Water for a Sustainable World
The WWDR 2015 demonstrates how water resources
and services are essential to achieving global sustainability. Taking account
of economic growth, social equity and environmental sustainability, the
report’s forward-looking narrative describes how major challenges and change
factors in the modern world will affect – and can be affected by – water
resources, services and related benefits. 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.
