Mitigating Droughts and Floods in Agriculture: Policy Lessons and Approaches
ISBN: 9781780408132 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 76 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. 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...

Water and Cities: Ensuring Sustainable Futures
ISBN: 9781780407593 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 182 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. 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.

Water Resources Allocation: Sharing Risks and Opportunities
ISBN: 9781780407616 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. 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...

International Regulatory Co-operation: Case Studies, Vol. 3
ISBN: 9781780405520 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 107 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. 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...

Drying Wells, Rising Stakes – Towards Sustainable Agricultural Groundwater Use
ISBN: 9781780407968 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Groundwater has provided great benefits to agriculture irrigation in semi-arid OECD countries, but its intensive use beyond recharge in certain regions has depleted resources and generated significant negative environmental externalities. The report provides a characterisation of the diversity of groundwater systems, reviews policies in OECD countries, and proposes a package of recommendations to ensure that groundwater can sustain its services to agriculture and contribute to climate change adaptation.

Water Governance in Cities
ISBN: 9781780408248 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 142 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. 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...

Human Acceleration of the Nitrogen Cycle: Managing Risks and Uncertainty
ISBN: 9781789060430 / Angielski / Miękka / 2019 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This publication examines the risks associated with the release of excessive nitrogen into the environment (climate change, depletion of the ozone layer, air pollution, water pollution, loss of biodiversity, deterioration of soil quality). The report also examines the uncertainty associated with the ability of nitrogen to move from one ecosystem to another and cause "cascading effects". In addition to better management of nitrogen risks at the local level, there is a need to consider the global risks associated with the continued increase in nitrous oxide concentrations and to prevent excess...

Diffuse Pollution, Degraded Waters: emerging policy solutions
ISBN: 9781780408781 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 122 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. After decades of regulation and investment to reduce point source water pollution, OECD countries still face water quality challenges (e.g. eutrophication) from diffuse agricultural and urban sources of pollution, that is disperse pollution from surface runoff, soil filtration and atmospheric deposition. The relative lack of progress reflects the complexities of controlling multiple pollutants from multiple sources, their high spatial and temporal variability, associated transactions costs, and limited political acceptability of regulatory measures. This report outlines the water quality...

The Governance of Water Regulators
ISBN: 9781780407654 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 116 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The establishment of dedicated regulatory bodies in charge of regulating water services, whilst being recent, is nevertheless a consistent trend among OECD and non-OECD countries. This report presents a picture as of September 2014 of the governance arrangements, operational modalities and use of regulatory tools across a sample of 34 established water regulators. It relies on the OECD Best Practice Principles for Regulatory Policy: The Governance of Regulators to structure the information collected through a survey exercise. It has been developed in close co-operation with the OECD Network...

Water Security for Better Lives
ISBN: 9781780405766 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 174 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This publication examines the critical issues surrounding water security (water shortage, water excess, inadequate water quality, the resilience of freshwater systems), providing a rationale for a risk-based approach and the management of trade-offs between water and other (sectoral and environmental) policies.
The report sets out a three-step process to "know," "target" and "manage" water risks: (1) appraising the risks, (2) judging the tolerability and acceptability of risks and weighing risk-risk trade-offs, and (3) calibrating appropriate responses. The publication provides... This publication examines the critical issues surrounding water security (water shortage, water excess, inadequate water quality, the resilience of fr...
