Two approaches to Water-Energy-Food-Security

The International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD)

• Independent, non-profit organization focussed mostly (but not only) on policy analysis for that promote equity and a healthy planet

• Based in Canada with over 200 staff and associates, and offices in Winnipeg, Ottawa, Geneva and New York

• Areas of focus: resilience, economic law and policy, energy, water (and ELA) and knowledge for integrated decisions

Water-Energy-Food Security Management- UNECE Dec 2016

Achieving Integrated Impacts

Example 1: Organic, bottom-up approach with multiple policy implications Example 2: Planned framework for integrated management.


The Lake Winnipeg Watershed •Serious eutrophication issues. •Increasing variability, floods and droughts •Large agricultural region

From Research to Commercialization turning a problem into a sustainable input for the Bioeconomy

•Measurable water quantity/quality improvements

• Production of “low carbon” bioenergy, offsetting coal and other energy.

• Local economic development - innovation and livelihoods

• Phosphorus recovery for use as agricultural fertilizer

• Climate adaptation for flooding and drought.

Availability

↓ Water pollution (heavy metals, silt, ARD) ↑ Market value of food ↑ Energy (diesel) supply

Access

↑ Purchasing power ↑ Aid ↓ Self-production risk to resources ↓ Bartering of bushmeat

Supporting Infrastructure

↑ Roads and energy distribution ↑ Local market for food ↓ Quality of roads

Supporting institutions and Policies ↑ NGO actions on community food security ↑ Training for no-Mercury artisanal mining ↓ Illegal mining control regulation ↓ Bartering
