Water Action Agenda
Water en sanitaire voorzieningen lopen als een rode draad door de Agenda 2030 voor Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) en hebben overal gevolgen alle sectoren van de samenleving. SDG-6 (garanderen van beschikbaarheid en duurzaam beheer van water en sanitaire voorzieningen voor iedereen - is alarmerend ontspoord. Met het huidige tempo van vooruitgang, zal de wereld de doelstelling van SDG-6 niet behalen, noch de mensenrechten op water realiseren. Het gebrek aan vooruitgang betekent dat water een dealbreaker zou kunnen zijn voor het verwezenlijken van de Agenda 2030. Tegelijkertijd heeft water de potentieel om een dealmaker te zijn die alle SDG’s en andere daaraan gerelateerde mondiale doelstellingen kan benutten en verwezenlijken.
In maart 2023 kwam de wereld samen tijdens de VN-Waterconferentie 2023, bijeengeroepen door de Algemene Vergaderingen van de Verenigde Naties. Een belangrijk resultaat van deze conferentie is de Water Action Agenda. In deze agenda worden alle watergerelateerde toezeggingen om vooruitgang de Water Action Decade 2018-2028 te versnellen verzameld. Hiermee de wereldgemeenschap zich in om bestaande programma's en projecten een impuls te geven. Hieronder treft u een conceptnota waar de activiteiten van de WAA worden uiteeingezet. Ook vindt u een link naar alle huidige programma's die op het gebied van SDG-6 lopen.Bekijk voor alle (internationale) programma's: Water Action Agenda | Sustainable Development (un.org) -

Report: Implementation of the SDG's in Amsterdam
As the first municipality in the Netherlands, Amsterdam presented a report on the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs are 17 goals set by the member states of the United Nations in 2015, which function as the new global sustainable development agenda for 2030.
The report, a so called Voluntary Local Review (VLR), maps out 6 of the 17 goals in total. In order to make these studies into specific goals possible, we first looked at the broader framework, at the way in which the goals of the UN can be linked to Amsterdam's principles in the field of sustainable economic development and broad prosperity.
The research, carried out by the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences on behalf of the municipality, is presented to the SDG Netherlands on September 27 during the SDG Action Day.

Video: SDG's and the United Nations
In 2015, the member states of de United Nations adopted an agenda that provided a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future.
Acoording to the UN, at the heart of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an "urgent call for action by all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership". As an example, the UN states that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.
The SDGs builds on decades of work by individual countries and the UN. You can read more about this work on the webpage of the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs

To monitor the progress towards the SDG's, the UN Secretary General presents an annual SDG Progress report, which is developed in cooperation with the UN System and based on the global indicator framework and data produced by national statistical systems and information collected at the regional level. Additionally, the Global Sustainable Development Report is produced once every four years to inform the quadrennial SDG review deliberations at the General Assembly. It is written by an Independent Group of Scientists appointed by the Secretary-General. You can find the reports here.
You can find all the the SDG's in the video below.
