Presentation Transcript

  1. Panel on Water, Food and Energy Overview of the Water & Energy issues and their linkages with food Richard Taylor, Executive Director, International Hydropower Association Short keynote address highlighting 1. The water and energy interactions and related issues 2. How these issues also interact with the food issues (expectation: demonstrate the importance of the linkages, the complexity and the need of a better understanding)

  10. Water and Energy interactions and issues How can we harmonize water and energy towards sustainable uses? Appropriate technologies to reduce the water and energy footprint: How can the water sector minimize its demand on energy? How can the energy sector minimize its impact on water? Sustainable use of water and energy resources What criteria should be applied? What are the key indicators and how can performance be measured? Integrating water and energy strategies and policies to meet human development needs and the MDGs Where are the conflicts in current policy? What are the common drivers and solutions for better integration? Topic 2.2: Eyup Hall, Sutluce, 14.30 Wednesday to 19.00 Thursday

  11. How do the water/energy issues interact with the food? Water, food and energy are all central to economies, livelihoods and lives Integrate the Water Energy Health Agriculture and Biodiversity (WEHAB) nexus Water, food and energy policies often conflict Institutions, industries and markets are often disconnected Climate-change affects the supply and quality of water, food and energy Role of energy and water pricing/markets on food availability and cost Role of renewable energy (management and distribution of water) Multiple uses water – storage for energy, food and water supply Sustainability criteria and assessment Capacity to implement good policy and practice (financial, institutional barriers)

  12. Thank you for your attention. Richard Taylor, Executive Director International Hydropower Association
