Water-Energy-Land-Livelihood (WELL) Nexus Report, June 2019Martin Scherfler
The distress facing the agriculture sector needs an integrated approach deriving a win-win solution for all the concerned stakeholders—water security and better livelihood for farmers, easing of the massive financial burden on the state and the electricity utility, and benefits to the public at large through job creation and lower emissions. Our analysis considers a three-pronged approach consisting of (i) grid-interactive solar PV (photovoltaic), (ii) energy efficient pumps (EE), and (iii) advanced irrigation technology (AI) at the farm level. It makes policy recommendations for a successful implementation of this approach.
Whether it is to reduce CO2 emissions and mitigate climate change, because the reserves of easy accessible fossil fuels are shrinking, or for geopolitical reasons, it looks like the world economy will have to move away from fossil fuels in the coming decades. Given the massive role of fossil fuels today, this is an enormous challenge. Ensuring our future energy supply without fossil fuels will need a radical reorientation.
In which technologies should governments, companies and institutions invest? That is the question. This paper contains some initial thought exercises that could lead to an answer.

Expanding nodular development (end) sustainable urbanisationNeilBaulch
This Paper was prompted by the increasingly obvious adverse effects of the ‘Urban Sprawl’ mode of urban expansion of Australian capital cities. Population of the nation is increasing steadily with a fertility rate of about 1.8 babies per woman, and a net overseas migration of about 180,000 persons per year. With over 64% of the nation’s population concentrated into the capital cities, there is a magnification effect for them, as demonstrated by Melbourne which is increasing at the rate of 2%,while Victoria as a whole is increasing at 1.8%. At this rate the actual increase for Melbourne is an alarming 82,000 per year, which is approaching the population of Ballarat. These high rates of population increase are problematic, and if not addressed now, could impose severe restrictions to the nation’s future economy and unfavourably affect the wellbeing of its citizens.
The Green House Effect and Futuristic Urban Developmentijtsrd
The article portrays processes that describe the worldwide climate, explicit pointers are recommended, and that can be utilized to quantify the adjustment of the worldwide climate. It is said that urban areas and all urbanized domains negatively affect the worldwide climate. City as a wellspring of annihilation of the worldwide climate however considering the way that urbanization adds to working on the monetary productivity of the state, urban communities are the focuses of the financial, social and educational potential that give a leap forward into the improvement of the economy. The article evaluates the effect of urbanization on the worldwide climate. While projections for future environmental change are most frequently characterized worldwide, it is turning out to be progressively essential to survey what the changing environment will mean for urban communities. The dangers are not the equivalent all over. For instance, ocean level ascent will influence the gigantic zones of urbanization bunched along the worlds flowing shorelines and most fundamentally those urban areas where the land is now dying down.

Making Cities Zero Carbon -- issues and optionJIT KUMAR GUPTA
Cities are known for their dualities and contradictions, positivity and negativities, inclusion and exclusion, poverty and prosperity, luxury housing and slums, planned and unplanned development, innovations and depravity, good and bad, pleasant and ugliness. All these contradictions are the outcome of the way we are planning, designing and managing cities. If cities are bringing prosperity, they are also creating global crisis. Majority of global ills of global warming, rising temperature, natural crisis is the outcome of how we are treating the cities. Cities are being conceived as anti-thesis to nature and accordingly they are creating crisis including crisis of very human existence. Cities need to be treated in a better and rational manner by planning and designing them in logical manner. Cities need to be looked as integral part of nature and not looked as a commodity for sale and making profit. Cities not to be treated as a market place where one hopes to earn money and generate wealth. They have to be looked as places for human living – giving human beings an environment, where they can lead happy and healthy life. Cities need to be planned with nature using natural resources. They need to be made more effective and efficient. Cities need to be made producers rather than consumers of natural and non-renewable resources. They need to be made more livable and supportive to human living and nature. Cities need respect and care. We need to heal its wounds. If cites continue to be treated like they are being treated now, they are going to become major source of impending crisis , making human living most challenging on this planet. Accordingly, we need to relook, review, redefine and revise our options of planning, travel and creating built environment.
The aim of this primer is to putforth a perspective on - how does sustainability matters in real estate sector and why it should be a prime agenda of firms in making environmental friendly decision making and operations. Real estate sector can showcase their stewardship towards environment via efficient environmental friendly policies. There are varied environmental standards which are applied at the builings or infrastructure level in real estate sector, however what it lacks is uniformity in sustainability applicability to the sector. The type of material used, the design per se, installations and retrofits all matter in real esate sustainability mission and vision. Understanding environmental and climate risks and its real implications is a intricate challenge for property investors.
The World Water Week from 26th - 31st 2018 event concluded yesterday. As like every year, it was organized by Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI). It highlighted water as a critical resource. It emphasized nature based solutions as way forward towards resolving water issues. This year the theme was – “Water, Ecosystems and Human Development”. Be it with regard to water shortage, water quality, water issues in extreme weather events - floods, water has been the most pressing issue and challenging resource that needs to be addressed. Healthy ecosystems allow plant and animal life to thrive and strive and offer multitude of benefits for human development and all these work together as microcosm in itself and for developing synergy, work in co-operation during trans-boundary conflicts with regard to water, water governance strengthening, and equitable access to clean water.
Promoting Sustainable cities- Suggestive Approach for Evolving Energy Efficie...JIT KUMAR GUPTA
Paper attempts to look at energy implications of the cities and tries to suggest measures to make them low energy settlements and zero carbon footprints
Innovate 4 Climate is the distinguished global event hosted by World Bank on climate finance, climate investment and climate markets. It is a platform for providing exchange of knowledge and best practices. The event aims to promote investment opportunities in mitigation, adaptation, resilience and inclusive development. I4C was launched in 2017 and was designed to bring together thought leaders interested in linking climate innovation with investment opportunities – transforming dialogue into action.
Country’s progress and sustained economic growth is a reflection to the way we dwell in the place we thrive and strive. Building healthy dwellings and developing niche in sync with Industry 4.0 interface which are based on IoT,data analytics and smart grids are the latest revolution to march ahead by applying it in real estate sector.
Covid 19 pandemic outbreak has resulted in unrest, medical emergency, uncertainty and global economic slowdown. It has also resulted in wide open gap and unforeseen inadequacy in investment in pandemic preparedness and response. Though a number of guidelines, protocols, panel and commissions have been set up for recommendations and preparedness on how to better identify, handle, prevent, respond in such cases, government seems to struggle to reconcile and take the advantage edge out of the lockdown as at the primary stage if preparedness and response was taken, it would have not created conflict between health, economy and livelihoods. A citizen centric support to government interventions and protocols given if followed by the citizens shall strengthen government machinery and planning.
Preparedness in cities and other urban settlements is critical for effective local, regional, national and global responses to COVID-19. A well-designed pandemic plan in urban settlements allows to respond in a flexible way to varying levels of severity and to refine your response as needed. Education, housing, work, socializing and community kinship shapes the way we live, strive and thrive in cities. Population density is not the only parameter to be blamed for the pandemic in developing countries. The type of housing - township, apartments, independent houses, make shift homes, informal settlements, redevelopment buildings and slums also are a key parameter that hinders controlling the spread or transmission of outbreak. The way we live – sanitation, hygiene, food habits, our environment, transport, connectivity, our social outlook and approach also are detrimental and have a direct bearing for the outbreak to spread to the extent of being a pandemic.
Be it with regard to natural, accidental or intentional means, public health has always been under threat. As is the case with the current COVID 19 pandemic, public health preparedness to prevent, respond to and recover is key for securing country’s overall development and growth.
Climate change is a significant threat across varied sections and in varied regions there has been a consensus about the need for businesses to play key role in ensuring transparency around climate risks and opportunities. To steer climate action, science-based emissions reduction targets validated by Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) and climate change scenario analysis based on the TCFD recommendations have been suggested to be adopted. These aimed to future proof businesses by identifying risks for mitigation and adaptation with the view to deliver value for business, investors, stakeholders and the environment at large. With real estate, contributing to one third of all the global carbon emissions according to UNEP, the responsibility has increased manifolds to address the impact of climate change on real estate portfolio.
There is increasing pressure on energy producers from climate risks. One key concept which is gaining prominence in lieu of the risks is “Carbon Bubble” and the related impact of divestment movement. As a part of the Paris climate agreement, 192 countries reaffirmed their commitment to reduce emissions and limiting the global temperature increase to less than 20C. Energy producing companies are under scrutiny from investors, shareholders, employees and customers and other related stakeholders to reduce carbon footprint and to demonstrate that their business are aligned to help build an efficient “Low Carbon Portfolio”. The goal is to channelize investments, assess climate risks and opportunities and mitigate future climate change trajectories, align it as key service for fossil fuel energy divestment, portfolio and asset management.

As part of the Paris Climate Agreement goal of limiting global warming to 2oC, annual emissions reductions from agriculture must reach 1 gigatonne of carbon dioxide equivalent (GtCO2e/yr) by 2030. Plausible options to do this only deliver 21–40% of this target. Agricultural systems are witnessing ambitious goals and require transformative actions. Across food systems actions include: application of next generation technologies, increasing investment flows and improving returns, change in pattern of landholdings, enhancing capacities through skill development and capacity building, and via changes in the distribution and dynamics of the population and labour force. This transformation would generate multitude of benefits such as education, nutrition, health, water, sanitation, and empowerment of women and youth, and transforming rural livelihoods and indigenous communities.
Sustainability is regarded as a key goal for policy makers across all sectors and at all levels, be it with regard to local, regional and global scale. Sustainability as a criteria attribute in real estate sector, which was ignored over a period of years has gained enhanced level of importance in recent years amongst varied stakeholders including developers, investors, owners, tenants, private entities, government bodies and the communities. Policies regarding sustainability have been demonstrated in the Kyoto Protocol, United Nations Principles of Responsible Investment (PRI) and the European Union Directive on Energy Performance of Buildings. Similarly regulation at the city level have council enforcing environmental building codes and have varied rebate options, incentives such as tax breaks, flexible and cost effective financing mechanisms, for green buildings. The real estate sector has both set of risks and benefits associated and most often the risks are associated with future uncertainties in terms of policies, regulation and enforcement. Urban housing and the burgeoning infrastructure requirement have triggered local and regional issues such as energy policies, deforestation, water scarcity, air pollution and over exploitation of resources.
The concept paper with regard to e-voting in India – suggestive policy framework is conceptualized under the Eco Endeavourers Network endeavour initiative – innovation hub and new concepts. It is an endeavour towards greater citizen participation and for their rights and their role in nation building and constitutional affairs. It aims at improving greater security, transparency and to increase the voter turnout, use of limited resources in a resource constraint economy, reduced manpower that are deployed before, during and after the elections are held. Foreseeing increased application of blockchain technology, big data and app based advancement, the paper considers suggestive policy framework of e-voting to oversee the prospects and its suggestive implications for the decision and policy makers. Prospects of having an internet enabled/e-voting can be an efficient alternative to the current EVM voting based elections.
World Oceans Day 8th June, 2019 provides an opportunity to honour, protect, and conserve the oceans. United Nations Sustainable Development Goal # 14 commits countries to unite over what is a truly global responsibility – the protection of our oceans and the lives that depend on it.
5th June, designated as “World Environment Day” by the United Nations provides an opportunity to widen the basis for a more responsible conduct by individuals, business entities, organizations, government bodies, municipalities and communities towards protecting Environment. Every year World Environment Day is organized with a theme focus, which calls for attention on a particular environmental concern. This year, 2019 the theme is “Beat Air Pollution” – Take the Mask Challenge! This year China is hosting the day and has called upon to take up the mask challenge in beating air pollution via change in lifestyle habits which in turn will help in reducing GHG emissions and also to negate health effects.
In connection with World Environment Day on 5th June, 2019,
Eco Endeavourers Network is conducting an online one day campaign and awareness drive with its theme " Let's strive for sustainable, clean, healthy and climate positive cities and communities"
This 22nd May, 2019 as we commemorate the International Day for Biodiversity with the theme: Our Biodiversity, Our Food, Our Health, the focal point is on how biodiversity acts as a basis for transforming food systems and improving health and well-being. The theme also aims to leverage the opportunity in knowledge transfer, spreading awareness about the dependency on our food systems for nutrition, health and sustainability.
With sustainability being the focal point across varied organizations and business entities, the role of sustainability practitioners in the organization hierarchy has increased manifolds. What matters is how companies with sustainable business strategies are communicating business value to investors and stakeholders via their sustainability practitioners and steering business of value with its management board mission of creating profit along with protecting Environment. The sustainability practitioner’s role is to drive the company agenda – “Sustainability driven productivity.” Their role as CSOs (Chief Sustainability Officers) is to better inform, demonstrate, determine, assess and mover forward business value of sustainability to its investors, shareholders and stakeholders at large.

Micro RNA genes and their likely influence in rice (Oryza sativa L.) dynamic ...Open Access Research Paper
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs molecules having approximately 18-25 nucleotides, they are present in both plants and animals genomes. MiRNAs have diverse spatial expression patterns and regulate various developmental metabolisms, stress responses and other physiological processes. The dynamic gene expression playing major roles in phenotypic differences in organisms are believed to be controlled by miRNAs. Mutations in regions of regulatory factors, such as miRNA genes or transcription factors (TF) necessitated by dynamic environmental factors or pathogen infections, have tremendous effects on structure and expression of genes. The resultant novel gene products presents potential explanations for constant evolving desirable traits that have long been bred using conventional means, biotechnology or genetic engineering. Rice grain quality, yield, disease tolerance, climate-resilience and palatability properties are not exceptional to miRN Asmutations effects. There are new insights courtesy of high-throughput sequencing and improved proteomic techniques that organisms’ complexity and adaptations are highly contributed by miRNAs containing regulatory networks. This article aims to expound on how rice miRNAs could be driving evolution of traits and highlight the latest miRNA research progress. Moreover, the review accentuates miRNAs grey areas to be addressed and gives recommendations for further studies.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.
Diabetes is a rapidly and serious health problem in Pakistan. This chronic condition is associated with serious long-term complications, including higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Aggressive treatment of hypertension and hyperlipideamia can result in a substantial reduction in cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes 1. Consequently pharmacist-led diabetes cardiovascular risk (DCVR) clinics have been established in both primary and secondary care sites in NHS Lothian during the past five years. An audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery at the clinics was conducted in order to evaluate practice and to standardize the pharmacists’ documentation of outcomes. Pharmaceutical care issues (PCI) and patient details were collected both prospectively and retrospectively from three DCVR clinics. The PCI`s were categorized according to a triangularised system consisting of multiple categories. These were ‘checks’, ‘changes’ (‘change in drug therapy process’ and ‘change in drug therapy’), ‘drug therapy problems’ and ‘quality assurance descriptors’ (‘timer perspective’ and ‘degree of change’). A verified medication assessment tool (MAT) for patients with chronic cardiovascular disease was applied to the patients from one of the clinics. The tool was used to quantify PCI`s and pharmacist actions that were centered on implementing or enforcing clinical guideline standards. A database was developed to be used as an assessment tool and to standardize the documentation of achievement of outcomes. Feedback on the audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery and the database was received from the DCVR clinic pharmacist at a focus group meeting.

Our Planet –Common Future
Let’s Strive Together
This year across the World, many cities
faced the burnt of floods, storms and
hurricanes in severity, though such
events have happened earlier as well.
Floods seems to represent a major
paradox, though geographies differ,
nature and man– made influence per
se has brought these cities across the
world on a common platform. The
flooding problem has become a year
after year problem—yet we fail to take
it as a wake up call. Is it a apathy on
the part of Government, municipal and
administrative bodies? lack of citizen
participation? climate change?
urbanization? Whom to blame? Nature
or human induced interventions?
Are we not the creators and sufferers
of our problems? Nature does not pro-
vide a buy in time, the more we try to
disturb the web of nature, beyond its
carrying capacity the current reflec-
tions are bound to occur. The flood
adversity and deluge have connected
the dots for the world to come up with
tangible solutions at the earliest.
When will the developing coun-
tries work out flood risks for coastal
regions—even before the disaster
strikes? Why haven't we positioned
ourselves in safeguarding the lives with
proper forecasting and information
outreach during peak hours and days
for flood prone areas?
Be it the storm Harvey in Texas,
Hurricane Irma in Caribbean, Mumbai
floods of this August , floods in North
East of India which affected Assam,
Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland and
Manipur and at few other places of South
Asia, what is critical is beyond boundaries
even with developed economies and
emerging economies, compounding
effects are seen at all places irrespective
of infrastructure and urban planning
investments that have been done—
problems does persist be it in the form of
surge in ocean flooding, terrestrial
flooding. Over the years climate change—
rise in sea levels and increased heat island
effects, lesser vegetation and more of
concrete and asphalt in urban areas have
made cities vulnerable to flood risks.
Urban ecosystems in the form of
wetlands, marshlands attenuate flooding,
have been deteriorated. According to a
UN report India's average annual
economic loss due to disasters is
estimated to be $9.8 billion, out of which
more than $7 billion loss is due to floods .
Water logged areas, traffic snarls, impact
on the public transport and commuters
woes are a common situation to view
every year. Climate change is being
considered as the main driver for the
deluge in various cities across the world,
however encroachment of catchment
areas, wastes blocking the channels and
sewers, lack of efficient drainage system
that can allow easy flow through of
rainwater during intense period of rain-
fall in short period are the key drivers.
The forthcoming newsletter will cover one
by one all the causes, implications of
flooding, lessons to be learnt and what
positive interventions can be applied with
example scenarios.

In June this year, India’s NITI
Ayog (National Institution for
T r a n s f o r m i n g I n d i a )
published the draft energy
policy and made it available
for public comments. In wake
of growing energy needs,
energy security and increased
focus on mainstreaming
renewable energy, transition
from the 2006 Integrated
Energy Policy to 2017
National Energy Policy has
placed the onus on India’s
commitment on energy clar-
ity, trajectory growth and pro-
jection scenario and way
forward to meet the recent
nity driven is improving energy effi-
ciency, expansion of PAT (Perform,
Achieve and Trade) and adoption of
BAT (Best Available Technologies) for
reducing energy consumption. As per
the report PAT must cover 80% of
all industrial consumption, including
the unorganized sector by 2020. The
primer which is of much relevance for
way forward is increasing energy effi-
ciency penetration through BAT, in
the processes not covered under PAT
scheme. The next edition of newsletter
will focus on if BAT is being consid-
ered as a way forward for strong en-
ergy policy? Since it’s a yes, then how
and to what extent it can be applied
across different sector?

infrastructure development,
cities over a period of time have
been transitioning from being
sustainable cities to progressing
towards being smart cities.
However a critical attribute which
are we perceiving is blue, green
and grey space? And are these
attributes equally weighted
while planning and development?
Are we perceiving it as integrated
planning for multifunctional land
use? Some of the perceived
benefits of Blue, Green and Grey
urban spaces include :
Nature and biodiversity
Water retention
Water quality & quantity
improvement
Health and well-being
Green spots
Climate adaptation
Increased connectivity
Ecosystem services
High energy efficiency devices
and retrofits
Urban flood risk management
How do we perceive?
We perceive all the three
attributes as different
components and each attribute
gets weightage based upon
requirement. However each of
the attribute is interdependent
upon one another to fulfill the
goal of being a livable, clean,
healthy and safe cities.

Grey infrastructure has a asset
life and value and return on
investment (ROI), however the
challenge is never ending
demand of the requirement,

urbanization.
Blue infrastructure include
equal weightage to planned
maintenance, efficient water
supply and treatment system.
Green Infrastructure —
Strategically planned tree
plantation, reviving and
restoring the urban greens,
greener building codes and
standards—challenge is risk
management, effectiveness
and decision making.
Another notable & critical challenge
is lack of open spaces— cities look
more fragmented and open spaces
are most undervalued—Integration
of the three attributes is required
for “unlocking the blocks.”

Cities are nodes of intense energy,
material consumption and waste
production. Climate change does
impact cities at large at local scale
and no matter what policy
initiatives and strategic modelling,
forecasting is planned for
implementation, even the most
carefully designed and well articu-
lated approach will fail if ground
capacities are not enough to meet
policy demands, requirements and
way forward. So it is here that
climate proofing through trees
can be a key tool in our cities.

3. In September 2015, the United Nations
General Assembly formally adopted the
2030 Agenda aiming for global action
consisting of 17 Sustainable Develop-
ment Goals (SDGs) and 169 associated
targets. The implementation of SDGs
initiated since 2016 needs every country
to meticulously plan, prioritize, and
adapt the goals and targets in accordance
with the local challenges, capacities and
resources availability.
This newsletter features how India is
implementing the SDG No.1 : End
poverty in all its form everywhere. India
has made tremendous strides by reduc-
ing its extreme poverty head count ratio
by half in 2011-12, however as per the
Asian Development Bank statistics 21.9
% of the population still lives below the
national poverty line. Poverty does not in
itself reflect lack of income or having
access to resources, it also includes lack
of opportunities for education, inequality
and social discrimination. Though Gov-
ernment of India has come with progres-
sive schemes such as Pradhan Mantri
Garib Kalyan Yojana, skill India, Deen
Dayal Upadhaya Grameen Kaushalya
Yojana, Atal mission for rejuvenation
and urban transformation, the challenge
is time—to say to what extent we would
be able to achieve target set up as per
2030 agenda.
The anti-poverty programme
ie: The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural
Employment Guarantee Act, for
instance, has generated over 2 billion
person-days of employment during
2016-17 alone for the disadvantaged sec-
tions of society. In July this year, India
presented its first voluntary national report on the imple-
mentation of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the
UN High Level Political Forum. India aimed to leverage this
submission as a perfect opportunity to reassure its global
commitment, target set and extent of implementation since
the adoption of SDGs in 2015. If we as a nation have to
progress and meet the 2030 agenda, action in all fronts of
areas : water, energy, food security, livelihoods creation,
resource conservation, reducing vulnerabilities, and climate
change, ensuring equality, affordable housing and health
and well being is needed. The Government of India has
affirmed that its national development goals are synced to
meet the SDGs 2030 agenda, time as mentioned earlier is
the critical challenge and to add on implementing nationally
appropriate actions emphasizing the poor, marginalized and
vulnerable and ensuring efficient mobilization of resources
is required to reach the target set.
current focus and to what extent
the best practices will be agreed
and reported. Reporting water
consumption in addition to water
withdrawal is the new require-
ment of the standard with
emphasis on water stress areas.
In this context, reporting organi-
zations from developing coun-
tries are the one to be looked for
the approach they would apply in
disclosing the information with
transparency. Another criteria
added is effluents and waste con-
tent—so information with regard
to withdrawal, consumption and
discharge will be made available
by reporting entities. More em-
phasis on water discharge—will
strengthen treatment decision
making. Water related manage-
ment approach and what value at
The GRI revised draft standards
for water impacts i.e. GRI 303:
Water and Effluents used by
organizations to report on
impacts related to water is open
for public review and feedback.
These GRI standards developed
through robust multi-stakeholder
process and being set in across 50
countries and varied stock ex-
changes.
Its commendable that standards
have move a step ahead from
considering water as a commod-
ity by the corporate entities ear-
lier to a much needed resource
consideration with water proofing
as a main criteria for entities per
se. How organizations will
report water impacts with these
new set of standards is the
local level and as a shared
resource is another criteria to
look for. The most benchmark-
ing criteria added is reporting
on water impacts in the supply
chain with regard to its prod-
ucts and services. This addi-
tional criteria has further
leveraged an opportunity for
o r g a n i z at i o n s t o wa r ds
restrengthening water proof-
ing and benchmarking their
impacts and transparency in
disclosure.
Hope to see a more account-
able and transparent reporting.
Also how companies will
perceive water and their im-
pacts gets implemented with
these new set of standards
added for disclosure .
