Natural Resources Water and Energy

The Timber and Forest Study Papers encompasses sustainable forest management as well as the sound and legal use of forest products, for raw material and energy, and forest services. The objective is to assist member countries by: providing the best available information; facilitating policy dialogues and communication; and building capacity. The series is the product of a collaborative endeavour between the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

UNECE’s work on sustainable energy is designed to improve access to affordable and clean energy for all and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the carbon footprint of the energy sector in the region. It promotes international policy dialogue and cooperation among governments, energy industries and other stakeholders. The focus is on energy efficiency, cleaner electricity production from fossil fuels, renewable energy, coal mine methane, natural gas, classification of energy and mineral reserves and resources, and energy security.

Les travaux de la CEE-ONU concernant l’énergie durable visent à améliorer l’accès à une énergie propre et abordable pour tous et à contribuer à réduire les émissions de gaz à effet de serre ainsi que l’empreinte carbone du secteur énergétique de la région. Ils favorisent le dialogue politique international et la coopération entre gouvernements, industries énergétiques et les autres parties prenantes. L’accent est mis sur l’efficacité énergétique, la production d’électricité plus propre à partir de combustibles fossiles, les énergies renouvelables, le méthane des mines de charbon, le gaz naturel, la classification des réserves et ressources énergétiques et minérales ainsi que la sécurité énergétique.

This series is a source of overall consumption statistics of energy commodities in all sectors and provides detailed information on production, trade and consumption of electricity, net installed capacity and thermal power plant input and efficiency for selected countries. It provides energy balances for a specific number of developing countries, showing production, trade, conversion and consumption in energy units for all energy products. It also contains electricity profiles for a specific number of countries, providing detailed information on production, trade and consumption of electricity, net installed capacity and thermal power plant input for selected developing and developed countries.

The WWDR is an annual and thematic report that focuses on different strategic water issues each year and aims to provide decision-makers with the tools to implement sustainable use of our water resources. It also includes regional aspects, hotspots, examples and stories, making the report relevant to a broad range of readers, at different levels and in different geographical areas. The WWDR was originally a triennial report and the first four editions were launched in conjunction with the World Water Forum in 2003, 2006, 2009 and 2012. The triennial version provided an overall picture of the state, uses and management of the world’s freshwater resources. In 2012, the decision was taken to revise the scope of the report and improve its format in order to better meet the needs of its readers with an annual, more concise publication that is increasingly facts-based and has a more specific thematic focus.

These reports annually focus on multiple strategic water issues. They aim to provide decision-makers with tools to implement sustainable use of our water resources. They include various regional aspects, hotspots, examples and stories, which make them relevant to a broad range of readers in various regions of the world. The reports were originally triennial and the first four editions were launched in conjunction with the World Water Forum in 2003, 2006, 2009 and 2012. Over time, the reports became increasingly facts-based and acquired a more specific thematic focus.
