3. . Background
Rio+20 (the UN Conference on Sustainable Development,2012)
- agreed to establish an intergovernmental process to
develop a set of "action-oriented, concise and easy to
communicate" sustainable development goals (SDGs)
- goals to be coherent with the Millennium Development
Goals(2000) and United Nations post 2015 development
agenda
It was decided establish an "inclusive and transparent
intergovernmental process open to all stakeholders,
with a view to developing global sustainable development
goals to be agreed by the General Assembly“.

4. MDGs and SDGs MDGs developed in 2000 and expire in 2015 8 total goals
Progress as of 2014
New goals will be discussed in Sept. 2015
SDGs serve as the basis for implementing SD into the beyond 2015 goals
Poverty eradication, changing unsustainable and promoting sustainable patterns of consumption and production and protecting and managing the natural resource base of economic and social development are the overarching objectives of and essential requirements for sustainable development.

Open Working Group on SDGs
Proposals for SDGs
(68th UN General Assembly)
2013
2014
2015
I will talk about the SDGs making process.
The draft of SDGs was proposed in July 2014 by Open Working Group establish by General Assembly of UN, and
In Septembern2015, these SDGs will be agreed by the General Assembly of UN.
The Open Working Group, in charge of preparing a proposal on SDGs, consists of 30 members
The members were nominated by the UN Member States from the five United Nations regional groups(African, Asian-Pacific, Latin American, eastern-western European).
This Open Working Group was operated under the principle of Openness, transparency, inclusiveness and consensus, so,
The Open Working Group tried listen to diverse opinions of Major group and all possible stakeholders through on-off line when making SDGs.
Here, The Major groups are formalized nine sectors of society such as women, children, local authority, and so on.
These Major groups work as the main channels through which broad participation can be facilitated in UN activities.
The opinions of Major groups and other stakeholders are coordinated according to its theme by the steering committee
and used in preparing joint position papers.
Based on these papers, Open Working Group could suggest a draft of SDGs. (

6. Water in SDGs
Water is a key determinant in aspects of social, economic and environmental development for poverty eradication and sustainable development
Safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene, and the management of water resources are key factors for a water-secure world
Water security requires governments role for competing demands and protecting resources and ecosystems with the cooperation from local to global level
Water-related capacity development is fundamental
Capacity development: the process through which individuals, organizations, and societies obtain, strengthen, and maintain the capabilities to set and achieve their own development objectives over time.

7. Sustainable Development Goals
Goal 6: Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all
Goal 14: Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development
Goal 13: Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
The sustainable development goals are accompanied by targets that will be further elaborated through indicators focused on measurable outcomes (mention push for more collection of data). They are action oriented, global in nature and universally applicable. They take into account different national realities, capacities and levels of development, and respect national policies and priorities.
With each government setting its own national targets guided by the global level of ambition, but taking into account national circumstances.
17 goals and 169 associated targets

8. Goal 6
“Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all”
Targets
Safe and affordable drinking water and sanitation/hygiene for all
Improve water quality, reduce water scarcity
Protect and restore ecosystems
Methods
Ending open defecation
Focusing on women/girls
Increase water efficiency, sustainable water withdrawals
IWRM, trans-boundary cooperation
Expand international cooperation
Capacity-building
Participation of local communities
Achieve universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water for all
Achieve access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for all and end open defecation, paying special attention to the needs to women and girls and those in vulnerable situations
Improve water quality by reducing pollution, eliminate dumping and minimizing release of hazardous chemicals and materials, halving the proportion of untreated wastewater and increasing recycling and safe reuse by __% globally
Sustantially increase water-use efficiency across all sectors and ensure sustainable withdrawals and supply of freshwater to address water sscarcity and substantially reduce the number of people suffering from water scarcity
Implement integrated water resources management at all levels, including through transboundary cooperation as appropriate
Protect and resotre water-related ecosystems, including mountains, forests, wetlands, rivers, aquifers and lakes
Expand international cooperation and capacity building support to developing countries in water and sanitation related activities and programmes, including water haresting, desalination, water efficiency, wastewater treatment, recycling and reuse technologies
Support and strengthen the participation of local communities in improving water and sanitation management

9. Goal 14
“Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development”
Five Focus Areas
Unstable extraction of marine resources
Marine Pollution
Alien invasive species
Ocean acidification
Physical alteration and destruction of marine habitats
Company Lo

10. UNCLOS
Part VII, Section 2 : Conservation and management of the living resources of the high seas
States have duty to take scientific measures on their nationals to protect living resources
Part XII: Protection and preservation of the marine environment
States have obligation to protect and preserve
Have sovereign right to exploit natural resources

11. “Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts”
Goal 13
“Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts”
Missed opportunity
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has complete control
No quantitative goals
Focuses on Green House Gas emissions
Goal 6 does not mention climate impacts on drought
Goal 14 does not mention effects of climate change on ocean acidification
The UNFCCC has complete control…they do a lot of good and have a goal of having developed countries send $100 billion to developing countries for the purpose of combating climate change

12. Strengths and Challenges
The involvement of all stakeholders
Regionally and locally aligned (i.e., generalized and self-regulating)
Challenges
Many developing countries have limited knowledge and/or resources
Enforcement/Transparency
Establishing and maintaining communications between various interests
Implementation conflicts between countries

13. Necessary Progress Technology and knowledge sharing
Creation of economic incentives
Finalization and member ratification of SDGs
Metrics for benchmarking

16. . Water in SDGs <Targets in Goal 6 of SDGs>
- Access to safe and affordable drinking water and basic
sanitation for all
- Implement Integrated water resource management
at all levels
(The mobilization of resources from all sources, capacity-
building and technology transfer can support these efforts)
- Protect and restore water-related ecosystems to maintain
water quality and quantity
- Implement measures to address floods, droughts and
water scarcity
- Implement measures to mobilize financial resources and
investment in infrastructure for water and sanitation
services
- Implement measures to significantly reduce water
pollution and increase water quality
(International assistance and cooperation is needed)
