Sanitation development in Indonesia refers to the Sustainable Development Goals, which in 2030 is targeted to ensure the availability and management of clean water and sustainable sanitation for all. The existence of the Covid-19 pandemic has made the clean water and sanitation sector very important in breaking the Covid-19 chain. This paper aims to describe the achievement of sanitation development targets in Indonesia and examine the empirical practice of implementing sanitation during the Covid-19 pandemic. Qualitative methods are used to assess the sanitation sector according to the sixth SDGs Target, namely: clean water and proper sanitation both before the pandemic and during the pandemic. The results of the study show that until 2019, before the pandemic, access to drinking water, wastewater, and sanitation services had been achieved quite well. However, the reduction in open defecation (BABS) and the improvement of clean and healthy living behavior (PHBS) have not been optimal. When the Covid-19 pandemic consumption of clean water increases, attention to wastewater treatment increases, and there are changes in people's behavior to live cleaner lives.AbstrakPembangunan sanitasi di Indonesia mengacu pada Sustainable Development Goals di mana pada tahun 2030 ditargetkan dapat menjamin ketersediaan serta pengelolaan air bersih dan sanitasi yang berkelanjutan untuk semua. Adanya pandemi Covid-19  menjadikan sektor  air  bersih dan sanitasi sangatlah penting dalam memutus mata rantai Covid-19. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan capaian target pembangunan sanitasi di Indonesia dan mengkaji praktik empiris penyelenggaraan sanitasi pada saat pandemi Covid-19. Metoda kualitatif digunakan untuk mengkaji sektor sanitasi sesuai dengan Target SDGs keenam, yaitu: air bersih dan sanitasi layak, baik sebelum pandemi maupun saat pandemi. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa hingga 2019, sebelum pandemi akses terhadap air minum, air limbah dan layanan sanitasi telah tercapai dengan cukup baik. Namun penurunan praktik Buang Air Besar Sembarangan (BABS) dan peningkatan Perilaku Hidup Bersih dan Sehat (PHBS) belum optimal. Saat pandemi Covid-19 konsumsi air bersih meningkat, perhatian pada pengolahan air limbah meningkat, dan ada perubahan perilaku masyarakat untuk hidup lebih bersih.

The SDGs agenda is the outcome of a series of international conferences on the issue of environmental sustainability. A principle of common and differentiated responsibility was endorsed by the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development (1992) and the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, Rio+20 (2012). The political commitments from the world leaders were confirmed during the 3rd International Conference on Financing for Development held in Addis Ababa in July 2015 for a common policy on sustainable development. The goals are broad based and interdependent. Finally the Paris Declaration on Climate Change (2016) paved the way for the adoption of a comprehensive list of goals to be achieved by 2030. Each of the 17 sustainable development goals has a list of targets which are measured with indicators and are interdependent. The present study will be confined to the 6th goal which is ensuring “Clean water and Sanitation” in the Indian context. KEYWORDS: SDGs agenda, Climate Change, employment, sanitation services

AbstractThe Sustainable Development Goals have attracted both defenders and critics. Composed of seventeen goals and 169 targets, the overly broad scope of the SDGs raises the question of whether there are priorities that need to be set within them. This essay considers the SDGs from the perspective of a “basic goods approach” to development policy, which takes a needs-based and basic-subsistence-rights view on policy priorities. It focuses on a subset of SDGs that directly address the provision of nutritious food, clean water, sanitation, health services, education services, and human security services. In doing so, it proposes a set of seven “basic development goals” and ten associated targets. It argues that this more focused approach can better protect basic rights, more effectively contribute to progress on human wellbeing, and make accountability more likely.

In recent years, achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is becoming a major challenge for local governments. This research focuses on the role of Spanish local governments in the fulfillment of SDG-6, which aims to ensure the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all citizens. Specifically, this study analyses the evolution of the efficiency of Spanish local governments, and its determining factors, in the achievement of the SDG-6. The results indicate that the taxes associated with water supply and sanitation services, the private management of these services, population density, local government budget revenues, the income of the inhabitants of the municipality and the fragmentation of local governments are factors that can improve the evolution of the efficiency of Spanish local governments in achieving the SDG-6.

Water resources are an integral part of energy, industry, food and human life. Water efficiency is given a special place in the area of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) promoted by the United Nations (UN). Water is used everywhere in everyday life and in the manufacture of products, which leads to the depletion of the water potential of a country or an entire continent. Currently, companies are actively introducing new standards for water use, keeping records of water consumption, applying innovative technologies to provide water desalination and wastewater treatment. There is a shortage of drinking water in the world, especially in overpopulated countries and the southern regions of the planet. No state can solve water use issues on its own. Currently, countries are focusing on developing technologies for desalination and wastewater treatment plants. These industries are science-intensive, innovative and require raw materials, financial resources and policy favors from the states. On the territory of the Sverdlovsk region of the Russian Federation, all known types of common minerals were found, and a special economic zone the “Titanium Valley” also operates on this territory.

To better leverage opportunities arising out of sustainable and inclusive management of sanitation services there is a need for robust and comprehensive evidence of the wide ranging benefits that sanitation can deliver. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a comprehensive framework for sustainable development broken down into 169 interconnected Targets which are articulated under 17 Goals. Based on a methodology developed at University College London (UCL), this study identifies linkages between sanitation and the 169 Targets corroborated by published evidence. We show that there are synergies between sanitation and all 17 Goals and 130 (77%) of the Targets, and trade-offs for 28 (17%) of the Targets. We identified 83 Targets (49%) that call for action in the sanitation sector. The results demonstrate the far-reaching benefits that can be unlocked from investment in sanitation, which extend beyond health and spread across sectors. The evidence base for the 17 goals establishes links that can inform cross-sectoral action, collaborations and investment across governance levels for integrated sanitation solutions. The research provides different stakeholders with a framework that can be applied to context specific cases and projects. We propose a range of recommendations to policy-makers, practitioners, and researchers who seek to take this study further to help achieve the SDGs.

Abstract India, with over 1.37 billion population and housing one-sixth of the world's inhabitants, has a significant role to play in the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This paper analyses the policies and programmes of the Government of India, towards the achievement of Targets 6.1 and 6.2 of SDG-6 that focus on safe drinking water and sanitation. The alignment of the policies and programmes is discussed in correlation of the output, outcome, and impacts on these targets of SDG 6. The Swachh Bharat (Clean India) Mission (SBM) launched in 2014 led the country with more than 98% of households having access to toilets. The Jal Jeevan Mission has the ambitious target of universal coverage of drinking water supply. While these programmes have led to the overall development, a vast scope of improvement in these sectors exists especially considering the growing population, economic activity, urbanisation, and climate change impacts. Analysis also shows that adequate quantitative and qualitative data on the implementation of the various policies and programmes would be instrumental in synergising the implementation of the SDGs. A systems-thinking approach for sustaining the efforts of the ongoing programmes and ensuring equitable benefits of development in the water and sanitation sectors in India is recommended.
