Social change innovations, citizen science, miniSASS and the SDGs

Jim Taylor et al.

Summary: The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals provide a framework for addressing poverty, protecting the planet, and ensuring prosperity for all. SDG 6 emphasizes the importance of water quality, quantity, and access to human well-being, but human activities are endangering water resources. Citizen science and co-engaged action learning are considered as more viable alternatives to address these challenges.

Freshwater availability status across countries for human and ecosystem needs

Guilherme Baggio et al.

Summary: As global population continues to grow, water demand is expected to rise, leading to water scarcity becoming a global challenge. By 2050, the majority of countries will experience a sharp decline in per capita water resources, especially in low-income and lower-middle-income countries. Water-scarce countries need to take a series of measures, including water conservation, water recycling, and harnessing the potential of unconventional water resources, to ensure sufficient water supply for human use and ecosystems.
