– the ‘bottom billion’ – in countries considered too risky by lenders to fund provision of basic water, sanitation and modern energy services and nutrition (Box 1.3). International agencies also have programmes to help increase efficiency in public spending and to ensure that the regulatory framework in a country is strong enough for public–private partnerships to function to the benefit of society. The international community can bring actors together and play a catalytic role in supporting national, subnational and local governments as well as utility providers, who have a major role in how the water–energy nexus plays out at the national and relevant local levels. Though the energy and water service sectors function in different ways, external support can help authorities in charge of public policy formulation, regulation, planning and financing as well as utilities in both sectors learn from each other in their reform processes and provide a space to work with each other to realize efficiency gains and plan for future demands. The same is true for the relationship between the United Nations and the private sector. The UN Global Compact’s CEO Water Mandate35 provides a platform to facilitate private sector support to governments and society at large in order to realize overall economic results, social benefits and environmental protection. One approach would be to assist companies in the formulation, development, implementation and disclosure of appropriate water sustainability policies and practices as they relate to energy. Without reliable monitoring data, it is difficult to devise good projects, programmes and policies (Chapter 4). If countries are expected to collect new types of data and include water–energy indicators, particularly when developing a post-2015 development agenda, the international community needs to help strengthen the collectors and distributors of primary data in countries – including national statistics agencies and water, energy and environmental authorities and users. Strengthening data collection entities and disclosing the gains of water and energy policies can eliminate blind spots in water and energy management, facilitate better public policy formulation, increase the visibility of co-benefits, and provide the basis for an open dialogue when difficult trade-off decisions need to be taken. The increasing synergy between water and energy can drive change and innovation. The international community can play a key role in resolving this multifaceted issue. Its voice is needed to ensure that sustainability and equity are factored into decisions about the use of resources nationally as well as internationally. Transboundary cooperation, international trade and regional energy grids can all be vehicles for delivering benefits to nations and their people. The independent and strong voice of the international community can help ensure that social and environmental messages get through, alongside economic considerations, to target the ‘triple bottom line’ of overall economic progress, social equity and environmental protection. 35 For more information, see http://ceowatermandate.org/ (Accessed Apr 2013) 108 CHAPTER 15 RESPONSES: FOSTERING SYNERGIES AND MANAGING TRADE-OFFS
