The JMP and the UN-Water Global Analysis and Assessment of Sanitation and Drinking-Water (GLAAS: http://glaas.who.int/) are responsible for monitoring of drinking water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) including for SDG targets 6.1 and 6.2 (JMP) and 6.a and 6.b (GLAAS). Together, the JMP and GLAAS teams have launched a two-year project to identify indicators for monitoring ‘climate resilient water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH)’ at the global level, to support progressive integration of information on climate resilience into national and global frameworks for monitoring WASH.
Following a public consultation in November 2025, the JMP and GLAAS teams have produced this short list of indicators to monitor climate-resilient WASH (version 5.3).
The 5.3 list includes a total of 105 candidate indicators, which have been grouped into Set A (46 indicators) and Set B (59 indicators). Set A indicators are those that the JMP and GLAAS teams are committed to developing further so that they could eventually be used for global monitoring. Set B consists of candidate indicators that hold promise for future indicator development, but have not been prioritized by the JMP and GLAAS teams. Some Set B indicators require more detail and context than are appropriate for global monitoring, and would be better suited for national or subnational monitoring.
