In this episode of About Sustainability…Erin and Bob talked to Binaya Raj Shivakoti, an IGES expert in the Adaptation and Water team, about SDG6, which is on “ensuring availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all” (or simply ‘Clean Water and Sanitation'). This goal's environmental dimensions are clear, and has targets on the universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene for all; improving water quality and water-use efficiency; implementing integrated water resource management; protecting and restoring water-related ecosystems; fostering international cooperation, and involving local communities in water and sanitation management.During our chat, we talked about water being fundamental to all aspects of life and what life can be like for communities without access to these basic needs. We then explored integrated water resource management (IWRM), which Binaya argued is a natural starting point for implementing all the SDGs.Related linksUNDESA's SDG6 PageRecent work on integrated river basin management (a form of integrated water resource management)Binaya's recent publication on Tonle Sap LakeIGES publications relevant to SDG6About our guest:Binaya Raj Shivakoti is a Senior Policy Researcher in the Adaptation and Water team at IGES.
