United Nations SDG 6 – Clean Water and Sanitation

About this course

This course on SDG 6 – Clean Water and Sanitation allows you develop a holistic and global understanding of the challenges we face with ensuring all people have access to clean water, and how we handle the crucial health and environmental issues around sanitation all in the context of the 2030 Agenda.
