SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation
The sixth Sustainable Development goal aims to ensure access to safe water sources and sanitation for all by 2030. According to the UN, 3 in 10 people lack access to safely managed drinking water services and about 3 billion people lack access to basic sanitation. Sustainable water management is essential to ensuring sustainable food production, human health, and economic development, as well as the preservation of the Earth’s water ecosystems and biodiversity. Faculty and students at PCGS are committed to researching and promoting sustainable water use and wastewater management, as well as the conservation of the Earth’s natural water resources.
