SDGs 06
Clean Water And Sanitation 淨水及衛生

Water scarcity affects more than 40 percent of people, an alarming figure that is projected to rise as temperatures do. Although 2.1 billion people have improved water sanitation since 1990, dwindling drinking water supplies are affecting every continent.

More and more countries are experiencing water stress, and increasing drought and desertification is already worsening these trends. By 2050, it is projected that at least one in four people will suffer recurring water shortages.

Safe and affordable drinking water for all by 2030 requires we invest in adequate infrastructure, provide sanitation facilities, and encourage hygiene. Protecting and restoring water-related ecosystems is essential.

Ensuring universal safe and affordable drinking water involves reaching over 800 million people who lack basic services and improving accessibility and safety of services for over two billion.

In 2015, 4.5 billion people lacked safely managed sanitation services (with adequately disposed or treated excreta) and 2.3 billion lacked even basic sanitation.

缺水影響到40%以上的人，這個驚人的數字預計將隨著氣溫的升高而上升。儘管自1990年以來有21億人改善了水的衛生條件，但飲用水供應的減少正在影響著每一個大陸。

越來越多的國家正在經歷水的壓力，而日益嚴重的干旱和荒漠化已經使這些趨勢惡化。到2050年，預計每四個人中至少有一個人將遭受經常性的缺水。

到2030年為所有人提供安全和負擔得起的飲用水，需要我們投資於足夠的基礎設施，提供衛生設施，並鼓勵衛生。保護和恢復與水有關的生態系統是至關重要的。

確保普及安全和可負擔得起的飲用水涉及到為8億多缺乏基本服務的人提供服務，並改善20多億人的服務可及性和安全性。

2015年，45億人缺乏安全管理的衛生服務（有適當處置或處理的排泄物），23億人甚至缺乏基本衛生設施。
