  1. WWDR3 SIDE PUBLICATIONS Dr. Marwa Daoudy UNESCO-WWAP

  2. Rationale & Background Shorter WWDR3, Enhance contents, visibility and reach of WWDR3, In-depth and wider coverage of key issues, sectors, topics and debates Ongoing process between WWDR3 (2009) and WWDR4 (2012)

  3. Side Publications: An Overlook • 30 suggested side publications from prominent organizations (predominantly from within the UN family) • UNESCO/PCCP, UNW-DPC, WMO, UNDP, UNEP, IFAD, UNU-INWEH , OAS, ICHARM etc. • Wide range of topics, from cooperation to capacity development, IWRM, sanitation, climate change, water-related disasters, water scenarios etc...

  4. Overview • SCIENTIFIC PAPERS: scientific research linked to peer-reviewed publications • INSIGHTS: analysis by contributing authors to WWDR3 expanding on core issues (groundwater, sanitation, etc..) • DIALOGUE SERIES: topics and sectors beyond water to which water is cross-cutting (biodiversity, poverty alleviation, land use, etc..)

  5. 5TH WORLD WATER FORUM First batch: 17 publications have been published alongside the WWDR3 Today’s Panel: 14 papers Discussion/debates around the WWDR3’s key messages

  6. Getting Out of the Box: Linking Water to Decisions about Sustainable Development By achieving social and economic development objectives and sustaining development By properly managing water as a critical resource to survival and well-being of individuals “IWRM Implementation in Basins, Sub-basins and Aquifers: State of the Art Review”, by UNESCO-IHP (Miguel Doria) “IWRM in Action”, by DHI Water Policy and UNEP-DHI Centre for Water and Environment (Henrik Larsen)

  7. Understand what Drives Pressures on Water Demographic, economic and social drivers: inter-linked and interacting Climate change and possible futures “Water Adaptation- Freshwater in Climate Adaptation Planning and Climate Adaptation in Freshwater Planning”, by UNDP (Hakan Tropp) “Climate Changes, Water Vulnerability and Possible Remedies for the Middle East - with a few Selected Cases”, by UNESCO-PCCP (Jon-Martin Trondalen) “Confronting the Challenges of Climate Variability and Change Through an Integrated Strategy for the Sustainable Management of the La Plata River Basin”, by OAS (Cletus Springer/ Jorge Rucks )

  8. Use of Water: Multi-Dimensional Benefits • Evolution of use for industry, energy and development: Water footprints, navigation (including in inland waters) as a critical factor of development and communication. • “Water Footprint Analysis (Hydrologic and Economic) of the Guadiana River Basin”, by Ramon Llamas & Maite Aldaya • “Inland Waterborne Transport: Connecting Countries”, by PIANC (Ian White, Anne McCann)

  9. Use of Water: Multi-Dimensional Benefits • Impacts of water use on water systems and the environment • Manage competition for water and pressure on ecosystems • «Water Security and Ecosystems Services: The Critical Connection», by UNEP (Tim Kasten)

  10. The Evolution of the Resource Global Warming Evolving hazards: floods, erosion, landslides; droughts, loss of wetland; chemical and biological pollution of water quality and in-stream ecosystems “A Multi-Model Experiment to assess and cope with Climate Change Impacts on the Châteauguay Watershed in Southern Quebec”, by Ouranos, University of Munich, & Centre d’Expertise Hydrique du Québec (Luc Vescovi) « Water and Climate Change in Quebec », by Ouranos, Ministry of Transport of Quebec and Hydro-Quebec (Luc Vescovi) « Global Trends of Water-related Disaster - an Insight for Policymakers », by ICHARM (Yoganath Adikari)

  11. Responses and Choices The need for reliable information about the state of the resource and how it is changing in response to external drivers (climate change, water/land use) “Investing in Information, Knowledge and Monitoring” by WWAP Secretariat (James Winpenny)

  12. Options Inside and Outside the Water Box Inside: Institutional development, stakeholder participation and transparency, partnerships and coordination shared benefits; greater institutional capacity (education, public awareness raising..)and human capacity, water governance reform Outside: risk management; identify trade-offs and synergies between water and other policy impacts in all sectors; decisions taken by governments, civil society and business leaders. “Institutional Capacity Development in Transboundary Waters”, by UNW-DPC (Charlotte van der Schaaf) “Water and Climate Change: Citizen Mobilization, a Source of Solution”, by ISW ( (Marie-Joëlle Fluet)

  13. The Way Forward Get beyond unsustainable development and inequitable access to water resources Achieve social and economic development objectives and sustain development Properly manage water resources as critical to survival and well-being of individuals Increase investment in water infrastructure and capacity development Combine efforts between leaders in the water domain (know-how) and leaders in government, the private sector and civil society (decision-makers on devlopment objectives and allocation of human and financial resources)
