Abstract
China has fully implemented and progressed far towards the completion of the relevant goals of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and has actively participated in the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2016 (SDG6). This chapter summarizes SDG6 under three headings: drinking water safety, environmental sanitation, and water resources management. Mainly employing the latest and most authoritative data, it summarizes China’s plans and achievements for the successful completion of SDG6 since the implementation of SDGs. The differences between urban and rural areas are considered. Policies and regulations formulated in different years and the results achieved step by step are discussed in detail. In this way we hope to provide some method reference and experience for the smooth implementation of global SDG6.
