1. OVERVIEW

BEFORE COVID-19: Billions of people still lack water and sanitation services

2.2 billion people lack safely managed drinking water (2017)

4.2 billion people lack safely manged sanitation (2017)

COVID-19 IMPLICATIONS: 3 Billion people still lack basic handwashing facilities at home

WATER AND SANITATION TARGETS: Some countries experience a funding gap of 61%

TWO IN FIVE HEALTHCARE FACILITIES:  No soap, water or alcohol-based hand rub (2016)

BY 2030: Water scarcity could displace 700 million people

6.1  Achieve universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water

6.2  Achieve access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene + end open defecation

6.3  Improve water quality

6.4  Increase water-use efficiency and ensure freshwater supplies

6.5  Implement integrated water resources management

6.6   Protect and restore water-related Ecosystems

6.a  Expand water and sanitation support to developing countries

6.b  Support local engagement in water and sanitation management

2. TARGETS

3. PROGRESS AND INFO

2015:  4,9 billion people (68% of the global population) were supplied with improved sanitation facilities.

​            6,6 billion people (91% of global population) could drink from improved water sources

​2016: 1/4 healthcare facilities lacked basic water sources; 1/5 had no sanitation services

2017:  71% of the global population used safely managed drinking water

            Just 45% used safely managed sanitation services

2018:   60% of 172 countries reported the lowest levels of integrated water resources management

2019:   Universal access to a basic sanitation service requires a doubling of the annual rate of progress.

2020:  Access to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services is fundamental to fight COVID-19

BEFORE COVID-19: global communities avoided to promote serious solutions required to solve the climate crisis

COVID-19 IMPLICATIONS: 6% drop in greenhouse gas emissions

Only 85 countries have disaster risk reduction strategies

More investments on fossil fuels than climate activities

More natural disasters

1. OVERVIEW

13.1  Strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related adisasters

13.2  Integrate climate change measures into policies, strategies and planning

13.3  Build knowledge and capacity to meet climate change

13.a  Implement the UN framework convention on climate change

13.b  Promote mechanisms to raise capacity for planning and management

2. TARGETS

2019: the second warmest year on record

PARIS ARGREEMENT: reduction of 1.5 or 2°C targets

CLIMATE IS NOT ON PAUSE: need of systemic shift to a more sustainable economy

SIX CLIMATE-POSITIVE ACTIONS PROPOSED BY THE UN SECRETARY-GENERAL:     

1. Green transition                                           4. Investments in sustainable solutions

2. Green jobs                                                    5. Confront for all climate risks

3. Green economy                                            6. Cooperation

3. PROGRESS AND INFO

BEFORE COVID-19: 

Ocean acidification continued to threaten marine environments and ecosystems services

A 100-150% rise in ocean acidity is projected by 2100, affecting half of all marine life

COVID-19 IMPLICATIONS:

The drastic reduction in human activity, brought about by covid 19, may be a chance for oceans to recuperate

Global marine key biodiversity areas covered by protected areas increased

1. OVERVIEW

2. TARGETS

14.1/14.2  Prevent and reduce marine pollution/Manage and protect marine/coastal ecosystems

14.3  Minimize and address the impacts of ocean acidification

14.4  Regulate harvesting and end overfishing, illegal fishing and destructive fishing practice

14.5  Conserve at least 10 percent of coastal and marine areas

14.6  Prohibit and eliminate certain forms of fisheries subsidies ​

14.7  Increase the economic benefits from the sustainable use of marine resources

14.a  Increase scientific knowledge

14.b  Provide access for small-scale artisanal fishers to marine resources and markets

14.c  Enhance the conservation and sustainable use of oceans and their resources

3. PROGRESS AND INFO

INFOS: 

Oceans cover 2/3  of the Earth's surface

Oceans absorb 23% of the annual emissions of CO2     There's a CO2 saturation    Acidification

Marine ecosystem's integrity is required to guarantee human well-being

DECEMBER 2019: 24 million km2 of waters covered by protected areas

REQUIREMENTS: To maintain a good quality of life, we need to take care of the oceans
