6. Ensure availability and sustainability management of water and sanitation for all.
Billions of people still lack access to safe drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene in
2020. 2 billion people, 26%, lack safely managed drinking water. 3.6 billion people, roughly
46%, lack safely managed sanitation. 2.3 billion people, 29%, lack basic hygiene. 2.3 billion
people live in water stress countries. Between 1970 and 2015, natural wetlands shrank by
35% which is 3 times the rate of forest loss. 129 countries are now not on track to have
sustainably managed water resources by 2030. Current rate of progress needs to double.
