2 UNIDO United Nations Industrial Development Organization promote and accelerate inclusive and sustainable industrial development in developing countries and economies in transition (UNIDO Lima Declaration, December 2013) Poverty Reduction trough Productive Activities Trade Capacity Building Energy and Environment

3 Green Industry Initiative Greening of Industries Helping enterprises improve resource productivity and environmental performance Efficient use of materials, energy and water Reduction of wastes and emissions Safe and responsible management of chemicals, renewable raw materials Phasing out toxic substances Substituting fossil fuels with renewable energy sources Product and process redesign, Green Chemistry Creating New Green Industries Establishing new operations delivering environmental goods and services Reduce, reuse and recycle (3R) industries Pollution control technology and equipment Renewable and energy-efficient technologies Waste management and resource recovery Environmental advisory and analytical services

4 UNIDO water mandate Enhance water productivity in industry and prevent discharge of industrial effluents into international waters (rivers, lakes, wetlands and coastal areas) thereby protecting water resources for future generations. Sustainable management of ecosystem resources Transfer of Environmentally Sound Technologies (TEST) for improving water productivity and better water and resource management Protection of environment and human health from toxic pollutants mercury and others

5 The Nexus between Water and Energy Energy production consumes significant amounts of water; providing water, in turn, consumes energy. In a world where water scarcity is a major and growing challenge, meeting future energy needs depends on water availability and meeting water needs depends on wise energy policy decisions. (World Policy Institute and EBG Capital, March 2011)

6 Energy needs water Energy production depends on water some 580 billion cubic metres of freshwater are withdrawn for energy production every year (IEA, 2012) Water is used for primary energy production as well as power generation esp. for cooling at thermal power plants Extraction, transport and processing of fuels and irrigation to grow biomass feed-stock are also waterintensive Key uses of water for primary production (IEA, 2012) 6

7 Water needs energy Energy is vital to providing freshwater needed to power systems that collect, transport, distribute and treat water. (US Department of Energy, 2006) 7

8 Decision-making at the Nexus: The Key Challenge for post-2015 Development Framework and SDGs Energy decisions have a broad range of impacts on water, with consequences for business, security, environment, social equity and development. Identifying these interrelationships presents opportunities for policy makers, business leaders, investors, non-governmental organizations for informed policy and governance to address related problems and global challenges (e.g. climate change, food and energy security or eliminating poverty). 8

10 Challenges Global energy demand is expected to grow by more than one-third over the period to 2035, with China, India and the Middle Eastern countries accounting for about 60% of the increase. Electricity demand is also expected to grow by approximately 70% by 2035 Global water demand (in terms of water withdrawals) is projected to increase by some 55% by 2050, mainly because of growing demand from manufacturing(400%), thermal electricity generation (140%) and domestic use (130%) It is not surprising that the 5 th World Water Development Report identifies industry as one of the thematic challenges in addressing the water and energy nexus.

11 5th World Water Development Report - solutions to tackle challenges improving water use efficiency; extending wastewater treatment; recycling and reuse; enhancing effective water governance; appropriate transboundary cooperation

12 Transfer of Environmentally Sound Technologies - TEST Methodology Objective: Support sound management of resources use at priority industrial hot spots, to minimize use of resources and maximize productivity through the demonstration of best practices, application of clean technologies, and capacity building. The methodology demonstrates that industries can achieve economic benefits through the application of best environmental practices and resource efficiency.

13 TEST Global Application

14 Context The TEST integrated approach was developed by UNIDO in 2000, it was implemented in 5 countries in the Danube River Basin. The TEST methodology aims to improve environmental management and competitiveness of companies (primarily SMEs) in developing countries and economies in transition. TEST consists of five management tools aimed at changing practices in industries/companies in a comprehensive way in order to ensure the adoption of environmental practices.

15 MED TEST Project Overall Objective: Build national capacities in UNIDO-TEST integrated approach and conduct pilot projects within priority industrial areas affecting the Mediterranean basin to demonstrate the economical/environmental benefits of resource efficiency and sustainable production. Countries: Tunisia, Morocco and Egypt Funding: 2.1 M USD - GEF, Italian Government Coverage: 43 industries, 7 industrial sectors Duration:

17 MED TEST - Achievements Key figures 6 National partners/service providers 30 TEST Trainees 43 Demonstration industries 958 Man days of training delivered to industry and trainees Results Industry Demonstrations: 16 Millions USD/yr economic savings 9,600,000 m 3 /yr water savings 250,000 MWh/yr energy savings Donor funds, 2.1 M USD, leveraged 20 M USD of private

18 Replication & Up-scaling SWITCH-Med Demonstration and Networking Components Funding: 19 M EUR, from the European Commission Partners: UNIDO, CPRAC, UNEP-MAP & UNEP-DTIE Countries (9): Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Lebanon, Palestine, Jordan, Israel, Algeria and Libya. Duration: 4 years ( )

19 SWITCH-Med The objective of the SWITCH-Med is to facilitate the shift toward Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) in the Southern Mediterranean Region. The SWITCH-Med umbrella programme consists of 3 Components: Policy, Demonstration and Networking. Demonstration Component: Sustainable production - MED TEST II Green entrepreneurship and civil society empowerment SCP Nation Action Plans demo Networking Component Facilitate networking & knowledge sharing among partners, and foster lessons learned
