Synopsis

Welcome to the second issue of New Water Policy and Practice Journal. On 22nd March 2015 – the 22nd World Water Day – the United Nations released its World Water Development Report: Water for a Sustainable World. In his Foreword, Ban Ki-moon, Secretary-General of the UN, referred to the fact that this report: “...illustrates the complex linkages between water and critical areas such as human health, food and ener- gy security, urbanization, industrial growth and climate change.” In her foreword, Irina Bokova, Director- -General of UNESCO, also noted that the report “...comes at a critical moment, when freshwater resources face rising pressure to provide for the social, economic and environmental needs of a growing world population...More than two decades after the first summit on sustainable development, many countries still face the challenges of eliminating poverty and promoting economic growth, ensuring health and sanitation, preventing land degradation and pollution, and advancing rural and urban development. Around 748 million people today still do not have access to an improved source of drinking water, and water demand for manufacturing is expected to increase by 400 per cent between 2000 and 2050 globally.” As pressure on the world’s water resources increases, the issues are growing and connecting, changing from local to regional and even global challenges. These interconnections at all scales are increasingly the focus of attention for the world’s water managers and the communities that their work aims to support. The need for new water leaders and innovations in water management is abundantly apparent. In this issue we also introduce a new section in which we aim to share inspiration about new water leadership and thinking from recent key water events, such as conferences and workshops.
