The water sector is critically important, considering water scarcity on the island. Turkish Cypriot and the Greek Cypriot municipalities of Nicosia are cooperating on wastewater treatment of the city. In addition, actions like the potential use of liquid waste from slaughterhouses as biogas and installation of a system for disposal of animal carcasses and animal by-products can provide new opportunities of cooperation.

By looking wastewater as a raw material rather than as a waste product we can invest to a more sustainable future and ensure the water supply across the island.

The development of a model that is sustainable for this and future generations offers the best way forward to create a better world, by ending poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity. Sustainable development and climate action are linked – and both are essential to the present and the future of the humankind. It is, therefore, vital that the international community meet the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). There are 17 SDGs which have targets to be achieved by 2030. UN is calling countries - developed and developing - for a global partnership. As the Technical Committee on Environment, we would like to support this call and connect you with the relevant SDGs information below. With just one click you can identify all17 SDG’s and to learn more about their goals and targets.
