Clean Water and Sanitation
Our work and activity in relation to 'Clean Water and Sanitation', one of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
The University of Dundee hosts the UK’s only United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Category 2 Water Centre. We work internationally on some of the world’s most urgent problems across multiple sectors and environments and maintain links to an international network of water scholars.
Our research projects are directly relevant to many of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly to Goal 6, to 'ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all'.
