Catalyzing Water for Sustainable Development and Growth provides an evidence-based analysis of options to incorporate water in the SDGs. It takes stock of how water relates to social and economic development, how it figured in the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and what this means for the response to global water challenges after 2015. It also examines the investments required to provide water for sustainable development and inclusive economic growth, and what some of the implementation challenges and opportunities might be.
