Two approaches to Water-Energy-Food-Security

The International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD)
• Independent, non-profit organization focussed mostly (but not only) on policy analysis for that promote equity and a healthy planet
• Based in Canada with over 200 staff and associates, and offices in Winnipeg, Ottawa, Geneva and New York
• Areas of focus: resilience, economic law and policy, energy, water (and ELA) and knowledge for integrated decisions
Water-Energy-Food Security Management- UNECE Dec 2016
Achieving Integrated Impacts
Example 1: Organic, bottom-up approach with multiple policy implications Example 2: Planned framework for integrated management.

The Lake Winnipeg Watershed •Serious eutrophication issues. •Increasing variability, floods and droughts •Large agricultural region

From Research to Commercialization turning a problem into a sustainable input for the Bioeconomy
•Measurable water quantity/quality improvements
• Production of “low carbon” bioenergy, offsetting coal and other energy.
• Local economic development - innovation and livelihoods
• Phosphorus recovery for use as agricultural fertilizer
• Climate adaptation for flooding and drought.

Availability
↓ Water pollution (heavy metals, silt, ARD) ↑ Market value of food ↑ Energy (diesel) supply
Access
↑ Purchasing power ↑ Aid ↓ Self-production risk to resources ↓ Bartering of bushmeat
Supporting Infrastructure
↑ Roads and energy distribution ↑ Local market for food ↓ Quality of roads
Supporting institutions and Policies ↑ NGO actions on community food security ↑ Training for no-Mercury artisanal mining ↓ Illegal mining control regulation ↓ Bartering
