    Water accounting & auditing guidelines
    A sourcebook
    2017
    Also available in:
    In many regions of the world, sustainable and reliable delivery of water services has become increasingly complex and problematic. Complexities that are very likely to increase, considering the unprecedented confluence of pressures linked to demographic, economic, dietary trends, and climate change. Particularly if overall demand for freshwater exceeds supply, the delivery of water services is often less about engineering, although engineering is still required, and more about politics, governa nce, managing and protecting sources, resolving conflicts about water, ensuring rights to water are respected, and so on. It is also about understanding and monitoring the hydrological cycle at the appropriate scale of analysis. This is where water accounting and auditing can play a crucial role. The rationale behind this water accounting and auditing sourcebook is that scope exists worldwide to improve water-related sectoral and inter-sectoral decision-making at local, regional and national le vels. Water accounting and auditing are recommended by FAO and others as being fundamental to initiatives that aim to cope with water scarcity. This sourcebook aims to provide practical advice on the application and use of water accounting and auditing, helping users planning and implementing processes that best fit their needs.

    Changement climatique et nutrition: Table ronde sur la politique et la recherche sur l'action intégrée climat-nutrition, 5 février 2025 2025
    Also available in:
    Dans le cadre du projet GCP/GLO/1266/FRA-F, en collaboration avec le Gouvernement de la France, FAO a organisé une table ronde sur le climat et la nutrition intitulée « Table ronde sur la politique et la recherche sur l'action intégrée climat-nutrition» le 5 février 2025. L’événement a réuni environ 1 300 participants, en présentiel et en ligne, et a accueilli des intervenants de renom, notamment des Représentants permanents, des responsables gouvernementaux, des chercheurs de premier plan ainsi que des hauts responsables d’agences de l'ONU et d’organisations de la société civile. Au cours de trois heures d’échanges, une présentation conjointe a exposé les dernières données, statistiques et preuves sur l’impact des actions intégrées climat-nutrition, suivie de discussions approfondies explorant les principales options et opportunités politiques ainsi que les axes de recherche prioritaires.Cette brochure présente les principaux enseignements tirés des interventions et des discussions en panel, enrichis de citations sélectionnées des intervenants. Ces messages clés mettent en avant la base factuelle des liens entre le changement climatique et la nutrition, l’impact des actions intégrées climat-nutrition, les expériences positives et pratiques prometteuses, ainsi que les lacunes en matière de preuves identifiées par les intervenants. Ce résumé concis et percutant vise à faire progresser les actions intégrées dans les secteurs du climat, de l’agroalimentaire et de la nutrition.
