Although substantial progress has been made to expand access to safe drinking water and sanitation, there are still billions of people (mainly in rural areas) who still lack of these basic services. Worldwide, one in three people do not have access to safe drinking water, two in five people do not have a basic facility for handwashing with soap and water. Universities must raise awareness and train employees and suppliers on the importance of efficient use and sustainable management of water and chemical products in manufacturing processes.

How does the University of León contribute to the achievement of this objective?

Somos Agua II Project: research applied to the development and diversification of bioeconomy associated with traditional knowledge and other endogenous resources in the RBVOyL. 

It is coordinated by the RBVOyL itself, working as a team in the territory together with the Agricultural Technological Institute of Castilla y León and the University of León, until December 2025.
Since 2020, the RBVOyL has been working on its climate change adaptation plan and studying the effects of the decrease in water resources on the main economic sectors of the territory through the installation of sensors and data analysis on farms linked to the RBVOyL brand with the possibility of adapting a new development of bioeconomic activity, linked to the primary sector and the natural resources characteristic of these mountain areas, to climate change and the social reality of the territory, giving the RBVOyL and the rest of the Biosphere Reserves of the Cantabrian Mountains an opportunity to maintain their character as a laboratory for sustainability granted by UNESCO.
