FOREWORD by Michel Jarraud Chair of UN-Water and Secretary-General of WMO In my capacity as Chair of UN-Water, I am pleased to present this year’s edition of the World Water Development Report (WWDR). As the reference publication of the UN system on the status of the freshwater resource, the WWDR is a praiseworthy example of the UN system working and delivering as one. Indeed, the Report is a flagship publication of UN-Water – the UN inter-agency coordination mechanism on all freshwater-related issues, including sanitation – and the 31 UN-Water Members and 36 other international Partners have worked together to deliver the coherent and integrated response of the UN system to freshwater-related issues and emerging challenges. The WWDR 2014 is the fifth report in the series and it marks a milestone as the first annual edition. The WWDR was originally a triennial report which provided an overall picture of the state, uses and management of the world's freshwater resources. In late 2011 and early 2012, an extensive survey was carried out to assess the expectations on the Report and the needs of the global community. The consensus from the immense number of responses from all parts of the world indicated that an annual, factual and more concise publication with a specific thematic focus was needed. The structure of the Report was therefore redesigned and it is UN-Water’s hope that the findings and conclusions will serve to provide a broad public – from politicians and decision-makers to practitioners – with the latest information and examples of how water-related challenges are addressed around the world. In addition to this, starting from this year 2014, the theme of the WWDR and that of World Water Day will be harmonized to provide a deeper focus and an enhanced attention. This harmony, by design, will help putting the important World Water Day topics high on the international agenda. In this year’s edition, the WWDR highlights that water and energy are highly interdependent and lie at the core of sustainable development. It is clear that choices made in one domain can have significant impacts on the other – with both positive and negative repercussions. Increasing demand for freshwater and energy over the coming decades will greatly amplify existing challenges worldwide. This calls for innovative and pragmatic policies prioritizing more efficient and cost effective management of water and energy services in an integrated way. I highly commend all my UN-Water colleagues who took active part in development of this Report. I would also like to express my profound appreciation to the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) for hosting the World Water Assessment Programme (WWAP), which has been coordinating the production and publication of the UN- Water WWDR. Finally, I would also like to thank the Government of Italy for its commitment and support to WWAP. I sincerely believe that the findings and messages presented in this Report will inform the discussions around the Post-2015 Development Agenda and help the international community commit to poverty eradication and sustainable development beyond 2015.
