This document contains summary sheet on water and low carbon development. Water is vital for economic and social progress in developing nations, and the core natural resource for sustaining an ecological balance in human ecosystems. The low carbon economy could overcome some barriers to achieving water security goals, but it could also challenge water security.

<p>This UNEP report communicates the current status of the world’s urgent issues -- climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution-- and opportunities to solve them</p>
This report outlines how residents of cities are responsible for as much as 80% of global greenhouse gas emissions while at the same time facing significant impacts from climate change. It says that up to 80 percent of the expected $80 billion to $100 billion per year in climate change adaptation costs will likely be borne by urban areas.
Biochar is the carbon-rich organic matter that remains after heating biomass under minimization of oxygen during a process called pyrolysis. Biochar is relevant to deforestation, agricultural resilience,
An interdisciplinary approach is necessary to ensure that food, energy and climate are jointly addressed, trade-offs considered, and appropriate safeguards are put in place. These issues will not be addressed
The food sector accounts for around 30 percent of global energy consumption and produces over 20 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, according to a new FAO report released at the climate talks
