Sustainable Development Goal 15 aims to “protect, restore and promote sustainable use of
terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse
land degradation and halt biodiversity loss”.

Forests have a significant role in reducing the risk of natural disasters, including floods,
droughts, landslides and other extreme events. At global level, forests mitigate climate change
through carbon sequestration, contribute to the balance of oxygen, carbon dioxide and humidity
in the air and protect watersheds, which supply 75% of freshwater worldwide.

Investing in forests and forestry represent an investment in people and their livelihoods,
especially the rural poor, youth and women. Around 1.6 billion people - including more than
2,000 indigenous cultures - depend on forests for their livelihood.

Forests are the most biologically-diverse ecosystems on land, home to more than 80% of the
terrestrial species of animals, plants and insects. They also provide shelter, jobs, food, drink and
security for forest-dependent communities.

Water and sanitation are at the core of sustainable development, and the range of services they
provide underpin poverty reduction, economic growth and environmental sustainability.
However, in recent decades overexploitation, pollution, and climate change have led to severe
water stress in locales across the world.

Today, 2.2 billion people lack access to safely managed drinking water, and more than 4.2
billion people lack safely managed sanitation. Climate change is exacerbating the situation,
with increasing disasters such as floods and droughts. 80 per cent of wastewater in the world
flows back into the ecosystem without being treated or reused, and 70 per cent of the world’s
natural wetland extent has been lost, including a significant loss of freshwater species.

The COVID-19 pandemic poses an additional impediment, impairing access for billions of
people to safely managed drinking water, sanitation and hygiene services – services desperately
needed to prevent the virus from spreading.

Now more than ever the world needs to transform the way it manages its water resources and
delivers water and sanitation services for billions of people. Urgent action is needed to
overcome this global crisis, as it is affecting all countries around the world, socially,
economically and environmentally.

Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6) on water and sanitation, adopted by United Nations
Member States at the 2015 UN Summit as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development, provides the blueprint for ensuring availability and sustainable management of
water and sanitation for all.
