3 Why is water important? The global demand for water has been increasing at a rate of about 1% per year over the past decades as a function of population growth, economic development and changing consumption patterns, and it will continue to grow significantly over the foreseeable future Today, 1 of 6 people globally do not have access to clean water Water issues are the most serious sustainability challenges facing the planet Source: The CEO Water Mandate Guide to Responsible Business Engagement with Water Policy

4 Addressing Water Issues Today, water issues are the most serious sustainability challenges facing the planet. 32,000 people from 15 countries found for the first time in recent history that concerns about water and water pollution have outpaced concerns about other well recognized sustainability challenges such as global climate change, natural resources depletion and biodiversity loss. To address the growing water issue, and as responsible organizations, several Indonesian-based companies and NGOs committed ourselves for water conservation and water stewardship by pledging to the:

10 World Water Day Commemorations WWD 2012: Launching of UNESCO Water Report WWD 2013: Water Detective WWD 2014: Water & Energy WWD 2015: Flood Prevention Rio + 20 Sustainability Summit WWD 2016: Water and Sustainable Development

11 Collaborative on-the-ground Project: Community Waste Bank in Penjaringan Utara Garbage in upstream area Annual flooding Turning waste into family income

12 Community-based water solutions Project: Community Education to Raise Awareness of Water Security and Water Quality in Small Islands: Study Case in Pari Island (2016) The small island has limited fresh water supply (increasingly brackish and contaminated) & waste management problem Opportunity: LIPI s research on SIMBAT for clean water Collaborative engagement with IGCN, UNESCO & Habitat for Humanity

13 Objectives: - raise the community awareness - improve community participation - provide recommendation to local government in addressing community water challenges in small island Implementation: - Training on WASH and waste management by HfHI - Workshop by LIPI on water resource management Children s session Biopore demonstration WASH training for children

14 Community leaders consultation Involvement of children and women

15 Result: Increased community awareness on water & waste management Identified other community-based water solutions Recommendation for future action: Sustainable ecotourism

16 to find the most appropriate blend of nature-based and man-made investments to maximize benefits and system efficiency

17 Goal: To promote economic growth, resilience and sustainable future for the island and its community Immediate objectives: To address the community water and waste issues To link environmental preservation with economic growth through ecotourism To provide support and recommendations to the local government regarding water and waste issues Potential to introduce renewable energy

18 Assessment on Potential Island Geographic Analysis Pari Island Lancang Island Tidung Island Pramuka Island 38.3 km from Mainland Jakarta Area: Ha 25.1 km from the mainland or 8.7 km south-west of P. Pari is the main administrative centre of the Pari Village Area: ha 12.1 km north-west of Pari Island. Consists of 2 islands: Tidung besar and Tidung kecil. Total Area: 109 Ha 12.4 km north of Pari Island. Area: ha. It is the administrative center of the Thousand Island district. Economic 80% of population are fishermen during weekdays. During weekends they switched to tourism as tour guides, homestay hosts, tour organiser, etc. Tourist influx peaked during weekends (up to 3x of the population) Challenges Ongoing land status in dispute with the private sector (PT Bumi Pari Asri) Limited supply and access to fresh water Lack of waste management, large volumes of waste washed out from mainland Opportuniti es Increasingly popular tourist destination Provide access to alternative water sources Potential to improve the quality of homestay Development of arts and culture for ecotourism Development of home industry to achieve creative and independent economy Sea conservation e.g. mangrove planting Main livelihood is fishermen. Currently no tourism due to lack of sandy beaches. The island was appointed as a residential island by the government. Densely populated About 70% of the house is inadequate due to the absence of water supply and/or toilet facilities Under developed as a tourism destination Improving the appropriate housing facilities Promotion of water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) Development of the fishing industry (fresh and salted fish) Tourism potential for coral reef activties 70% works as fishermen. The land use has been shifted towards marine tourism e.g. diving and coral research. Lack of water and waste management Tourist influx during weekends meant increased waste output Without proper education, growing tourism activities may pose a threat to the marine habitats Expansion of tourism industry, towards ecoturism Community education around sanitation and water management, as well as providing the proper infrastructure Mangrove planting for coral reef and marine conservation Popular tourist destination. The island also has an on-site fish auction facilities and has better infrastructure facilities in comparison with the other neighbouring islands. Sea water intrusions makes the ground water inaccessible Low rainfall High waste volumes from tourism and washed out from mainlands No waste management facility and infrastructure Conservation of the endangered penyu sisik (hawkswbill turtle) Mangrove planting along the beach to prevent erosion Promote and develop waste sorting facilities, introduce Trash Bank, composter or recycling facilities
