W-E-F Security Nexus: Why Essential?

Energy

2.5bn without access to modern forms of energy 1.5bn without access to electricity

Water

800mio without access to „improved drinking water sources“ 2.5bn without access to adequate sanitation

Food

1bn suffering from hunger

2010 2030

40%-gap of water resources *

(between availability and demand)

Population growth, urbanisation, economic growth…

+ 40% energy demand + 30-50% food demand * Source: McKinsey (2009): Charting Our Water Future. Economic Frameworks to inform decision-making.

Message from Bonn2011:

  • Outcomes of Rio + 20

must take into account the interdependencies between water, energy and food and act upon the challenge to make the nexus work specifically for the poor

  • Nexus approach is key in meeting the overall challenge of

transforming our economies to green economies by changing growth patterns to become more sustainable

“We propose that the Sustainable Development Goals could include sustainable consumption and production patterns as well as priority areas such as oceans; food security and sustainable agriculture; sustainable energy for all; water access and efficiency; sustainable cities; green jobs, decent work and social inclusion; and disaster risk reduction and resilience.”

(UNCSD Zero Draft, The Future we want, #107)

Nexus & Rio +20: Establishing Commitments

SDGs to emulate level of commitment created by MDGs? → Effective change of policy landscape – national commitments

1. Prioritization of Food/Agriculture, Water, and Energy Mentions interlinkages, but “Nexus” not very prominent, Energy not well integrated with food and water aspects 2. SDG construction modalities Address 3 dimensions of SD and interlinkages Criteria:

  • Action-oriented
  • Concise and easy to communicate
  • Limited numbers (8 MDGs, Priority areas Rio15+)
  • Aspirational
  • Global and universally applicable (national realities)
  • Focus on priority areas (Rio outcome document)
  • Progress: targets and indicators (national differentiation)

3 dimensions of Sustainable Development reflected in potential WEF Goals Interlinkages need to become clearer Potential targets/indicators: Water productivity in agriculture and energy production and domestic water Reduction of edible food waste/energy waste Irrigation efficiency, kwh/water..... Reduce water pollution Increase waste water reuse Other targets which can /may not be placed in WEF sectors: global resource productivity, reduction of subsidies Key issue: Monitoring of targets - what is possible, what type of data is already available?

Balance of sectors and issues Current lack of interconnections between different sectors What are appropriate target horizons? What are possible target values? Appropriate goals for developing countries and developed countries? Defining system boundaries and overarching goals: “Doughnut” concept OXFAM Institutional setting: custodian of individual goals, monitoring, further development.....and at the current stage a strong voice to push goals and targets forward forward
