Drug pollution has a significant impact on the Sustainable Development Goals, yet it has not been adequately addressed.
The United Nations set The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which includes the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a collection of 17 global goals designed to be a blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. Although only mentioned in one of the seventeen goals (goal 3), we argue that drugs in general, and growing drug pollution in particular, affects the SDGs in deeper, not readily apparent ways. So far, the emerging problem of drug pollution has not been sufficiently addressed. Here, we outline and discuss how drug pollution can affect SDGs and even threaten their achievement.
