The document discusses the water dispute over the Disi aquifer between Jordan and Saudi Arabia. It provides background that the aquifer is non-renewable and is being pumped by both countries for their water projects. Jordan has previously accused Saudi Arabia of overpumping. The document applies the "TWINS analysis" to examine the conflict historically and analyze the relationship between the two countries. It assesses factors like political and economic issues, levels of cooperation, and different faces of power in their dynamic over the shared water source. It concludes the TWINS analysis is useful but has limitations, and is an approximative tool for comparing case studies.

It discusses how investing 2% of global GDP into key economic sectors could help transition the world economy onto a more environmentally sustainable path. The sectors discussed include agriculture, fisheries, water, forests, renewable energy, manufacturing, waste, buildings, transport, tourism, and cities. Transitioning to a green economy in these sectors could catalyze economic activity comparable to business as usual, while reducing environmental risks and increasing resource efficiency. The report also examines what policy changes and enabling conditions would be needed to support a global shift towards a green economy.

Virtual Water Interactions in Transboundary Water Francesca Greco
This document discusses the importance of virtual water in transboundary cooperation and water politics. It analyzes two case studies: (1) export-led agricultural schemes in the Nile Basin that have shifted power balances, and (2) Jordan's Disi pipeline that was originally used for virtual water exports but now supplies domestic water. The author argues that virtual water flows, managed by private actors, can alter water allocation and international relations, making food-water interactions an important but often overlooked part of water policy analysis in transboundary basins. Accounting for virtual water trades and investments is key to understanding dynamics in major river systems worldwide.

14. Evaluation of the TWINS analysis:
• good for historical patterns analysis of conflicts
• useful for combinating economical and political
issues together
•Approximative for the economic part ( economic
robustness ranking is one-dimention-data
only, and this implies the utilization of a
one-dimentional indicator)
• good tool for comparing case studies
