SUMMARY:BACK TO THE NATURE: Exploring the potential of nature-based solutions to face the effects of climate change on water
DESCRIPTION:In its latest report\, published in August 2021\, the IPCC rings the alarm on the predicted consequences of global warming of 1.5C\, which is expected to be reached by 2040\, including on water with the increase of extreme events\, more intense rainfall and droughts. Effects have already been seen throughout the summer of 2021 with fires and floods devastating Europe. \nWith increasing rainfall\, the question of rainwater management must be addressed. Water operators have been at the center of discussions\, as they manage sewer networks and treat works to prevent pollution of water bodies. However\, as existing systems are showing their limits in the face of new challenges\, it is critical to seek new long-term looking solutions. \nParticularly relevant in the context of the revision of the European Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive\, the conference will aim to discuss the consequences of climate change on the water cycle and the role that nature-based solutions can play in addressing storm water and strengthening the resilience of cities and towns. Speakers\, including policymakers\, NGOs\, water operators and scientists\, will review the opportunities and challenges of the increased use of nature-based solutions. \nRegistration is available here.

SUMMARY:Leapfrogging or treading water? Utilities picking up the pace at the water-energy-food nexus
DESCRIPTION:This session will look at examples of the ‘circular economy’ paradigm being adopted by water and sanitation operators in different contexts. Worldwide water operators have been implementing wastewater reclamation. A host of technological options from “high” to “low” tech and centralized to decentralized technologies exists\, but most are yet to be tested. Still\, a host of technical\, socio-cultural\, economic\, governance\, financial instruments etc. need to be understood. As such\, water reclamation with integrated resource recovery can be a key element in enhancing water\, energy and food security. Further\, visualizing revenue streams emerging from this process can form the basis for an innovative governance model geared towards more effective resource management and supporting resilience and transition to a circular economy. It will discuss how the imperative to reduce and reuse water and related energy and material resources is changing water and sanitation utilities’ modus operandi - their economic models\, structure\, governance and collaborations. The session will explore the challenges and opportunities for leaping forward. \nRegistration is required and free. \n“Click here to register”. \nThe original announcement is available here.

SUMMARY:2021 Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystems (WEFE) Nexus Science Advances Conference
DESCRIPTION:Delivery type: Online from Nicosia (Cyprus) \n \nBackground: \nLiving within the budget of Nature requires reviewing the supply chains that nourish Mediterranean societies and economies. Yet\, such a transformation of the rules of the game is still far from commonly accepted\, especially when the proposed changes impinge on people’s lifestyle and challenge the current economic models. Increasing demand of water\, energy and food due to population growth and urbanization aggravated by unprecedented extreme weather and climate conditions\, are likely to undermine future livelihoods in the region\, ultimately leading to increased insecurity\, migration and possible local conflicts. The Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystem (WEFE) Nexus is the system at the intersection of economic\, health and ecological interests where the confrontation of diverse practices of market\, governance\, culture and knowledge take place. It follows that achieving sustainability\, reducing inequality\, promoting cooperation and restraining conflicts and migration flows in the Mediterranean region require the concurrent implementation of interconnected targets\, many of which are embodied in the Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). \nAnswering the broad range of questions encompassed by the WEFE Nexus concept is a challenging process at regional and national level. Evidence of benefits for business and communities of a transformative change on how WEFE resources are managed has so far failed to elicit significant changes in behaviour. While people tend to agree on distant targets\, acceptance of short-term actions is more difficult. In order to make a more convincing case for change\, we need to fill the gap in the debate between experts and non-experts. \nA science-driven approach to solving this problem should move beyond biophysical considerations and help design operational targets that reflect the predominant societal values and interests in the Mediterranean region. This requires broadening the toolkit with which experts approach the WEFE Nexus to provide clear demonstrations of the proposed solutions to policy designers. Learning from best practices worldwide can help convince social actors and decision-makers to adapt their thinking and behaviour. It is not the role of scientists to shape policies\, since operational targets must be participatory\, socio-political choices. But by providing evidence-based assessments on the benefits and trade-offs between the different elements of the Nexus\, science can help inform the debate and provide a menu of possible solutions that societies in the Mediterranean can adapt to their own needs. Multi-disciplinary partnerships are therefore essential to tackle such cross-sectoral challenges. \nDelivering Conference content: \nThere are no purely sectoral solutions to the sustainable management of Water\, Energy\, Food and Ecosystem resources in the Mediterranean region. Moreover\, as the COVID 19 pandemic and the migration flows in some parts of the region are dramatically showing\, a transformation of our current thinking and approaches is no longer an option\, but a necessity. The key concept of the 2021 WEFE Nexus Science Advances Conference is “addressing interdependencies”. The Conference will analyse the role of science as driver of innovation and its interfacing with the policy and decision-making processes. It will recommend workable measures on how to integrate novel paths in the research and planning of WEFE supply chains through a collaborative response across the Mediterranean region. Participants in the Conference will be scientists and practitioners\, as well as social actors and decision makers from diverse WEFE sectors from the entire Mediterranean area\, all brought together with the following common objectives: \n\nSurvey new approaches and modes of practice that can be applied to inform decisions\, choose priorities and incentivize the cross-sectoral management of water\, energy\, food and ecosystem resources.\nPromote the collection and documentation of WEFE Nexus best practices in the Mediterranean region and incorporate lessons learned in hands-on guidance for the development of sustainable operational targets\, in line with the SDGs.\nElaborate on the role of a WEFE Nexus Community of Practice to stimulate cross organization collaboration and knowledge-sharing around demonstration projects in the Mediterranean region.\n\nThe Conference focuses on the Mediterranean dimension\, but it is of broad interest to participants from outside the region sharing the same interests and wishing to learn from the Mediterranean\nexperience. It is organized by the Joint Research Centre and the Directorate General Research and Innovation of the European Commission\, the UfM-Union for the Mediterranean\, the PRIMAPartnership for Research and Innovation in the Mediterranean Area\, and the Cyprus Institute. The outcomes of the Conference will contribute to the objectives set out in the UfM Ministerial Declaration on Water\, to the UfM Water Agenda\, to the Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda of PRIMA and the actions proposed by the European Commission in the roadmap of the EU Green Deal. \nFormat: \nThe Conference will be held entirely online with successive high-level panel sessions and group work smoothly spread over three days. It will be highly interactive with discussions at the science-to-policy interface triggered by keynote speakers tasked to review the state-of-the-art in specific areas of the Nexus (Nexus Talks). Participants and panelists will be asked to provide inspiring evidence of mutually beneficial solutions based on the co-production of practical and scientific knowledge. Breakout Groups and poster sessions will offer opportunities for networking. \nAt the Conference\, the launch of the report “Gateway to the Future of the Mediterranean: Water\, Energy\, Food and Ecosystems” will provide examples for substantive discussions on sustainability (Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystem Nexus in the Mediterranean – Seeking examples of best practices | EU Science Hub (europa.eu)). Furthermore\, the 2021 PRIMA WEFE Nexus Awards (instructions for application at https://prima-med.org/the-prima-wefe-nexus-contest-opensapply-by-15-june/) will be conferred during the Conference. \nRegistration: \nParticipants are requested to fill in the online registration form by following the instructions on the Conference website or by clicking here. The deadline for registration is 30th June 2021. \nBy submitting posters\, attendees are offered the opportunity to share their work and views on how science can address the challenge posed by the implementation of a WEFE Nexus approach.\nThe associated abstracts can be submitted as explained in the registration form. \nThe detail program agenda is available here. \nWEFE Breakouts sessions and zoom link available here. \n

SUMMARY:Advocating For Ecosystems and WASH: A Blended Learning Course - Call for Registration
DESCRIPTION:Course Dates: September 13-30\, 2021\nNumber spaces available: 15\nCourse registration form: https://forms.gle/fjEt12LykoZrjkfs6\n\nAdvocacy plays an important role in creating and sustaining momentum for progress on conservation and human health policies. While multi-sectoral initiatives have been gaining attention in recent years\, there are still many policy platforms that fail to recognize the critical links between human and ecosystem health. This includes a comprehensive water policy that links freshwater ecosystem conservation with water\, sanitation\, and hygiene (WASH) planning and infrastructure maintenance.\n\nIn 2020\, the African Biodiversity Collaborative Group\, Conservation International\, and IRC launched the Freshwater Conservation and WASH Advocacy Strategy Workshop Facilitator’s Guide. In addition\, IRC launched WASH Systems Academy online\, virtual course Advocacy for Universal WASH Services. These two resources combined inspired the creation of a blended learning course that combines facilitated virtual instruction with self-guided activities\, group discussions\, and feedback labs to build the capacity of individuals working on WASH and ecosystems implementing programs.\n\nThis course lays out steps for conservation\, health\, and development practitioners to develop an advocacy strategy to design messaging and activities to urge donors\, policymakers\, and colleagues of the need to unite and join forces for conservation and health. Advocacy is a critical step in enabling integrated freshwater conservation-WASH management and must be closely tied to ongoing stakeholder engagement and field implementation of freshwater management strategies. Click here to listen to a webinar recording that gives an overview of the course.\n\nThis is an application/expression of interest form for the upcoming blended learning course Advocating for Ecosystems and WASH which will take place September 13-30\, 2021.\n\nTo apply for one of the 15 places in the course\, kindly use this application form: https://forms.gle/fjEt12LykoZrjkfs6 \n\nApplications will be reviewed\, and spaces confirmed on a first-come-first-served basis.\n\nContact Information\nPlease contact Colleen Sorto (csorto@conservation.org) or Elynn Walter (walter@ircwash.org) with any questions.

SUMMARY:Wastewater and Emerging Pollutants: Unfolding A Toxic Story
DESCRIPTION:Background: \nEmerging pollutants is a term used by water quality professionals to describe contaminants that have been detected in water bodies. These may cause harm to human health and the ecological systems and are typically not governed under the current environmental laws\, posing as a greater risk to our livelihood. \nHeavy metal contamination is an issue of utmost importance as it has harmful effects on both\, the environment and on humans. Some of these negative impacts include the death of aquatic life\, algal blooms\, habitat destruction from sedimentation\, debris\, increased water flow\, other short and long-term toxicity from chemical contaminants. The main threats to human health from heavy metals are associated\, for example\, with exposure to lead\, cadmium\, mercury\, and arsenic. Most of the plastic produced in the world is not recycled but ends up in landfills or open dumps which makes it more likely to reach rivers\, lakes\, and eventually oceans. Microplastics (MPs)\, defined as less than 5 mm in diameter\, can be directly released in the water or formed by the degradation of bigger pieces. Many issues are linked to the presence of MPs in water\, such as damage to airways and stomachs of animals\, blocking canals and sewers\, and creating breeding habitats for mosquitoes. Excessive nutrient loading is a major threat to aquatic ecosystems worldwide that leads to profound changes in aquatic biodiversity and biogeochemical processes. Nutrients in excess can come from various sources. They can occur naturally\, however\, human-related inputs are much greater than natural inputs. \nThis webinar aims to discuss these matters with reference to wastewater and will focus on case studies\, projects\, and examples that will present the current trends and ways to tackle these issues. \nJoin the webinar on Thursday\, 9 September 2021\, from 3:00 PM – 4:30 PM Nairobi time (EAT). Please register using this link. \nOrganizer: \nThe Global Wastewater Initiative (GW²I) is a multi-stakeholder platform that brings together UN agencies\, international organizations\, governments\, scientists\, the private sector\, and non-profit organizations with the goal of information-sharing and cooperation for an effective and comprehensive response to the challenges posed by wastewater management. \nThe GW²I is chaired by Turkey and hosted by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). Together with its partners and through the Global Wastewater Initiative\, UNEP seeks to enhance the understanding of wastewater as a resource and works on various issues related to sustainable wastewater management including policy guidelines\, technology\, knowledge generation\, capacity building\, and awareness-raising that contribute to the implementation of the sustainable development goal 6\, target 6.3.1\, halving the proportion of untreated wastewater discharged in our water bodies. \nDo you want to join the Initiative?

SUMMARY:The Nexus of Law and Water: Recent developments in the rights of nature and ecocide
DESCRIPTION:Holistic legal definitions for environmental concerns have proven elusive – but recent developments have pushed forward the acceptance of the Rights of Nature and a shared and accepted definition of Ecocide. These changes are driven by many factors including an escalation of litigation related to climate change in jurisdictions around the world and grassroots activist movements. As a result\, we are witnessing a growing recognition at the national and international scale. The Right to Healthy Environment has been enshrined in a growing number of countries and cited in court filings and rulings. In June 2021 an independent expert panel led to a consensus on a core text of a definition of ecocide as an international crime. \nThis webinar\, organized by the IWRA Water Security Taskforce\, will address both the developments and the influences that the Right to a Healthy Environment and the definition of Ecocide have on each other and what it entails for the future. Our panel will consider the drivers for this movement and provide a clearer understanding as to what these developments mean for our rivers\, mountains\, forests\, and the health of our planet at large. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTopics \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Evolution of Environmental Rights\nReshaping the human relationship with water: what happens when a river becomes a person\nRights of Rivers and Beyond\nRe-mainstreaming rivers through advocacy (activism\, media\, and legal fight). Case Study- Turagh river\nClimate Litigation in Brazil: is it enough?\n\nPanelists: \nJohn H. Knox – Professor\, Wake Forest University\, USA \nDr. Erin O’Donnell – Fellow\, University of Melbourne\, Australia \nShrishtee Bajpai – Founder\, Rights of Rivers South Asia Alliance\, India \nMohammad Azaz – Chairman\, River\, and Delta Research Centre (RDRC)\, Bangladesh \nGuilherme Pratti – PH.D. Student\, Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies Pisa\, Italy \nModerated by: Dr. Amrisha Pandey\, Assistant Professor of Law\, Gujarat Maritime University. \nClick here to register for the webinar. \nOriginally posted.
