The Path to a Sustainable Future: Addressing SDG6 and Water Scarcity Through Collaboration

Water is the source of life, yet 844 million people in our world have no access to a basic drinking water source. This alarming fact highlights the need for greater attention to SDG6 - clean water and sanitation. As a member of Skills Council of Canada, I am proud to advocate for SDG6 and the crucial role it plays in providing food security, livelihood choices, and educational opportunities for poor families across the globe.

Local and Global Problems Plaguing Our Communities, Countries, and Industries

Inadequate access to clean water and sanitation severely affects the health and well-being of people living in poverty. It's not just a problem for remote communities, but a global issue that requires our collective attention. Poor water quality and unsanitary conditions contribute to the spread of diseases and create an unhealthy environment for children and families.

Without clean water and a healthy environment, opportunities for education, employment, and community development are significantly limited. In fact, the World Health Organization estimates that for every $1 invested in water and sanitation, there is an economic return of up to $34. Clearly, SDG6 is an essential investment in our collective future, and a fundamental requirement for poverty reduction and sustainable development.

Through Partnerships, We Can Make a Difference

The United Nations SDGs action plan outlines the goals and targets that we need to address. In partnership with Arctic Freshwater, we are confident we can make a significant impact on SDG6:

- Achieve universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water
- Ensure access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene
- Improve water quality by reducing pollution and eliminating dumping
- Increase water-use efficiency across all sectors
- Protect and restore water-related ecosystems

Arctic Freshwater's ecosystem has the infrastructure and access to 178 trillion litres of renewable pure water, along with educational resources to serve as a foundation for local and global solutions. By collaborating with Arctic Freshwater, we can work together to address the critical issues affecting water scarcity and sanitation worldwide.
