On target for people and planet: setting and achieving water-related sustainable development goals

The SDG development process has been extensive and inclusive in its attempt to establish consensus among countries and other stakeholders on universal goals and targets. While the global SDGs will be finalized over the coming year, the shape of them is emerging and it is possible to envisage key elements of the water-related SDGs. Through this book aim to contribute to the next steps in the SDG process: setting national targets, achieving those targets in countries, measuring progress, and, in particular, exploring contributions of the science community through evidence based support.
