A Brief Account of the 2030 Agenda and its Implications for Brazil and the Amazon Region in Achieving Sustainable Development Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation

Abstract

The 2030 Agenda, developed by the United Nations (UN) in 2015, includes 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), broken down into 169 targets and 231 indicators to be achieved by 2030. This article focuses on SDG 6, which addresses universal access to clean water and sanitation, analyzing its implementation in Brazil and the Amazon region. Data from the National Water and Basic Sanitation Agency (ANA), the National Sanitation Information System (SNIS), the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), and the National Household Sample Survey (PNAD) from 2016 to 2020 were examined. The results highlight the need for increased investment in water infrastructure and sanitation projects to alleviate challenges faced by the Amazonian population. The participation of multiple sectors in integrated water management is crucial to achieving SDG 6 by 2030.
