  1. RECOVERING & REUSING RESOURCES IN URBANIZED ECOSYSTEMS

  2. Objective of Program • The Objective of the RRR flagship is to capitalize on the opportunities waste resources offer, to reduce the negative urban footprint on ecosystems and human health through innovative market-driven investments bringing nutrients, water and energy back into the production cycle. • This will contribute to the WLE target of sustainable intensification by ensuring the efficient use of limited resources that contribute to long-term sustainability with limited environmental impact. • The central focus on water and nutrient cycling supports in the core of the Flagship key ecosystem processes and services, making RRR a logical component of any ecosystem based approach.

  3. Innovative RRR initiatives can help to close the water, nutrient and energy loops. Why do we not see more of this and at scale? Wastewater – Water (irrigation, aquaculture) Agro-industrial waste - Energy http://www.waste-enterprisers.com MSW, Faecal sludge - Nutrients (ag. production) www.new-ag.info

  4. AC 1: Business opportunities in nutrient, water and energy recovery and reuse • Partners: • WSP, BMGF, SDC, DGIS, WBCSD, Business schools, private enterprises, municipal public sector, many NARS, advanced knowledge institutions, like SANDEC/EAWAG. • Significant share of partners are uptake partners. • Approximate timescales for delivery: 5-10 years

  5. AC 1: The Three Services We Deliver Bankable Solutions • RRR Technical Solutions • Business modeling • Business model validation (feasibility studies) • Partnership & Finance Analysis • Investment Climate Analysis • Policy Formulation • Business School & Start-Up Support (cewas) • Monitoring, Evaluation & Accompanying Research Local Implementation Plans and Policies Capacity Building (external/internal)

  6. Progress towards outcomes so far: • Feasibility studies in 7 countries. • Call from World Bank-WSP. • Donor support to test the implementation of business models. • Call from the Sri Lankan Government.

  7. 1. Validating the feasibility of 20 business models in 10 locations in 7 countries (Vietnam, Peru, Uganda, India, Ghana, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh) Bangladesh India Ghana Vietnam Peru Sri Lanka Uganda

  8. 2. Call from WSP of the World Bank for testing the feasibility of fecal sludge reuse business models in India.

  9. 3. Call from World Bank to assist them in providing advisory services to client countries on waste management solutions (Composting Experience in Ghana, India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka).

  10. 4. Donor support to test the implementation of business models via PPP in 4 countries (BMGF, SDC, WLE) Ghana Peru Sri Lanka Uganda

  11. 5.Three (3) MoUs with the Sri Lankan Government for: - the revision of the National Sanitation Policy to cover septage management and reuse and; - the improvement of the national compost sector (n=115 plants so far); - the set-up of faecal sludge pelletizing plant. Close collaboration with FAO, WHO and:

  12. Forthcoming Flagship Outputs for AC1

  13. AC 2: Safe wastewater and excreta use • Partners: • WHO, FAO, UNEP, UNU-INWEH, UNW-AIS, UNU-FLORES, UNDP, USAID, WSP, national authorities, NARS. • Significant share of partners are uptake partners. • Approximate timescales for delivery: 8-10 years

  14. AC 2: The Three Services We Deliver • Global Wastewater Initiative (UNEP) • Wastewater Data Integrated into FAO’s Aquastat  SDG • Reuse Safety Plan & Guideline Development (WHO, WSP/WB) • Global post-2015 Dialogue (WHO, UN-Habitat, UNEP) • Capacity Building with UNU • Safe Water Reuse Piloting in MENA & India (UNDP; Coca Cola Foundation; EU) International Public Goods and Databases Inter/national Guidelines Capacity Building & Implementation

  15. Progress towards outcomes so far: • Participation in different UN Experts Groups. • Collaboration with FAO and UNEP. • Ongoing support of the WSP of the World Bank in India. • Support of WHO in the development of Sanitation Safety Plans. • Piloting and implementation of safe reuse options in MENA and India.

  16. 1. Participation in different UN Experts Groups to define SDG targets and indicators for the post-2015 Open Working Group. Post - 2015

  17. 2. Collaboration with FAO and UNEP to support their global wastewater reuse (e.g. AQUASTAT) and water quality assessments, publications and databases, targeting possible SDG indicators. Highlight

  18. 3. Ongoing support of the WSP of the World Bank in the development of a Governmental Advisory and Guidance Document on Recycle and Reuse of Treated Wastewater in India.

  19. 4. Support of WHO in the development of Sanitation Safety Plans (to operationalize the 2006 WHO Guidelines for safe wastewater use) 2006 WHO Guidelines

  20. 5. Piloting and implementation of safe reuse options in MENA and India (via ICARDA and ICRISAT, respectively). Greywater reuse implementation in Jordan, Lebanon, West Bank

  21. Summary of 10 years Wastewater Research in Ghana Current Flagship Outputs

  22. 2. WLE RRR Report Series

  23. AC 3: Resource management in intensified peri-urban ecosystems • The AC is young with few projects but builds on a rich history of research on UPA and the rural-urban interface. • Partners: City authorities, RUAF, TEEB, NatCap, UN-Habitat, FAO’s ‘Food for the cities’ Program • Approximate timescales for delivery: tdb

  24. AC 3: Services to be delivered yet to be defined/finalized • Designed for extension proposal • Next steps: • Identify outputs & outcomes • Collaboration in particular with the Ecosystem Services and Resilience theme. • An example of research: Dynamics of ES change under urbanization • Theoretical valuation of change – InVest tool • Local Perception and valorization of changes concerning ecosystem services (10 cities)

  25. Outputs: State-of-the-art Publications by Springer (just out) and Earthscan (forthcoming) Editors: Basant Maheshwari, Ramesh Purohit, Hector Malano, Vijay P. Singh, Priyanie Amerasinghe Editors: H. de Zeeuw and P. Drechsel

  26. Linkages within WLE • Strong gender component (Nicoline PPT); • With ESRtheme – ample opportunities to collaborate within AC3 on peri-urban ecosystems, and the ESS of water purification and nutrient cycling; • RRR – global agenda

  27. For 2015 and 2016 clear outputs and outcomes planned
