1 Integrated Resource Management as a means of implementing the SDGs and the New Urban Agenda Urban Speakers Corner at PrepCom 3 26 July 2016 Donovan Storey Chief, Sustainable Urban Development Section, United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) 1

2 SDGs and the New Urban Agenda 2015 saw the adoption of a number of landmark global agendas, goals and commitments that will shape development efforts for the next 15 years+, notably the SDGs, AAAA, Paris Agreement, Sendai Framework 2/3 rd of the SDGs are in some way reliant on implementation at the local level. Habitat III in October this year will further adopt a New Urban Agenda for the next 20 years Implementation will fundamentally depend upon what happens in cities in relation to their resources 2

3 Regional Context & Realities In 2018 more people will live in cities than in rural areas By 2050 two-thirds of region will live in cities: 3.2 billion Essential transformations: from quantity to quality from exploitation to investment Urban Nexus was explicitly captured in the APUF-6 Jakarta Call-for-Action: Meeting current and future natural resource demands in cities, in particular for energy, water and food, as well as housing and basic services, requires the adoption of a nexus approach and a shift from sectoral to integrated and ecosystembased planning. It also requires a shift from competitive to collaborative governance among neighboring municipalities and across departments, including financing mechanisms. 3

4 Conceptualizing Urban Nexus To integrate systems, services, policies or operational silos, and jurisdictions, to achieve water-food-energy security in cities and multiple urban policy objectives, and to deliver greater benefits with equal/less resources and minimizing negative trade-offs Enabling factors integrated approaches, STI, partnerships, collaborative governance, coherent policy 4

5 Inter-linkages of Urban Nexus with regional & global agendas SDGs Broadly addresses Goal 1, Goal 2, Goal 3, Goal 6, Goal 7, Goal 8, Goal 9, Goal 11, Goal 12, Goal 13, Goal 17 Direct linkages of Nexus to the SDGs targets, including: 8.4 to improve global resource efficiency in consumption and production 12.2 call for the sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources 11.a addresses integrated planning across urban and rural boundaries in terms of resource planning and use 11.b in adopting and implementing integrated policies and plans towards resource efficiency NUA Commitments In particular # 109 promote coordination of policy across food-water-energy-climateenvironment nexus # 61 and 62 sustainable management of resources, in leveraging the proximity of resources, environmentally sound management and minimization of all waste, including energy, water, food, and materials # 43, #45, #57, #67 enhanced resource efficiency 5

8 Integrated Resource Management in Asian Cities: the Urban NEXUS (Water / Energy / Food Security / Land Use) 1 st Phase nd Phase Financed by: BMZ (German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation & Development) Political Partner: UN ESCAP (Bangkok, Thailand) Implementation Partners: Local Governments for Sustainability (ICLEI South Asia & South East Asia)

9 Implemented by Partner-cities Ulaanbaatar Weifang Rizhao Rajkot Nagpur Chiang Mai Da Nang Korat Santa Rosa Naga City Pekanbaru Tanjungpinang

10 Implemented by Objective: Create resilient cities (economically, socially, ecologically) through: Physical infrastructure (introduction of innovative technologies, norms & standards, infrastructure projects) (hard ware) Social infrastructure (all inclusive cities, people centered development, integrated, cross sectorial planning and implementation, decentralization along subsidiarity principle) (soft ware) Circular (green) economy (return/reuse/recycle) / job creation

11 Linear Economy Source: Ellen MacArthur Foundation Adapted from Cradle to Cradle Design Protocol by Braungart & McDonough Further developed by Ralph Trosse take Water Mining/Minerals Energy Parts manufacturer make Product manufacturer Service provider Consumer User Waste-water Collection only partially Waste-water treatment only partially dispose Solid waste pick up Discharge into rivers, lakes & sea Landfill

12 Circular Economy with Energy & Mass Flow Cycles Source: Ellen MacArthur Foundation Adapted from Cradle to Cradle Design Protocol by Braungart & McDonough Further developed by Ralph Trosse Biological cycle return return take make Water Mining/Minerals Energy Parts manufacturer return Technical cycle Horticulture Agriculture return Product manufacturer return Service provider Energy generation Service/Irrigation water Grey-water treatment Consumer User Maintenance/ Repair Refurbish/ Remanufacture Reuse/ redistribute Biogas Anaerobic digestion Black-water separation Waste-water collection Landfill Solid waste pick up Source separation Recycle Refuse-derived fuel Energy generation

13 Implemented by Technical Areas focused on: Energy & Material Cycle of Waste Water (separation of material streams) Black water to Energy Recycling of Grey water (water reuse) Nutrients for agriculture

14 Implemented by Technical Areas focused on: Energy & Material Cycle of Waste-water Stilt village Senggarang (Tanjung Pinang) Indonesia Vacuum sewer waste water collection

15 Implemented by Technical Areas focused on: Energy & Material Cycle of Waste-water Stilt village Senggarang (Tanjung Pinang) Indonesia Vacuum waste water collection Vacuum sewer collection, stilt village, Malaysia

16 Implemented by Technical Areas focused on: Energy & Material Cycle of Solid Waste Recycling of Solid Waste: Energy (Biogas, RDF) Water reuse Metals, Minerals DON T WASTE THE WASTE

17 Implemented by Technical Areas focused on: the other way of thinking - Usage of waste as resource Replacing "Sanitary Landfills" Maximum yield technology Waste is made up of the same components worldwide. Although residual household waste varies on a regional and international level, the essential components of waste are the same the world over. MYT breaks waste down into its four components, treats them according to their specific material and extracts the maximum potential from them.

18 Implemented by Energy Efficiency Technical Areas focused on: Energy efficient water pumps Detection of water losses in the public supply network Model Houses ECO-City Ulaanbaatar Water pumps in the public supply network, Korat

19 Implemented by Technical Areas focused on: Energy Efficiency of Buildings Passive energy buildings Solar-thermal panels for warm water & heating Model Houses ECO-City Ulaanbaatar Model Houses ECO-City Ulaanbaatar

20 Implemented by Technical Areas focused on: Energy Efficiency of Buildings Climate Change Resilient & Green low-cost housing Naga City, Philippines (with academe) Model Houses ECO-City Ulaanbaatar
