Title
UNESCO - Water in a changing World: The United
Nations
World Water
Development
Report 2
Abstract
In 1999 the United Nations system resolved to issue regular editions of The United Nations
World Water Development Report. An expert group, convened by the United Nations Department
of Economic and Social Affairs, developed recommendations for the objectives
and targeted audience of the report.
The first edition, The United Nations World Water Development Report: Water for People,
Water for Life, was released in March 2003 at the 3rd World Water Forum in Kyoto,
Japan. The second, Water, a Shared Responsibility, was released in March 2006 at the 4th
World Water Forum in Mexico City. The first report provided an inaugural assessment of
progress since the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development
in Rio de Janeiro. Both reports were based on key challenge areas (such as water for food,
water for energy, and challenges for governance). Stand-alone assessments were prepared
by UN agencies. The assessments included pilot case studies on which the Report drew in
developing appropriate assessment methodologies and lessons learned.
