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
