Book (series)Considerations on how SDG target 6.4 is reflected in Voluntary National Reviews
Integrated Monitoring Initiative for SDG 6
2024Also available in:
No results found.The report is a preliminary study to examine the status in the Voluntary National Reviews (VNR) of SDG 6 in general, and target 6.4 indicators 6.4.1 and 6.4.2 in particular, and to assess their significance in the reporting process both on the national and subregional scale. The review aims to provide information to support the improvement of the VNR process and the VNR reports and strengthen accountability around the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target 6.4. In addition, this information will help Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) provide better and more targeted support and policy recommendations to individual United Nations (UN) Member States on how to report on SDG indicators 6.4.1 and 6.4.2.The report consists of several sections. First, the VNR are introduced, and the report provides a global status of VNR in general. Next, a description of the background and context of SDG 6 and SDG indicators 6.4.1 and 6.4.2 is provided. Then, an overview is presented on the methodology used to assess countries’ performance with respect to reporting on SDG 6 and SDG indicators 6.4.1 and 6.4.2. Thereafter, the report presents the inter-regional comparisons based on an established scoring system and evaluates gender linkages. Finally, the study closes with recommendations and conclusions. Although the analysis has been carried out at country level, the results are only presented at global and regional level. -
Book (stand-alone)Progress on change in water-use efficiency
Global status and acceleration needs for SDG indicator 6.4.1, 2021
2021The global indicator on water-use efficiency tracks to what extent a country’s economic growth is dependent on the use of water resources, and enables policy and decision-makers to target interventions at sectors with high water use and low levels of improved efficiency over time. This indicator addresses the economic component of target 6.4. In this report, you can learn more about the global and country progress on water-use efficiency. More information and methodological guidance can be found at: www.fao.org/sustainable-development-goals/ indicators/641 This report is part of a series that tracks progress towards the various targets set out in SDG 6 using the SDG global indicators.

Book (series)Water stress plugin for Water Evaluation and Planning system (WEAP)
Using the water evaluation and planning tool for the calculation of Sustainable Development Goal indicator 6.4.2
2024This report presents the instruction manual of the new water stress plugin developed by FAO in collaboration with the Stockholm Environment Institute's U.S. Center (SEI) for the calculation of the SDG indicator 6.4.2 “Level of water stress: freshwater withdrawal as a proportion of available freshwater resources” by river basin.Since the indicator was introduced in 2015, it has been used widely to estimate the level of water stress experienced at the country or regional level. With this new plugin, countries will be able to assess SDG 6.4.2 at the basin and sub-basin levels providing a different and more hydrologically sound view on the dynamics of water resources and their use. The plugin allows exploring the spatial and interannual trends of the level of water stress within a basin avoiding any multiple counting of its freshwater resources and taking into consideration the needs of water supply of the different sections of the basin. By supporting the improvement of water monitoring and management, this report contributes to the achievement of SDG 6.
