The SDGs

Adopted by the United Nations in 2015, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity.

In 2018, the University of Manitoba was designated as the Hub for SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitization. Institutions from around the world are designated as UNAI hubs for three-year renewable terms. UM will continue to advance research, analysis and policy for clean water and sanitation in our classrooms, on our campuses and in our communities.

UM has many research areas and initiatives that fall within SDG 6, some examples of which include:

Interdisciplinary research on water systems to help build sustainable, resilient communities in Manitoba and across Canada, including research with Indigenous communities, management of water quantity and quality issues and the impact of climate change on our water systems

Projects on clean water, and water and sanitation security, that consider the needs of Indigenous communities with the active participation of those communities

Our commitment to water conservation and protection through ongoing monitoring of operational water use
