A9781780405520Paperback / softback. New. The world is becoming increasingly global. This raises important challenges for regulatory processes which still largely emanate from domestic jurisdictions. In order to eliminate unnecessary regulatory divergences and to address the global challenges pertaining to systemic risks the environment and human health and safety governments increasingly seek to better articulate regulations across borders and to ensure greater enforcement of rules. But surprisingly the gains that can be achieved through greater co-ordination of rules and their application across jurisdictions remain largely under-analysed. This volume complements the stocktaking report on International Regulatory Co-operation: Rules for a Global World by providing evidence on regulatory co-operation in the area of transboundary water management and through the fast development of transnational private regulation. paperback

A9781780408132Paperback / softback. New. Climate change is expected to increase the frequency and magnitude of extreme weather events notably of droughts and floods to which the agriculture sector is particularly exposed. While agricultural productivity growth and policy development have allowed to better cope with these risks and reduce overall impacts on the sector and commodity markets there is substantial room to improve policy responses and co-ordinate across policy domains including with respect to water rights and allocation weather and hydrological information innovation and education and insurance and compensation schemes. Indeed drought and flood risks are likely to become a major policy concern as increasing population will increase the demand for food feed fibre and energy not to mention the competition for water resources and urbanisation will increase the demand for flood protection and mitigation raising the issue of the allocation of flood risks across sectors and areas. paperback
A9781780407593Paperback / softback. New. This report focuses on the urban water management challenges facing cities across OECD countries and explores both national and local policy responses with respect to water-risk exposure the state of urban infrastructures and dynamics and institutional and governance architectures. The analyses focus on four mutually dependent dimensions - finance innovation urban-rural co-operation and governance - and proposes a solutions-oriented typology based on urban characteristics. The report underlines that sustainable urban water management will depend on collaboration across different tiers of government working together with local initiatives and stakeholders. paperback
A9781780405742Paperback / softback. New. This publication sets out the challenge for freshwater in a changing climate and provides policy guidance on how to navigate this new "waterscape". It examines the range and complexity of possible changes in the water cycle and the challenges of making practical on-site adaptation decisions for water. It offers policymakers a risk-based framework and guidance to "know" "cap" and "manage" water risks in order to provide flexibility and improve decisions despite the lack of reliable predictions. It draws insights from a stock take of current policy efforts to adapt water systems across all 34 member countries and the European Union including water-related aspects of National Adaptation Plans and Strategies specific policy measures and financing programmes. Finally the report examines the use of economic instruments to promote adaptation e.g. insurance schemes water markets and banks water pricing incentives for 'green' infrastructure and ecosystem-based approaches and financing issues. paperback
A9781780408248Paperback / softback. New. Urban demographic and climate trends are increasingly exposing cities to risks of having too little too much and too polluted water. Facing these challenges requires robust public policies and sound governance frameworks to co-ordinate across multiple scales authorities and policy domains. Building on a survey of 48 cities in OECD countries and emerging economies the report analyses key factors affecting urban water governance discusses trends in allocating roles and responsibilities across levels of government and assesses multi-level governance gaps in urban water management. It provides a framework for mitigating territorial and institutional fragmentation and raising the profile of water in the broader sustainable development agenda focusing in particular on the contribution of metropolitan governance rural-urban partnerships and stakeholder engagement. paperback
A9781780407616Paperback / softback. New. Water resources allocation determines who is able to use water resources how when and where. It directly affects the value economic ecological socio-cultural that individuals and society obtain from water resources. This report overviews how allocation works in a range of countries and how the performance of allocation arrangements can be improved to adjust to changing conditions. Capturing information from 27 OECD countries and key partner economies the report presents key findings from the OECD Survey of Water Resources Allocation and case studies of successful allocation reform. It provides practical policy guidance for water allocation in the form of a "health check" which can be used to assess the performance of current arrangements and manage the transition to improved regimes. paperback
