540:ダボス会議始まる

早いものでダボス会議が始まった。世界恐慌やハイチ支援などが目立ち、水の問題はあまり目立たないが無論継続されている。下記に水に係る情報を記録しておく。09年の報告書もあり、ホームページからダウンロードできる。70ページほどの内容である。IWRMという全く表現はなし、integratedという表現は僅かに7ヵ所のみ。当然と言えば当然である。良識がある。

World Economic Forum Water Initiative

Managing Our Future Water Needs for Agriculture, Industry, Human Health and the Environment

The Bubble Is Close to Bursting
Water is the gossamer that links the web of food, energy, climate, economic growth and human security challenges the world faces over the next two decades. We simply cannot manage water in the future in the same way we have in the past or the economic web will collapse. This is the stark warning of a forecast released by the World Economic Forum.

“The water problem is broad and systemic. Our work to deal with it must be so as well. The problem is that we have no coordinated global management authority for water in the UN system or the world at large. The World Economic Forum’s effort to develop the economic and geopolitical forecast on water is essential. For the first time, all the different perspectives and expertise required to define the full dimension of the problem and propose solutions are brought together”, Ban-Ki Moon, Secretery General, United Nations, New York.
