Sunday 20 August Seminars Closing the Sanitation Loop: Innovative Approaches and Operational Strategies for a Systems Approach to Sustainable Sanitation Convenors: Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI), Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI), Linköping University and Stockholm Water Company Photo: Mats Lannerstad The seminar will address management, policy and institutional dimensions of the water, sanitation and food nexus. The seminar aim is to: • Promote the vital role of sustainable sanitation to deliver nutrients to secure food production and conserve water, and • Diagnose ecological potentials to plan sustainable habitations for the next generations. The seminar will set the scene for the coming 50 years and the anticipated need to rethink links between sanitation, water and food security. The green revolution has provided enough food for the growing world population since the 1950s. This achievement has required massive inputs of fertilisers and water. The looming shortage of water, fertilisers and suitable land combined with increasing pollution of water sources open up the need for new strategies. It is increasingly difficult to maintain the present idea of linear flows of resources for a variety of technical, economic and other reasons. Influences from what is being done in other sectors such as energy and manufacturing may assist in guiding the way forward. A leading idea is to trap valuable ingredients in discharges directly after use, and treat and return them to the production/manufacturing processes. Sustainable sanitation strategies aim at reducing the mixing of flows of materials in order to contain, treat and reuse the water and nutrients. Such a holistic approach is just starting to be applied to water and nutrient flows to enhance sustainable practices. The seminar will bank on these experiences, not the least for urban sanitation to be part of the global nutrient and water cycles. The World Health Organization (WHO) is active in rethinking sanitation and has recently issued guidelines for reuse of greywater, urine and faecal matter. These map out ways that nutrients and water can be recovered, treated and reused. Effective technologies are being developed which take into account local contexts (economic, physical, social etc.). Other management measures relate to selection criteria and processes for sanitation arrangements. The keynote and ensuing speakers will elaborate on this intriguing puzzle to make pieces fit reasonably well to sustainable sanitation requirements. Recommendations from this seminar will be forwarded to the World Water Week Scientific Programme Committee for consideration in the week’s overarching conclusions.

Social and Environmental Change in a Transboundary River Basin: Linking Regional Drivers and Livelihood Vulnerabilities in the Greater Mekong Region Convenor: Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) – Asia Sunday 20 August The Mekong Region – comprised of the five countries of Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Yunnan Province of China through which the Mekong River runs – is a region in transition. The seminar will present ongoing research to identify and analyse high risk areas in the Mekong with the aims to improve scientific and policy ability to identify the most vulnerable populations, provide early warning and intervention strategies for vulnerable situations, support priority set- ting, and increase the effectiveness of vulnerability reduction and poverty alleviation strategies. This work is part of the SEI Poverty and Vulnerability Programme, which undertakes applied research and policy support to address the challenge of reducing human vulnerability to environmental and socio-economic change and to support the overall goals of poverty reduction and sustainable development.
