摘要

The 17 UN SustainableSustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) are to create a smart, resilient, healthy and cohesive society. WaterWater (SDG 6—Clean waterWater) is a key contributing factor to several of these SDGs, for example, 2-zero hunger, 3-good healthHealth & wellbeing, 6—(clean waterWater and) sanitation, 7- affordable and clean energyEnergy, 8—decent work & economic growth, 16—peace and justice. ClimateClimate action (SDG 13) while impacting society’s healthHealth & wellbeing (SDG 3), impacts the surface water level too (SDG 6) and thus contributes to SDGs 2, 7, 8, 16 indirectly. This article highlights the link between water and several of these SDGs and discusses the role society should play in mitigating the challenges in energyEnergy, foodFood and healthHealth.
