Water Poverty and Sustainable Development in México
Main Article Content
Abstract
Sustainable development is a priority objective in contemporary societies. In this context, the un has established clear limits for the ecological footprint of countries. Mexico, with moderate and extreme water poverty levels, obtained a score of 57/100 points, positioning it as one of the most polluting countries in the world and moving away from the goals of the 2030 Agenda. This scenario requires nations, especially developed ones, to be more responsible in their investments in developing countries. The implementation of innovative technologies for water supply and sanitation, aligned with un proposals, is crucial to move towards a sustainable future and meet global commitments.
