Improving the framework conditions to facilitate investments in water Presenting Author: Co-Authors: Dr. Astrid Michels, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit, GIZ, Germany Ms. Elaine Cheung, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit, Germany Keywords water, energy, susainable infrastructure, climate change Highlights • Introduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) reducing technologies to water and wastewater companies • Support climate protection efforts in the water sector using a cross-sectoral approach known as the urban nexus (water-energy-food) • Development of strategies for a climate-resilient, low-emissions water sector taking into account all components of the urban water system. Introduction and objectives Water and sanitation infrastructure play a major role in the development and growth of local economies. In many developing and emerging countries, water and wastewater utilities are among the largest energy consumers due to high losses of water and energy inefficiency. This will be further exacerbated, as global water demand for water will increase by 55 %, while water availabilty is estimated to decrease by 40 %. Green growth comprises fostering development and economic growth as well as ensuring the continuation of natural assets to provide resources and environmental services on which not only human well-being, but all ecosystems rely. Methodology approach The project Water and Wastewater Companies for Climate Mitigation (WaCCliM) aims to improve the policy, regulatory and institutational framework of utilities for the integration of emission reduction measures in the water sector. WaCCliM focuses on the wider dissemination of the urban nexus approach, the support for the implementation of national mitigation strategies and the introduction of appropriate financing strategies. With regards to achieving the SDGs and promoting sustainable infrastructure, an enabling environment that facilitates green investments in the water sector, needs to be created. Such green investments include: 1. Low carbon, climate reslient infrastructure, 2. Sustainable management of natural resources Analysis and results The WaCCliM project builds capacity and strengthens public sector institutions to develop green policies and leverage financial resources for a low carbon climate resilient water At the local level, WaCCliM supports pilot utilities in developing countries and emerging economies to reduce their CO2-footprint through energy and nutrient recovery, water reuse and water loss reduction. At the national level, WaCCliM works with policy makers in the partner countries to improve the regulatory and policy framework to strengthen public sector institutions and develop policies for financing and implementing climate mitigation measuer in the water sector. The establishment of frameworks for financing municipal infrastructure is becoming increasingly important. Water funds as well as the strengthening of development banks and the promotion of private investment in the sector improve sustainable infracture. An acceptable legal framwork protects both, the ambitions of the state and the interests of the investor. At the international level, WaCCliM develops a knowledge platform on climate smart water solutions and scales-up knowledge on water and climate mitigation which favors sustainable infrastrucutre, through the Energy Performance and Carbon Emissions Assessment and Monitoring (ECAM) tool. Effective implementation helps advocate for improved financing mechanisms, and political incentives to replicate the successes of pilot Seminar: Sustainable infrastructure for inclusive green growth 126
Conclusions and recommendation The water sector has many aspects that make a substantial contribution to the presevation of natueral resources and green growth realistic. This requires framework conditions for a sustainable, forward-looking water policy. Best practices on the development of scalable projects that measurably reduce GHGs are disseminated and replication and up-scaling of GHG-reduction approaches on national, regional and international levels promoted.
