Achieving universal coverage by 2030 will require a 6-fold increase in current global rates of progress on drinking water, a 5-fold increase for sanitation, and an 8-fold increase for hygiene. In addition, water pollution is a significant challenge which affects both human health and the environment in many countries. Water scarcity is a growing problem in many parts of the world, and conflicts and climate change are exacerbating the issue. ![]() Billions of people still lack access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene, despite improvement in the provision of these basic services. ![]()
