Launch of World Water Development Report announced
The United Nations World Water Development Report (WWDR) 2014 on Water and Energy seeks to inform decision-makers (inside and outside the water and energy domains), stakeholders and practitioners about the interlinkages, potential synergies and trade-offs, and to highlight the need for appropriate responses and regulatory frameworks that account for both water and energy priorities.
The Report provides a comprehensive overview of major and emerging trends from around the world, with examples of how some of the trend-related challenges have been addressed, their implications for policy-makers, and further actions that can be taken by stakeholders and the international community.
The Report will be launched on 21 March 2014 during the main celebrations of World Water Day in Tokyo, Japan.
