Water is the silent infrastructure of everything the United Nations cares about, and the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 6 captures this centrality by committing the world to ensuring the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all. However, nearly 75% of the world’s population lives in countries classified as water-insecure or critically water-insecure, and progress towards SDG 6 is a long way from being achieved by 2030.
