Climate change, emerging contaminants, population growth, and urbanization represent acute challenges to the provision of safe drinking water globally. Membranes are among the best available treatment technologies for sustaining access to safe drinking water in the face of these challenges, and will play a key role in realizing United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6.1: `By 2030, achieve universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water for all´. Continued research and development is required for membrane technologies to reach their full potential, and enable humanity to meet the most pressing drinking water needs today and into the future.
