Summary: "The WWDR 2014 marks the transition of the series to an annual publication cycle with a theme for each year -- 'Water and Energy' for 2014. This edition of the Report seeks to inform decision-makers within and beyond the water-energy nexus about the interconnections and interdependencies between water and energy; the inevitable trade-offs experienced when providing water and energy for basic human needs and to support sustainable development; and the need for appropriate responses that account for both water and energy priorities, particularly in the context of post-2015 targets on increasing access to water and energy. It provides a detailed overview of major and emerging trends from around the world, with examples of how some of these have been addressed and the implications for policy-makers, and actions that can be taken by various stakeholders and the international community"--Back covers.
