Cover photo from Al Wakra, Qatar. ii Advancing Sustainable Development Foreword The Qatar National Vision 2030 (QNV 2030), launched in October 2008 by His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Heir Apparent, defines long-term development outcomes for Qatar, and provides a framework within which national development strategies and implementation plans can be prepared. The QNV 2030 is based on the Guiding Principles of Qatar’s Permanent Constitution and is underpinned by four interrelated pillars: Human Development: development that expands the opportunities and capabilities of all the people of Qatar to enable them to sustain a prosperous society; Social Development: development of a just and caring society based on high moral standards and supportive social policies, and where Qatar plays a significant role in the global partnership for development; Economic Development: development of a competitive and diversified economy capable of meeting the needs of, and securing a high standard of living for, all its people both for the present and for the future; and Environmental Development: management of the environment such that there is harmony between economic growth, social development and environmental protection – the three dimensions of sustainable development. Each of these Pillars has clearly defined long-term outcomes with important interlinkages. To achieve these outcomes and remain true to its values, Qatar has committed to balance five critical challenges: (i) modernization and preservation of traditions; (ii) the needs of this generation and the needs of future generations; (iii) managed growth and uncontrolled expansion; (iv) the size and quality of the expatriate labour force and the selected path of development; and (v) economic growth, social development and environmental management. Qatar has, and continues to make, conspicuous progress in improving human development – moving from 57th to 34th out of 179 countries in the United Nations Development Programme’s (UNDP) Human Development Index between 1997 and 2006 (as reported in 2008). Human and economic development and the protection of the environment are competing demands that must be reconciled with each other. Exceptionally high economic growth, too rapid urban development and high population growth can have an adverse impact on sustainable development. In order to minimise risks, Qatar has adopted several initiatives to protect its natural environment, including projects to monitor air and water quality, reduce carbon emissions and maintain biological diversity. Nevertheless, Qatar is facing major environmental challenges that need to be appropriately resolved, particularly achieving water security, reducing carbon emissions and increasing energy efficiency, and mitigating risks that threaten the safety of the marine environment. Assessing the severity of risks and dealing with anticipated changes will require mobilizing resources, coordinating efforts and putting appropriate policy and regulatory frameworks in place. As part of GSDP's efforts to support the achievement of the QNV 2030, and cognizant of the growing national and international imperative to address environmental challenges, in June 2008 GSDP decided to begin the preparations of Qatar’s Second Human Development Report (HDR), Advancing Sustainable Development, focusing on sustainable development themes. Qatar’s first HDR, The State of Qatar 2006, reviewed the various dimensions of human development. Chapter 1 iii This 2009 HDR identifies issues and challenges related to three critical environmental stress points for Qatar, namely, (i) water security; (ii) threats to the marine environment; and (iii) the effects of climate change. If left unattended, these concerns have the potential to halt or reverse the significant development progress that the nation has achieved thus far. Maintaining progress, especially in the midst of the current severe global and financial crisis, necessitates addressing these sustainable development challenges. The 2009 HDR thus concludes with a set of recommendations that will help overcome the challenges. These recommendations will be carefully reviewed by key stakeholders, and following refinement, will serve as inputs to preparing Qatar’s first National Development Strategy 2010 - 2015. Qatar’s efforts in protecting the environment will not be sufficient on their own. Qatar is a part of the Gulf region, which constitutes an ecological system that is affected by the practices and activities of every country in the region. Thus, Qatar is playing and will continue to play a proactive and significant regional and international role in efforts to promote sustainable development. Qatar’s second HDR was prepared in strong partnership with relevant ministries and government agencies, the private sector, civil society and the UNDP Abu Dhabi office. It has benefited from the guidance of a multi-stakeholder National Steering Committee. It is based on several background papers commissioned by GSDP and the outcome of a national seminar, ‘Towards Achieving the Environmental Outcomes of the QNV 2030’, which was held on 27 January 2009. In conclusion, I would like to sincerely thank Sheikh Hamad bin Jabor bin Jassim Al-Thani, Director General, GSDP, Chair of the National Steering Committee, for his leadership and professionalism in preparing this HDR. I would also like to thank all members of the HDR Project Report Team (listed on page v) for their tremendous efforts, commitment and professionalism in putting this publication together, as well as those persons who contributed background papers. Special appreciation is extended to members of the National Steering Committee and UNDP for providing helpful comments on an earlier draft of this Report. I am sure that the analysis and recommendations that it contains will prove to be useful in the context of the preparations of Qatar’s first National Development Strategy, as well as to policy makers and planners outside of Qatar interested in promoting sustainable development.

  • The Water-Energy-Food Nexus in Arid Regions: the Politics of Problemsheds
    The Water-Energy-Food Nexus in Arid Regions: The Politics of Problemsheds Oxford Handbooks Online The Water-Energy-Food Nexus in Arid Regions: The Politics of Problemsheds Martin Keulertz, Jeannie Sowers, Eckart Woertz, and Rabi Mohtar The Oxford Handbook of Water Politics and Policy Edited by Ken Conca and Erika Weinthal Subject: Political Science, Regional Studies Online Publication Date: Dec 2016 DOI: 10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199335084.013.28 Abstract and Keywords Systems of producing, consuming, and distributing water, energy, and food involve trade- offs that are rarely explicitly considered by firms and policymakers. The idea of the water-energy-food “nexus” represents an attempt to formalize these trade-offs into decision-making processes. Multinational food and beverage firms operating in arid regions were early promoters of nexus approaches, followed by aid donors, consultancies, and international institutions seeking a new paradigm for resource management and development planning. The first generation of nexus research focused on quantitative input-output modeling to empirically demonstrate interdependencies and options for optimizing resource management. This chapter employs a different approach, analyzing institutional “problemsheds” that shape the implementation of nexus initiatives in arid regions of the United States, the Persian/Arabian Gulf, and China. Our analysis reveals how nexus approaches are conditioned by property rights regimes, economic growth strategies based on resource extraction, and the ability to externalize environmental costs to other regions and states. Keywords: Water-energy-food nexus, resource management, development, arid regions, China, United States, Persian/Arabian Gulf Introduction The water-energy-food nexus has emerged as a widely discussed concept in development policy circles in recent years.
