‘Climate action’ and ‘Clean water and sanitation’ are two interconnected Sustainable Development Goals (6 & 13). Climate change has negative effects on all aspects of the human right to water: water’s availability, quality, accessibility, affordability and acceptability. Fulfilment of Sustainable Development Goals is measured by Indicators elaborated by different kind of organs and institutions. Indicators pertains to different factors and may lead to normative consequences. As instruments of global governance they require more transparency and participation in order to foster legitimacy and effectiveness Goals’ achievement. Reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) are examples of “governance by indicators”. The main content of reports is data syntheses of various factors influencing climate evolution. However, they contain “summaries for policymakers” of unequivocally normative character based on the interpretation and generalisation of data analysis. Explanation of climatological analyses, convincing theory of probability is required in order to gain stronger civil societies’ conviction for more dynamic action.

“气候行动”和“清洁水和卫生设施”是两个相互关联的可持续发展目标（6 和 13）。气候变化对水权的所有方面都有负面影响：水的可用性、质量、可及性、可负担性和可接受性。可持续发展目标的实现是通过不同类型的机关和机构制定的指标来衡量的。指标涉及不同的因素，可能会导致规范性后果。作为全球治理的工具，它们需要更高的透明度和参与度，以促进实现目标的合法性和有效性。政府间气候变化专门委员会 ( IPCC) 的报告) 是“指标治理”的例子。报告的主要内容是对影响气候演变的各种因素的数据综合。然而，它们包含基于数据分析的解释和概括的明确规范特征的“决策者摘要”。气候学分析的解释，需要令人信服的概率理论，以获得更强大的公民社会对更有活力的行动的信念。
