24 Water is more visible at the United Nations climate conference in Paris than in any preceding climate summit. SDGs are framework for future #6 24

25 SDGs: Beyond Paris By 2030, achieve universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water for all By 2030, achieve access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for all and end open defecation, paying special attention to the needs of women and girls and those in vulnerable situations By 2030, improve water quality by reducing pollution, eliminating dumping and minimizing release of hazardous chemicals and materials, halving the proportion of untreated wastewater and substantially increasing recycling and safe reuse globally By 2030, substantially increase water-use efficiency across all sectors and ensure sustainable withdrawals and supply of freshwater to address water scarcity and substantially reduce the number of people suffering from water scarcity By 2030, implement integrated water resources management at all levels, including through transboundary cooperation as appropriate By 2020, protect and restore water-related ecosystems, including mountains, forests, wetlands, rivers, aquifers and lakes By 2030, expand international cooperation and capacity-building support to developing countries in water- and sanitation-related activities and programmes, including water harvesting, desalination, water efficiency, wastewater treatment, recycling and reuse technologies Support and strengthen the participation of local communities in improving water and sanitation management 25

43 CHOKE POINT: CHINA Water scarcity and energy demand in the world s fastest-growing economy 43

44 THREE TRENDS CONVERGING The tightening choke point between energy demand and freshwater supply jeopardizes China s economic stability. 12% rise in annual water use by In 2010, China used 30% more water than in % of water used in China is to produce energy from coal. By 2020, coal consumption is projected to increase by 30%. FOOD FOR THOUGHT In Ningxia Province, one of China s largest coal producers, water supplies to farmers have been cut 30% since % increase in total energy consumption by Chinese energy consumption has nearly tripled since
