Policy context and targets

Context description

The WEI is part of the set of water indicators published by several international organisations, such as the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), Eurostat and the Mediterranean Blue Plan. The WEI is also used to measure progress towards UN SDG target 6.4 at the global level (UN, 2021). Therefore, the WEI is an internationally accepted indicator for assessing the pressure of the economy on water resources, i.e. water scarcity.
