to cause major conflicts in the future. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) call for the conservation and fair and effective management of all water resources.
What do the SDG call for? The SDGs demand that all people have access to clean drinking water and adequate sanitation. Means suggested to achieve this aim are:
- Reducing chemical pollution; improving wastewater treatment and recycling and reusing water
- Protecting and restoring water-related ecosystems, including mountains, forests, wetlands, rivers, aquifiers and lakes
- Sustainably managing, protecting and restoring marine and coastal ecosystems
- Minimizing and addressing the impacts of ocean acidification; regulating harvesting and ending over fishing, illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing and destructive fishing practices.” (c.f. Vidimus Dominum)
