The GRoW joint research projects are helping in a variety of ways to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As well as developing and testing innovative approaches to achieving the goals, the projects are also devising concepts and key figures for evaluating progress on the goals. For GRoW, the focus is on SDG 6 (“ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all”). Working together, the projects will address issues related to achieving SDG 6 and will leverage synergies to create an effective network that will strengthen and effectively demonstrate the ways in which the individual projects and the overall GRoW funding measure are helping to make the SDGs a reality.
