Global status on water-related ecosystems and acceleration needs to achieve SDG6 target 6 by 2030

While humans may be responsible for driving ecosystem changes, they are also able to find solutions using available data to make informed decisions.

Keeping ecosystems healthy will help address these crises and allow the world to “make peace with nature”. Now is the time for action.
