Dear Doug,
the short blog only mentions a few of the issues related to SDG2 and not to SDG6. It appears that the goals and targets do fall well short of what many had hoped, but there seem to be so many shareholders in this process that no one can be really happy with the outcome. It was clear for SDG2 as well that a series of strong constituents had added lots of unnecessary material while key issues, such as a focus on the first 1000 days for nutrition or the mixing of targets that focus on sustainability with those that do not slipped through. There is still hope for the indicators but it seems that the train for goals and targets has left the station. I also believe that tradeoff analysis will be useful to show some of the contradictions across goals and targets. Regards, Claudia
