Clean Water and Sanitation de Walter Leal Filho

Clean Water and Sanitation: Encyclopedia of the UN Sustainable Development Goals

Editat de Walter Leal Filho, Anabela Marisa Azul, Luciana Brandli, Amanda Lange Salvia, Tony Wall
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 iun 2022

Observăm că implementarea soluțiilor integrate pentru gestionarea resurselor de apă a devenit o prioritate critică în contextul Agendei 2030. Volumul Clean Water and Sanitation propune o trecere aplicată de la obiectivele teoretice ale ONU la strategii de execuție, abordând direct țintele SDG 6: acces universal la apă potabilă, îmbunătățirea calității prin reducerea poluării și eficiența utilizării apei în toate sectoarele. Ne-a atras atenția rigoarea cu care editorii, sub coordonarea lui Walter Leal Filho, au structurat cele 1000 de pagini, trecând de la distribuția globală a apei la soluții tehnice precum filtrele ceramice pentru uz casnic. Această enciclopedie completează perspectiva oferită de SDG6 – Clean Water and Sanitation – Balancing the Water Cycle for Sustainable Life on Earth, adăugând o dimensiune tehnică și administrativă mult mai vastă, bazată pe date din teren. În timp ce alte lucrări se concentrează pe politici generale, acest volum analizează mecanisme specifice, cum ar fi monitorizarea prin 'citizen science' în Dublin sau co-managementul resurselor în Camerun. Structura progresivă a cărții facilitează înțelegerea legăturii dintre sănătatea ecosistemelor acvatice (munți, râuri, acvifere) și bunăstarea umană. În contextul operei sale, Walter Leal Filho continuă direcția începută în Handbook of Sustainability Science in the Future, unde analiza impactul creșterii populației asupra resurselor planetei. Dacă în Good Health and Well-Being accentul era pus pe indicatorii de sănătate, aici autorul prioritizează infrastructura și guvernarea apei ca fundament pentru toate celelalte obiective de dezvoltare. Este o resursă academică ce transformă viziunea politică în metodologie de lucru, esențială pentru a înțelege cum poate fi susținută viața într-o lume cu resurse finite.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm acest volum specialiștilor în politici publice, inginerilor de mediu și cercetătorilor care au nevoie de o bază de date exhaustivă despre SDG 6. Cititorul câștigă o înțelegere profundă a tehnologiilor de tratare, a sistemelor de guvernare și a metodelor de cooperare internațională. Este o investiție într-o lucrare de referință Springer care sintetizează soluții globale pentru criza apei, oferind modele replicabile pentru comunitățile vulnerabile.

Despre autor

Walter Leal Filho este un expert recunoscut internațional în educație pentru mediu și dezvoltare durabilă, predând la Hamburg Technical University. Activitatea sa editorială este impresionantă, coordonând proiecte de anvergură precum seria dedicată Obiectivelor de Dezvoltare Durabilă ale ONU. Prin lucrări precum Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security sau Competence Building in Sustainable Development, Filho s-a impus ca o voce autoritară în analiza modului în care societatea umană se poate adapta schimbărilor climatice. Expertiza sa integrează cercetarea academică cu implementarea proiectelor practice la nivel global.

Descriere scurtă

The problems related to the process of industrialisation such as biodiversity depletion, climate change and a worsening of health and living conditions, especially but not only in developing countries, intensify. Therefore, there is an increasing need to search for integrated solutions to make development more sustainable. The United Nations has acknowledged the problem and approved the “2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”. On 1st January 2016, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the Agenda officially came into force. These goals cover the three dimensions of sustainable development: economic growth, social inclusion and environmental protection.  
The Encyclopedia of the UN Sustainable Development Goals comprehensively addresses the SDGs in an integrated way. It encompasses 17 volumes, each devoted to one of the 17 SDGs. This volume is dedicated to SDG 6 "Ensure availability and sustainable management of water andsanitation for all". Water and sanitation are fundamental to human well-being. Integrated water resources management is essential to ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all and to the realization of Sustainable Development.
Concretely, the defined targets are:
  • Achieve universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water for all
  • Achieve access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for all and end open defecation, paying special attention to the needs of women and girls and those in vulnerable situations
  • Improve water quality by reducing pollution, eliminating dumping and minimizing release of hazardous chemicals and materials, halving the proportion of untreated wastewater and substantially increasing recycling and safe reuse globally
  • Substantially increase water-use efficiency across all sectors and ensure sustainable withdrawals and supply of freshwater to address water scarcity and substantially reduce the number of people suffering from water scarcity 
  • Implement integrated water resources management at all levels, including through transboundary cooperation as appropriate
  • Protect and restore water-related ecosystems, including mountains, forests, wetlands, rivers, aquifers and lakes 
  • Expand international cooperation and capacity-building support to developing countries in water- and sanitation-related activities and programmes, including water harvesting, desalination, water efficiency, wastewater treatment, recycling and reuse technologies
  • Support and strengthen the participation of local communities in improving Uwater and sanitation management
