analysis of the environmental impacts of the Kakhovka dam breach, which occurred in the early hours of 6 June 2023.
The second edition of WMO’s flagship report offers a comprehensive and consistent assessment of the state of water resources worldwide.
This note describes key challenges and solutions to managing invasive aquatic plants, focusing on the Yamoussoukro lakes in Côte d’Ivoire.
The United Nations Environment Programme’s (UNEP) Measuring Progress series of reports provides an overview of the progress made in data availability for the 92 environment-related Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) indicators, coupled with improvement or degradation in the trend of each indicator. The 2023 edition focuses on the progress on the water-related targets in the Sustainable Development Goals.
The UN World Water Development Report (WWDR) 2023 highlights the nature and role of partnerships and cooperation among stakeholders in water resources management and development and their role in accelerating progress towards water goals and targets.
The report highlights the potential of using freshwater ecosystems to implement nature-based solutions (NbS) to tackle the triple planetary crisis – climate change, nature and biodiversity loss, and pollution. It draws from lessons learned from the implementation of different projects in Afghanistan, Albania, El-Salvador, Haiti, Kenya, Morocco, and Tanzania.
To showcase the potential and application of NbS towards adaptation to climate change in urban areas, UNEP has published a report, Nature-Based Solutions for Urban Challenges. The report is the 23rd edition of UNEP’s Foresight Briefs, which highlights emerging environmental issues, systemic insights, and possible policy solutions that can inform decision-making today.
The UNEP in close collaboration with the Italian Presidency of the G20 released a report, Smart, Sustainable and Resilient Cities: The Power of Nature-Based Solutions. The report calls to attention the potential of enhancing Nature-based Solutions (NbS) in cities to reduce their vulnerability to climate change.
A new report from UNEP with contributions from UNEP-DHI Centre offers recommendations on how to combine water management and climate change adaptation approaches to mitigate the global water and climate change crises.
This CTCN Knowledge Brief provides an illuminating and inspiring overview of the use of NbS technologies in adopting and implementing holistic solutions that exploit synergies wherever possible to tackle climate change and water management challenges in rural, urban and coastal areas.
This briefing note describes African progress on implementing IWRM in the 2030 Agenda.
