SDG
Goal 1. End poverty in all its forms everywhere
- Ensure significant mobilization of resources from a variety of sources, including through enhanced
development cooperation, in order to provide adequate and predictable means for developing countries, in
particular least developed countries, to implement programs and policies to end poverty in all its
dimensions.

Goal 2. End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture
-Hunger is on the rise again globally and undernutrition continues to affect millions of children. Public
investment in agriculture globally is declining, smallscale food producers and family farmers require
much greater support and increased investment in infrastructure and technology for sustainable
agriculture is urgently needed.
Goal 3. Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages
-Concerted efforts are required to achieve universal health coverage and sustainable financing for health,
to address the growing burden of non-communicable diseases, including mental health, and to tackle
antimicrobial resistance and determinants of health such as air pollution and inadequate water and
sanitation.
-Reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health
-Infectious diseases
-Non-communicable diseases, mental health and environmental risks
-Health systems and funding
Goal 4. Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for
all
-Many developing countries still lack basic infrastructure and facilities to provide effective learning
environments. Sub-Saharan Africa faces the biggest challenges: at the primary and lower secondary
levels, less than half of schools have access to electricity, the Internet, computers and basic drinking
water.
Goal 5. Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls
- According to recent data from some 90 countries, women devote on average roughly three times more
hours a day to unpaid care and domestic work than men, limiting the time available for paid work,
education and leisure and further reinforcing gender-based socioeconomic disadvantages.
Goal 6. Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all
-Despite progress, billions of people still lack safe water, sanitation and handwashing facilities. Data
suggests that achieving universal access to even basic sanitation service by 2030 would require doubling
the current annual rate of progress. More efficient use and management of water are critical to addressing
the growing demand for water, threats to water security and the increasing frequency and severity of
droughts and floods resulting from climate change.
Goal 7. Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all
-Access to electricity in the poorest countries has begun to accelerate, energy efficiency continues to
improve, and renewable energy is making gains in electricity sector. Non-consumptive use of
hydroelectric power. Thus, cheapest sustainable source is water.
Goal 8. Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment
and decent work for all
- Globally, labour productivity has increased and unemployment is back to pre-financial crisis levels.
However, the global economy is growing at a slower rate. More progress is needed to increase
employment opportunities, particularly for young people, reduce informal employment and the gender
pay gap and promote safe and secure working environments to create decent work for all.
Goal 9. Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster
innovation
- While financing for economic infrastructure has increased in developing countries and impressive
progress has been made in mobile connectivity, countries that are lagging behind, such as least developed
countries, face serious challenges in doubling the manufacturing industry’s share of GDP by 2030, and
investment in scientific research and innovation remains below the global average.
Goal 10. Reduce inequality within and among countries
-Inequality within and among nations continues to be a significant concern despite progress in and efforts
at narrowing disparities of opportunity, income and power. Income inequality continues to rise in many
parts of the world, even as the bottom 40 per cent of the population in many countries has experienced
positive growth rates. Greater emphasis will need to be placed on reducing inequalities in income as well
as those based on other factors. Additional efforts are needed to increase zero-tariff access for exports
from least developed countries and developing countries, and assistance to least developed countries and
small island developing States.

Goal 11. Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable
-Urban areas are expected to absorb all of the world’s population growth over the next four decades, as
well as accommodating significant rural-to-urban migration. The vast majority of these people will be
living in overcrowded slums with inadequate, often non-existent, water and sanitation services.
Safe drinking water systems and adequate sanitation that effectively disposes of human waste will be
essential to ensure cities and towns grow sustainably. Extending these services to the millions of urbanites
currently unserved will play a key role in underpinning the health and security of cities, protecting
economies and ecosystems and minimising the risk of pandemics.
-Substantial progress has been made in reducing the proportion of the global urban population living in
slums, though more than 1 billion people continue to live in such situations. Urgent action is needed to
reverse the current situation, which sees the vast majority of urban residents breathing poor-quality air
and having limited access to transport and open public spaces. With the areas occupied by cities growing
faster than their populations, there are profound repercussions for sustainability
Goal 12. Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
-Urgent action is needed to ensure that current material needs do not lead to the overextraction of
resources or to the degradation of environmental resources, and should include policies that improve
resource efficiency, reduce waste and mainstream sustainability practices across all sectors of the
economy.
-Industrialization
Goal 13. Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
-Water is the primary medium through which we will feel the effects of climate change. Water
availability is becoming less predictable in many places, and increased incidences of flooding threaten to
destroy water points and sanitation facilities and contaminate water sources.

In some regions, droughts are exacerbating water scarcity and thereby negatively impacting people’s
health and productivity. Ensuring that everyone has access to sustainable water and sanitation services is a
critical climate change mitigation strategy for the years ahead.

Goal 14. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development
-The expansion of protected areas for marine biodiversity and existing policies and treaties that encourage
responsible use of ocean resources are still insufficient to combat the adverse effects of overfishing,
growing ocean acidification due to climate change and worsening coastal eutrophication. As billions of
people depend on oceans for their livelihood and food source and on the transboundary nature of oceans,
increased efforts and interventions are needed to conserve and sustainably use ocean resources at all
levels.

Goal 15. Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage
forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss
-The water purification process provided by aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems supplies water suitable for
drinking, industry, recreation, and wildlife habitat
-Ecosystems – such as forests, wetlands and grasslands – are a critical part of the global water cycle. All
freshwater ultimately depends on the continued healthy functioning of ecosystems and recognizing the
water cycle as a biophysical process is essential to achieving sustainable water management.
- Forest loss is slowing down, more key biodiversity areas are protected and more financial assistance is
flowing towards biodiversity protection.
Goal 16. Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice
for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels
-Advances in ending violence, promoting the rule of law, strengthening institutions and increasing access
to justice are uneven and continue to deprive millions of their security, rights and opportunities and
undermine the delivery of public services and broader economic development. Attacks on civil society are
also holding back development progress.
-Access to water and sanitation are recognized by the United Nations as human rights, reflecting the
fundamental nature of these basics in every person’s life. Lack of access to safe, sufficient and affordable
water, sanitation and hygiene facilities has a devastating effect on the health, dignity and prosperity of
billions of people, and has significant consequences for the realization of other human rights.

People are rights-holders and States are duty-bearers of providing water and sanitation services. Rights-
holders can claim their rights and duty-bearers must guarantee the rights to water and sanitation equally
and without discrimination.

 -right to water and sanitation

“Sufficient”: The water supply for each person must be sufficient and continuous for personal and
domestic uses. These uses ordinarily include drinking, personal sanitation, washing of clothes,
food preparation, personal and household hygiene.
  “Safe”: The water required for each personal or domestic use must be safe, therefore free from
micro-organisms, chemical substances and radiological hazards that constitute a threat to a
person’s health. Measures of drinking-water safety are usually defined by national and/or local
standards for drinking-water quality.
 “Acceptable”: Water should be of an acceptable colour, odour and taste for each personal or
domestic use. All water facilities and services must be culturally appropriate and sensitive to
gender, lifecycle and privacy requirements.
 “Physically accessible”: Everyone has the right to a water and sanitation service that is physically
accessible within, or in the immediate vicinity of the household, educational institution,
workplace or health institution.
 “Affordable”: Water, and water facilities and services, must be affordable for all.

Goal 17. Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable
Development
-partnership ng Marikina, pasig etc., to clean yung water
-Finance and trade -There are three major sources of funds for water and sanitation. Taxes from
individuals and businesses; transfers such as overseas aid, remittances or market interest rate lending; and
tariffs paid by households, businesses and governments. The provision of good services depends on
effective planning of how these funds are raised, in what proportions, and how they are implemented.
