Progress on the level of water stress
Author: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Publisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 925134826X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 96
Book Description
The global indicator on water stress tracks the level of pressure that human activities exert over natural freshwater resources, indicating the environmental sustainability of the use of water resources. A high level of water stress has negative effects on social and economic development, increasing competition and potential conflict among users. This calls for effective supply and demand management policies. Securing environmental flow requirements is essential to maintaining ecosystem health, resilient, and available for future generations. This indicator addresses the environmental component of target 6.4. In this report, you can learn more about the progress on the level of water stress globally, by country, and by major basin. More information and the methodological guidance can be found at: www.fao.org/sustainable-development-goals/ indicators/642 This report is part of a series that tracks progress towards the various targets set out in SDG 6 using the SDG global indicators. To learn more about water and sanitation in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and the Integrated Monitoring Initiative for SDG 6, visit our website: www.sdg6monitoring.org

A Study on the Relationship between the Level of Social Expenditure and National Burden and the Economic Competitiveness

CHAPTER 1 Introduction 1. Issues at hand and the need for this study 2. Purpose 3. Content CHAPTER 2 Previous Studies and Theoretical Background 1. Literature Review 2. Theoretical Background CHAPTER 3 Data Source and Analysis Methodology 1. Data Source 2. Analysis Methodology CHAPTER 4 Analysis Outcome 1. Categorization of 'Low-level, Low-welfare' and 'High-level, High-welfare' 2. Enablers and Economic Status and Competitiveness CHAPTER 5 Conclusion and Policy Implications References The current financial crisis in Southern Europe is not only posing a threat to the valuation of the euro but also raising concern over the sustainability of the European welfare model. Bolstered by continuous economic growth in the wake of World War II, European states have managed to develop a high-burden/high-benefit welfare model. However, amid aging society driven by low birth rates and an extended life expectancy as well as the recent sluggish economic growth, high spending and dwindling incomes inevitably followed, triggering government deficits to surge. Consequently, European countries including the financially vulnerable Greece, Spain, Portugal and Italy have introduced and are still implementing a range of restructuring measures such as a cut in pension/healthcare benefits, lifting of the eligible age for retirement, etc. in an effort to tackle the budget crisis facing them. As a result, skeptical views on the sustainability of their high-burden/high-benefit model have ensued. One of motivations behind this study is our recognition that such assessment can be too facile. It is true that of Europe's typical high-burden, High-benefit platforms, the ones employed by some Southern European countries are currently under scrutiny, yet the welfare models prevailing in Northern Europe are positively reviewed by global comparison, thus casting little doubt over their sustainability for now. Even for the welfare model of continental European countries, a mixture of views are present. Specifically, little concern is raised about Germany as it has successfully taken proactive actions for welfare reform as opposed to France. Having said that, we believe it is not fair to criticize the whole European welfare system just because the welfare models adopted by southern European countries are struggling with the matter of sustainability. The key to the present issue is not only the size of tax burden and welfare spending but the relation between welfare-enabling economic fundamentals and the level of social issues deemed tolerable. Any welfare model adopted by a country can be viewed appropriate, regardless of high-burden, High-benefit or low-burden/low-benefit, as long as it is selected by people through a political process and managed at a level that withstands social issues while forming a virtuous cycle with the underlying economy. Another factor considered significant for maintaining welfare at a sustainable level is whether the relevant country has the capacity to properly respond when the dynamically selected welfare model encounters any problems.In this respect, it appears unreasonable to simply regard the latest welfare reform triggered by fiscal deficits in Europe as the discarding of European welfare framework. For a prudent judgment, an overall analysis should be conducted for any selections made in the process of politics, a virtuous cycle forged between the underlying economy and healthcare/welfare, degrees of social issues managed by the welfare system, government's response to problems, etc. In this study, we'd like to proceed with our discussion based on the recognition that a virtuous cycle of welfare and economy is most crucial. To this end, it is important to identify regular patterns between the level of welfare spending and tax burden, and the economic competitiveness.
