Water is a key resource that supports the growth of our industries. A large portion of non-domestic demand is concentrated in industrial clusters such as Jurong Island.
There is potential to develop localised sources to meet these needs, through measures such as process water recycling and desalination. In these clusters, there are also opportunities to recover heat for water production.
A promising example is membrane distillation, which taps low-grade steam or waste heat from power stations, incineration plants or industrial processes to supplement the energy requirements for desalination.

Rice is a staple food in Bangladesh. Many farmers in Bangladesh are now growing new rice plant varieties, like Binadahn-7, developed by scientists at the Bangladesh Institute of Nuclear Agriculture (BINA). These scientists have worked closely with the IAEA to develop new plant varieties of crops, such as rice, using nuclear and other conventional plant breeding techniques. These new plant varieties are selected for their improved traits, such as shorter growing times, better tolerance to salty soils, and higher yields. These plants mean farmers can grow more food to feed their families and to sell at the market.

As part of the Côte Sud Initiative, UNEP is working with fishermen in Port Salut and surrounding areas to promote marine ecosystems regeneration and the sustainable management of marine resources while improving the fisheries market, diversifying fisheries products and developing coastal-based eco-tourism activities. The programme - call MER (Marine Environment Regeneration) Sud - aims to help rural coastal communities make the switch from poverty and unsustainable livelihoods to more economically productive and sustainable ecosystem-based livelihoods.

IMO Secretary-General Kitack Lim has highlighted the Organization’s strong commitment to helping achieve the UN SustainableDevelopment Goals and explained how shipping and ports can play a significant role in helping to create conditions for increased employment, prosperity and stability through the promotion of maritime trade. Mr. Lim was speaking at a seminar as part of celebrations in Veracruz, Mexico (21-22 August) focused on IMO’s World Maritime Day theme for 2017 –"Connecting Ships, Ports and People".
The Secretary-General also discussed IMO measures to reduce harmful emissions from ships, the management of ballast water and goal-based standards. He was hosted by the Secretary of the Navy (SEMAR), Admiral Commander in Chief Vidal Francisco Soberón Sanz, who introduced the strategy and capabilities of the Mexican Maritime Authority.
The seminar was attended by the maritime authorities of Argentina, Chile, Panama and the United States, as well as representatives from the Tokyo Memorandum of Understanding on Port State Control, World Maritime University (WMU) in Sweden, the IMO International Maritime Law Institute (IMLI) in Malta, and various national government ministries.
The celebrations also included an opportunity for participants to observe a search and rescue exercise and to visit Mexico’s Naval Academy.
