2. Substantially increase water-use efficiency across all sectors and ensure sustainable withdrawals and supply of freshwater to address water scarcity and substantially reduce the number of people suffering from water scarcity

They address the global challenges we face, including those related to poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace, and justice. The 17 Goals are all interconnected holding within 169 targets which are global in nature and universally applicable, taking into account different national realities, capacities and levels of development and respecting national policies and priorities, and in order to leave no one behind, it is important that we achieve them all by 2030 as provide a framework for shared action “for people, planet and prosperity,” to be implemented by “all countries and all stakeholders, acting in a collaborative partnership.
