Following the overview, which reviews progress in the implementation of the Environment strategy, the report presents viewpoints on ways to move forward in delivering water as committed in South Africa, but also reflecting on the need for a more integrated approach to water resources management. Various other articles feature the Bank's new water resources strategy, and environmental flows, that is, from linking catchments to coasts in water resources management, to protected areas as tools for water conservation, and management. Regional articles describe progress in implementing the environment strategy, and supporting client's efforts in promoting appropriate environmental policies, and programs. Highlights from the International Finance Corporation (IFC) scan efforts to promote private sector investment in water supply and sanitation, and environmental improvements, while efforts by the World Bank Institute (WBI) inform on training and learning activities that sponsor policy, and knowledge-sharing as it relates to the environment.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO MARKETSACCESS TO SAFE DRINKING WATERAIR POLLUTIONAVAILABLE WATERCARBONCARBON DIOXIDECARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONSCARBON EMISSIONSCFCSCHILD MORTALITYCHLORINECHLOROFLUOROCARBONSCIVIL SOCIETYCLEAN FUELSCLEAN WATERCLIMATE CHANGECLIMATIC VARIABILITYCOASTAL AREASDEBTDISTRIBUTION OF WATERDROUGHTECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHEFFICIENT USE OF WATEREMISSION REDUCTIONSENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTSENVIRONMENTAL COSTSENVIRONMENTAL HEALTHENVIRONMENTAL ISSUESENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTENVIRONMENTAL POLICIESENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCESEXTREME POVERTYFINANCIAL RESOURCESFISHFISHINGFORESTRYGASGOOD GOVERNANCEHEALTH CAREHOUSEHOLDSHUMAN WELL-BEINGINCOMEIRONLANDLAND DEGRADATIONLAND TENURELOW-INCOME COUNTRIESLOWER LEVELS OF GOVERNMENTMANAGEMENT OF WATERMARINE RESOURCESMORTALITY RATENATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENTNATURAL RESOURCESOILOZONEPIPELINEPOLICY RESEARCHPOLLUTIONPOLLUTIONPRIVATE SECTORPRODUCERSPRODUCTIVITYPROPERTY RIGHTSPROTECTED AREASRESOURCE USERESOURCESRIVERSRURAL WATERSAFE WATERSAFE WATER SUPPLYSANITATIONSANITATION FACILITIESSTRUCTURAL ADJUSTMENTSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSUSTAINABLE USESUSTAINABLE WATERTARIFF SETTINGURBAN AIR POLLUTIONUTILITIESWATERWATERWATER CONSERVATIONWATER DEVELOPMENTWATER INFRASTRUCTUREWATER MANAGEMENTWATER POLICIESWATER RESOURCESWATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENTWATER SCARCITYWATER SECTORWATER SERVICESWATER SUPPLYWATERSHEDWETLANDS ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTSTRATEGIC PLANNINGANNUAL REVIEWSWATER RESOURCES CONSERVATIONWATER SUPPLY & SANITATIONWATER RESOURCES ALLOCATIONPROTECTED AREASWATER MANAGEMENTRIVER BASINSCATCHMENT AREAS (WATER)WATER DELIVERYNATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENTENVIRONMENTAL POLICYPARTNERSHIPSPRIVATE SECTOR INVESTMENTSENVIRONMENTAL TRAINING & MANAGEMENT PROGRAMSKNOWLEDGE SHARINGREGIONAL COORDINATIONWorld Bank10.1596/15075https://doi.org/10.1596/15075
