UN SDGs relevant to CTWs

	Aim	Potential opportunities for CTWs to contribute
UN SDG 3: Good health and well-being	Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages	Improving recreational bathing waters Connecting people with nature by providing walking routes and public green and blue space
UN SDG 6: Clean water and sanitation	Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all Target 6.3: By 2030, improve water quality by reducing pollution, eliminating dumping and minimising release of hazardous chemicals and materials, halving the proportion of untreated wastewater and substantially increasing recycling and safe reuse globally Indicator 6.3.2: Proportion of bodies with good ambient water quality	Improving water quality in receiving water bodies, increasing their status Protecting downstream habitats and industries reliant on clean water such as fisheries, water sports centres and commercial abstractors
UN SDG 11: Sustainable cities and communities	Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable	Providing amenity value and a place for education and tourism opportunities. These can be promoted by actively involving the local stakeholders during all phases of development
UN SDG 13: Climate action	Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts	Lower carbon dioxide approach to water treatment rather than traditional grey infrastructure Potential to reduce flood risk
UN SDG 14: Life below water	Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development	Reducing nutrient pollution of estuaries and coastal waters
UN SDG 15: Life on land	Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss	Improving biodiversity and reducing loss and degradation of aquatic biodiversity Supporting terrestrial ecosystems that are reliant on the aquatic ecosystems
