ABOUT SDGs
• SDGs are the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by the world
leaders at the United Nations Sustainable Development Summit (Sept 2015), in New
York
• Built on the achievement and experiences of the Millennium Development Goals in

year 2000.
• Focus on 17 Goals and 169 targets
• The SDGs, (Global Goals), are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the
planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity.

ABOUT SDGs
• The SDGs, (Global Goals), are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet
and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity.
• 17 Goals build on the successes of the Millennium Development Goals, while including new
areas such as climate change, economic inequality, innovation, sustainable consumption,
peace and justice, among other priorities
• Work in the spirit of partnership and pragmatism to make the right choices now to improve
life, in a sustainable way, for future generations.
• They provide clear guidelines and targets for all countries to adopt in accordance with their
own priorities and the environmental challenges of the world at large
5
Innovative solutions to UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)
On 25th September 2015, countries adopted a set of goals to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure
prosperity for all as part of a new sustainable development agenda. Each goal has specific targets to be achieved
over the next 15 years (total 169 targets).
Water place an imp role in all the goals

appropriate
6. By 2030, protect and restore water-related ecosystems, including mountains, forests, wetlands, rivers, aquifers and lakes
7. By 2030, expand international cooperation and capacity-building support to developing countries in water- and sanitation-
related activities and programs, including water harvesting, desalination, water efficiency, wastewater treatment, recycling
and reuse technologies
8. Support and strengthen the participation of local communities in improving water and sanitation management

• Malaysia is not running out of water, but water is running out of Malaysia. The Same
with some other countries.
• CR/Downstream reservoir can be a potential long term and sustainable solution for
water resources in Malaysia. The Same with some other countries.
• The present river runoff and dam system utilizes about only 3.7% of the available water,
with most of the remaining water discharged into the sea.
• Water shortage is primarily an issue of storage rather than availability.
