Description of the Platform

The UN-Water SDG 6 Data Portal brings all the United Nation’s water and sanitation information into one place.

Hydrological, environmental, social, and economic information from all countries and regions is integrated and presented in a range of infographics. Designed for decision-makers, advisors, technical professionals, researchers, and students, there are tools to help users visualise and analyse the information, giving a clear picture of how the world is progressing towards the various SDG 6 targets.

The portal complements the Global SDG Indicators Database and indicator-specific databases.

The objectives of the portal are to:

  • Track overall progress towards SDG 6 at global, regional, and national levels.
  • Enable assessment and analysis of the state of water resources and linkages to other sectors.
  • Raise awareness of water and sanitation issues to help catalyse action.
  • Encourage and improve SDG 6 monitoring and reporting at all levels.
  • Be an entry point to the wealth of water and sanitation information available within the United Nations system.
