Over the next 15 years countries will mobilize efforts to end all forms of poverty,fight inequalities and tackle climate change, while ensuring that no one is left behind.The goals were officially adopted at a UN summit in New York in September 2015, andbecame applicable from. In March 2016, the United Nations Statistical Commission’sInteragency and Expert Group on SDG Indicators (IAEG-SDGs) agreed on 230 individual indicators to monitor the 17 goals and 169 targets of the SDGs.

ABOUT THE UN AND PROJECT GROUPS“We have identified those goals and targets that are directly andindirectly relevant to ISWA.”The SDGs contain a number of targetsaddressing explicitly and implicitly thetopic of waste and resource management,marking an advance of this topic to theglobal development agenda. Since theSDGs are expected to be used by nationalgovernments to frame their agendas andpolicies over the next 15 years, the wasteand resource management topic is expectedto be included in these national development agendas and policies. As waste andresource management rises up on thepolitical agenda, this means opportunitiesfor ISWA and its members – increaseddemand for knowledge, technologies andmarkets. ISWA should seize the opportunity to communicate to the internationaldevelopment community and national andregional governments what and how ISWAcan contribute to achieving the SDGs. Indoing so, ISWA will be more widely recognised and sought after by the internationaldevelopment community, national andregional governments and any relevantstakeholders – more opportunities for ourexisting members and more attractions tonew members.It is under this framework that the exerciseof identifying the SDGs and their targetsthat are relevant to ISWA’s work was initiated. We started by identifying, in general,those SDGs and targets that are directlyand indirectly relevant to ISWA. Then therelevant SDGs and targets that each ofISWA’s activities and projects are contributing to are identified. Eventually, allfuture projects of ISWA are going to beanalysed to assess their links with theSDGs and their targets, which will be communicated to relevant partners as widelyas deemed suitable according to ISWA’scommunication strategies.

GOAL NO 12:Responsible consumptionand productionGoal 12 is about ensuring sustainableconsumption and production patterns.One of the specific targets of this goal is toreduce per capita food waste by 50%.Today 1,3 billion tons of food waste isgenerated per annum. Another targetinvolves environmentally sound management of chemicals and wastes, and wasteminimization.RESPONSIBLECONSUMPTIONAND PRODUCTIONGOAL NO 3:good health and wellbeingPromoting and developing sustainablewaste management is what we do. Westrive to create an Earth where no wasteexists and where no people are harmed bywaste in any way. In this way we supportgoal number 3, which is about good healthand well-being.By 2030, substantially reduce the number of deaths and illnesses from hazardousGOOD HEALTHAND WELL-BEINGchemicals and air, water and soil pollutionand contamination.

GOAL NR 6:Clean water andsanitationOne of the reasons we work to end dumping and other unsafe ways of dealing withwaste, especially hazardous waste, is so thatclean water is protected.By 2030, improve water quality by reducing pollution, eliminating dumping andminimizing release of hazardous chemicalsand materials, halving the proportion ofuntreated wastewater and substantiallyCLEAN WATERAND SANITATIONincreasing recycling and safe reuse globallyBy ending bad practices we can make ‘cleanwater for all’ a realistic possibility.GOAL NO 13:Climate actionEveryone has a part to play when it comesto climate change and ISWA is no exception. We have an opportunity to contributemassively to the reduction in greenhousegas emissions; we believe the waste sectorcan potentially reduce net global emissionsby up to 15-20%.Improve education, awareness-raising andhuman and institutional capacity on climateCLIMATEACTIONchange mitigation, adaptation,impact reduction and early warning.

GOAL NR 7:AFFORDABLE AND CLEANENERGYBy 2030, increase substantially the share ofrenewable energy in the global energy mix.By 2030, enhance international cooperation to facilitate access to clean energy research and technology, including renewableenergy, energy efficiency and advanced andcleaner fossil-fuel technology, and promoteinvestment in energy infrastructure andclean energy technology.AFFORDABLE ANDCLEAN ENERGYBy 2030, expand infrastructure and upgrade technology for supplying modernand sustainable energy services for all indeveloping countries, in particular leastdeveloped countries, small island developing States, and land-locked developingcountries, in accordance with their respective programmes of support.GOAL NO 11:Sustainable citiesand communitiesISWA promotes sustainable cities and communities, therefore waste management isvital to any functional urban environment.By 2030, ensure access for all to adequate,safe and affordable housing and basic services and upgrade slums.By 2030, reduce the adverse per capita environmental impact of cities, including bypaying special attention to air quality andmunicipal and other waste management.SUSTAINABLE CITIESAND COMMUNITIES

GOAL NO 17:PARTNERSHIPS FORTHE GOALSPARTNERSHIPSFOR THE GOALS“ISWA can really make a difference through sound waste management.”Enhance international support for implementing effective and targeted capacitybuilding in developing countries to supportnational plans to implement all the sustainable development goals, including throughNorth-South, South-South and triangularcooperation.Enhance the global partnership for sustainable development, complemented by multistakeholder partnerships that mobilize andshare knowledge, expertise, technology andfinancial resources, to support the achievement of the sustainable development goals inall countries, in particular developing countries.GOAL NO 8:DECENT WORK ANDECONOMIC GROWTHImprove progressively, through 2030, globalresource efficiency in consumption and production and endeavor to decouple economicgrowth from environmental degradation, inaccordance with the 10-year framework ofprogrammes on sustainable consumption andproduction, with developed countries takingthe lead.DECENT WORK ANDECONOMIC GROWTH
