This book is the Council's "Global Agenda" series ad the second book the Council has published in partnership with the United Nations University Institute of Water, Environmet And Health (UNU-INWEH). This volume is primarily a collection of papers from the Council's 2013 annual meeting in Bahrain, and we are deeply grateful to the Court of the Crown Prince of the Kigdom of Bahrain whose generous support made this publication. Possible.
