Global baseline status of targets and indicators

This chapter provides a global baseline status for SDG 6 targets and indicators. It compiles data from the United Nations agencies contributing to the UN-Water Integrated Monitoring Initiative for SDG 6 and provides Member States with key information and an overview of the current state of water management and sanitation within SDG 6. Current rates of change and trajectories towards 2030 targets are established where sufficient data (such as those from previous monitoring during the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) period 2000–2015) are available. The chapter also highlights specific challenges associated with measuring and monitoring progress and identifies opportunities for improvement.
