Series title SDG 6.4 – Monitoring Sustainable Use of Water Resources Papers

Series number n/a

Synopsis (short abstract) These guidelines are intended to assist countries to participate in the assessment of SDG 6.4.2 on water stress by contributing data and information on environmental flows (EF). These data are necessary for calculation of the SDG 6.4.2 indicator on water stress, for which countries are required to submit information to FAO who is custodian of this SDG indicator. The guidelines provide a minimum standard method, principally based on the Global Environmental Flows Information System (GEFIS) , which is accessible via http://eflows.iwmi.org, and is the approach that will be used to generate the country EF data that will make up the global 6.4.2 report. Countries that have more comprehensive and accurate EF data will be able to make use of that data when checking the global dataset produced by FAO and also to add additional details to their Voluntary National report on SDG 6.4.2.

    Incorporação dos caudais ambientais no indicador 6.4.2 sobre “stress hídrico”
    Diretrizes para um método padrão mínimo para a elaboração de relatórios globais
    2022

    Estas diretrizes destinam-se a ajudar os países a participar na avaliação do ODS 6.4.2 sobre o stress hídrico, contribuindo com dados e informações sobre os caudais ambientais (EF – environmental flows). Estes dados são necessários para o cálculo do indicador de stress hídrico do ODS 6.4.2, para o qual os países são obrigados a apresentar informações à FAO, que é a guardiã deste indicador do ODS. As diretrizes fornecem um método padrão mínimo, baseado principalmente no Sistema Global de Informação de Caudais Ambientais (GEFIS), que pode ser consultado em http://eflows.iwmi.org, e é a abordagem que será usada para gerar os dados de EF do país que irão compor o relatório no âmbito do 6.4.2 a nível global. Os países que têm dados de EF mais abrangentes e precisos poderão fazer uso desses dados ao verificar o conjunto de dados globais produzidos pela FAO e também adicionar detalhes complementares ao seu relatório Nacional Voluntário no âmbito do ODS 6.4.2.

    Progress on the level of water stress
    Global status and acceleration needs for SDG indicator 6.4.2, 2021
    2021
    Also available in:
    The global indicator on water stress tracks the level of pressure that human activities exert over natural freshwater resources, indicating the environmental sustainability of the use of water resources. A high level of water stress has negative effects on social and economic development, increasing competition and potential conflict among users. This calls for effective supply and demand management policies. Securing environmental flow requirements is essential to maintaining ecosystem health, resilient, and available for future generations. This indicator addresses the environmental component of target 6.4. In this report, you can learn more about the progress on the level of water stress globally, by country, and by major basin. More information and the methodological guidance can be found at: www.fao.org/sustainable-development-goals/ indicators/642 This report is part of a series that tracks progress towards the various targets set out in SDG 6 using the SDG global indicators.
