This chapter examines the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and addresses the importance of water within each of the goals. The fundamental concept of sustainable development is discussed within the growing uncertainties of climate change and global population growth. The SDGs have the potential to form a template for development and the importance of water within each goal is addressed. Finally, a critical review of the SDGs is presented. Some of the contradictions inherent within the SDG agenda are discussed and critically evaluated.
