1 Eco-Efficient Water Infrastructure; Application of Community-based integrated Water Supply and Wastewater Treatment Systems to improve Resilience to Climate Change; and Current Workshop National Advocacy Workshop on Integrated Rainwater and Wastewater Treatment System in the Context of River Restoration and Climate Change 21 Nov 2013, Bandung, Indonesia

2 Coverage v What is ESCAP and what does it do? v Rationale: eco-efficient water infrastructure v Brief Introduction to ESCAP work on eco-efficient water infrastructure including current project: Application of Community-based integrated Water Supply and Wastewater Treatment Systems to improve Resilience to Climate Change v Advocacy national workshop, its objectives and agenda

3 ESCAP Regional Arm of the United Nations The regional development arm of the United Nations for the Asia- Pacific region -1 of the 5 United Nations regional commissions 62 Governments 58 within the region, i.e., from Turkey in the west to Kiribati in the east, and from the Russian Federation in the north to New Zealand in the south The largest United Nations body/commission serving the Asia- Pacific region (in terms of population & land area) with over 600 staff (about 200 P-staff) Established in 1947 with its headquarters in Bangkok, Thailand since 1949, ESCAP seeks to overcome some of the region s greatest challenges.

4 ESCAP Members (inc. Timor Leste): 58 from region

5 ESCAP Work The promotion of inclusive and sustainable economic and social development in Asia and the Pacific, with the overall goal of achieving the Millennium Development Goals, through strengthened Regional Cooperation Policy analysis Eight subprogrammes: Macroeconomic Policy and Development Statistics Trade and Investment Transport Environment and Development Information and Communications Technology and Disaster Risk Reduction Social Development Sub-regional Offices (4): Pacific, SSWA, NCA, ENEA Five regional institutions - APCTT, APCICT, CAPSA, CSAM, SIAP Technical Cooperation Projects Advisory Services Capacity Building

6 Environment and Development Objective: To improve the sustainability, resilience and inclusiveness of societies in Asia and the Pacific, including through promoting quality of growth ENVIRONMENT AND DEVELOPMENT DIVISION ENVIRONMENT AND DEVELOPMENT POLICY ENERGY SECURITY AND WATER RESOURCES SUSTAINABLE URBAN DEVELOPMENT

7 OVERALL VISION Sustainable Urban Development Cities in the Asia-Pacific region are more sustainable, resilient and inclusive

8 OUR MISSION To support member States in promoting sustainable and inclusive urban development through a programme of work which enhances awareness for informed decision-making; provides technical assistance and supports capacity development; and strengthens intergovernmental processes and mandates, fosters networks and develops partnerships for sustainable urban development in the Asia-Pacific region

10 OUR WORK Normative level Policy level Project level Learning - Thinking - Making Change

11 Work on Sustainable Urban Development by SUDS Regional/Global High-level Multi-stakeholder Urban Forums & Dialogues Urban Climate Change Adaptation Municipal Management Reform to implement Urban Infrastructure & Service delivery including training on sustainable Infrastructure Solid Waste Management Affordable & Green Building Technologies for Cities Eco-Infrastructure influencing national policy (e.g., Roadmap for Eco-Efficient/ Eco-Sustainable Water Infrastructure); Action Research/ projects Urban Nexus: Water-Energy-Food Security/Urban Resources Management

12 Water for life and development Eco-Efficient GEO-REF Information Water Infrastructure, Water is vital for human lives and for natural ecosystem, play important role for economic development (energy, food and other goods and services) and MDGs goals (esp. 1, 7), and renewable. Water, energy and food linkage - Water for energy currently amounts to about 8% of global water withdrawals (45% in industrialized countries, e.g. in Europe). - Food production and supply chain is responsible for around 30% of total global energy demand - Food production is the largest user of water at the global level, responsible for 80 90% of consumptive blue water use

13 Asia-Pacific Development and Water Infrastructure v Economic Development together with unplanned urbanization + rapid industrialization; v at the cost of high resources & energy consumption (esp. fossil fuel), high GHG emissions (CO2 and others); high water withdrawal; Less per capita water availability; v Resulting in increased water pollution (due to release of industrial as well as domestic/urban untreated wastewater); climate change/increased extreme weather events: floods and droughts.; Uneven distribution of fresh water due to change in rain fall pattern v Threatened water sustainability, food and energy security, as well as accomplishing millennium development goals (MDGS) esp., 7 & 1; and relevant IADGs; v Grow first, clean up later - unsustainable development path

18 Eco-efficiency Eco-efficient Infrastructure The dominant paradigm of centralized infrastructure development depended on exploitation of natural resources. Ł unsustainable A fundamental shift in the management and use of resources is required. Ł Eco-efficiency Eco-efficiency = economic efficiency + ecological efficiency It means creating more goods and services with ever less use of resources while creating less waste and pollution.

19 Consultative Meeting on Roadmap on Eco-Sustainable Water Infrastructure in Indonesia: Background Eco-efficient Water Infrastructure It can be defined as an integrated approach in water infrastructure development to achieve ecological and economic efficiency. It represents a paradigm change of water resource management to a more holistic strategy based on multiple objectives and balancing ecosystem services, economic development and human welfare. For Indonesia, it is referred to as Eco-Sustainable Water Infrastructure
