Asian Water Development Outlook 2016 Strengthening Water Security in Asia and the Pacifi c The Asian Water Development Outlook charts progress in water security in Asia and the Pacifi c over the past 5 years. This 2016 edition of the report uses the latest available data to assess water security in fi ve key dimensions: household access to piped potable water and improved sanitation, economic water security, providing better urban water services to build more livable cities, restoring healthy rivers and ecosystems, and resilience to water disasters. The region shows a positive trend in strengthening water security since the 2013 edition of the report, when 38 out of 49 countries were assessed as water-insecure. In 2016, that number dropped to 29 out of 48 countries.

Southeast Asia and the Economics of Global Climate StabilizationThis study focuses on fi ve countries of Southeast Asia that collectively account for 90% of regional greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) in recent years—Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Viet Nam. It applies two global dynamic economy–energy–environment models under an array of scenarios that refl ect potential regimes for regulating global GHG emissions through 2050. The modeling identifi es potential economic costs of climate inaction for the region, how the countries can most effi ciently achieve GHG emission mitigation, and the consequences of mitigation. This study analyzes climate-related policies and identifi es how further action can be taken to ensure low-carbon growth.

3.7 Harmonized Assumptions for Business-as-Usual Scenario

The BAU scenario was calibrated to (i) replicate the base year characteristics of the DA5, (ii)  replicate credible projections of the main socioeconomic drivers in these countries, and (iii) harmonize assumptions across the ICES and WITCH models to facilitate comparative analysis.

For the non-DA5 economies, this calibration procedure is based on a “medium population—medium economic growth—fast convergence between regions” scenario that was constructed following the methodology developed in the Ampere project (Kriegler et al. 2014). Population reflects

the medium-population scenario of the United Nations 2010 Medium Term Projection (UNDESA 2011). In the case of the DA5 countries, growth rates for GDP and macrosectoral composition of value added for the ICES model have been derived from Asian Development Bank (ADB) estimates (ADB 2011b) and validated through personal communication with local experts. In both ICES and WITCH, these GDP trends are replicated through modifications of total, factor-specific, or sector-specific productivity parameters.

Emissions of GHGs as output of the models are driven by the entire set of behavioral parameters governing supply and demand. ICES is different from WITCH both in the energy nest and in terms of trade representation, which means that emissions can be closely, but not fully, synchronized. As a result, ICES and WITCH are harmonized fully in terms of population and GDP and partially in

In the BAU, both models project a world population reaching roughly 9.3  billion, and a GDP of $170 trillion by 2050.3 Emissions from fossil fuel-intensive industries (i.e., excluding land-use emissions) are roughly comparable, steadily increasing, and expected to reach between 67 gigatons and 73 gigatons of CO2 equivalent by mid-century.

Fossil Fuel Subsidies in AsiaTrends, Impacts, and Reforms: Integrative ReportThe unsustainable budgetary cost of selling oil, gas, and coal at low prices has propelled energy subsidy reform

in developing Asian economies. This report measures the size of associated subsidies on these fossil fuels including direct transfers, tax exemptions, subsidized credit, and losses of state enterprises in India, Indonesia, and Thailand. An analysis of complex interactions between economic, social, energy, and environmental issues shows that the initial rise in energy prices due to a reduction or removal of the subsidies will trigger a shift to alternative fuels, make investment in clean energy attractive, increase energy supply, and cut greenhouse gas emissions.

Addressing Climate Change and Migration in Asia and the Pacifi c

Climate change will increase the frequency of extreme weather events, making more geographic places inhospitable to human habitation and secure livelihoods. This report presents a detailed picture of

the potential impacts of climate change on migration in Asia and the Pacifi c. It draws upon a wealth of research to provide policy makers with informed analysis of an emerging phenomenon requiring urgent attention by governments and the international community. The report also suggests that climate-induced migration should be seen not only as a threat to human well-being but also as a potential tool to promote human adaptation to climate change.

Strengthening Carbon Financing for Grassland Management in the People’s Republic of ChinaPotential Carbon MarketsCarbon emissions trading markets are one of the main policy mechanisms of the

People’s Republic of China (PRC) to encourage the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Grasslands cover 40% of the PRC’s land area, and these contain large amounts of carbon. Restoration and sustainable management of these grasslands have large greenhouse gas mitigation potential. This publication assesses the potential of carbon market mechanisms to support the achievement of grassland policy objectives. It also reviews the state of national policy regarding climate change mitigation, particularly carbon markets, and outlines opportunities and challenges in producing carbon off sets from grasslands.
