Making blended finance work for water and sanitation green talks webinarOECD Environment
Water-related investments are key for sustainable development and inclusive growth. Blended finance can play a critical role in mobilising commercial finance and strengthening the financing systems on which water-related investments rely on. Water flows as a prerequisite through every one of the sustainable development goals (SDGs), especially those on food security, healthy lives, energy, sustainable cities and marine and terrestrial ecosystems.
We need a water low-carbon resilient infrastructure. Delivering these environmental ambitions will require historic scaling of financing on water related investments. These requires using existing sources of finance more strategically.
On 9 Sept 2019, Kathleen Dominique of the Environment Directorate OECD and Wiebke Bartz-Zuccala of the Development Co-operation Directorate OECD, discussed ongoing OECD work on blended finance and what has worked in the past as well as the potential to scale up blended finance approaches to apply to a broader range of investment types and contexts.

Ghana receives climate change financing from both international and domestic sources through a variety of state and non-state actors, largely at the project level. Between 2011-2014, Ghana received international climate financing through multilateral channels like the World Bank and UNDP, as well as bilateral sources. Domestically, Ghana invests its own resources in direct climate programs. Accurately tracking financing remains a challenge due to the many actors involved and difficulty obtaining data from non-state actors like the private sector. Improving common reporting frameworks, capacity building, and centralized databases could help strengthen Ghana's climate finance reporting.

Financial inclusion programs in Ethiopia, Nepal, and the Philippines helped increase resilience. In Ethiopia, savings groups and Sharia-compliant loans helped people cover needs, grow businesses, and invest in assets after shocks. In Nepal, households in a financial inclusion program relied less on negative coping strategies after flooding and recovered faster. In the Philippines, a cash transfer program introduced formal banking, and behavioral nudges promoted savings. However, one-time trainings did little to change financial behaviors long-term. More targeted design could increase resilience impacts on different groups.

The Cities Development Initiative for Asia (CDIA) provides support to medium-sized Asian cities to help bridge the gap between their development plans and financing of urban infrastructure investments. The CDIA assists cities through pre-feasibility studies and capacity building with the goals of improving urban environments, reducing poverty, and addressing climate change. It has supported over 40 cities across 13 countries, with estimated infrastructure investments of $5 billion under preparation. The CDIA works to strengthen long-term local capacity for urban planning and project preparation.
The document discusses strategies for improving urban infrastructure and amenities in Indian cities. It notes that Indian cities currently lack basic services and face issues like unemployment, poor public transportation, and high levels of slum populations. To address these issues, it recommends increasing investment in public transit and affordable housing. It also emphasizes the need for improved governance, funding models, master planning, water and energy credit systems, affordable housing initiatives, and sector-specific urban development. Overall, the document calls for large-scale investments and reforms across multiple areas to develop world-class cities and accommodate rapid urbanization in India.
The estimated contribution of urban area to India’s GDP is approximately 70-75%. Despite the enormous economic contribution, the current state of urban infrastructure is in poor condition. It is estimated that by 2030, an additional $1.2 trillion would be required to provide basic urban services. In this presentation, an attempt has been made to find out the ways to mobilize such a huge financial requirement. The target audience of this presentation includes inter alia urban development and finance professionals, city managers and the general public.
This document discusses strategies for municipal resource mobilization for urban infrastructure projects including public-private partnerships. It outlines various legal frameworks governing municipal finances and infrastructure development. It describes conventional sources of municipal revenue such as taxes, fees, and grants. It also discusses non-conventional strategies like pooled financing, value capture financing, and public-private partnerships. For PPP projects, it notes different models for water, waste, and sewerage infrastructure and highlights factors for ensuring successful PPP implementation like clear purposes, risk sharing, service standards, and transparency. Common challenges to municipal resource mobilization are also summarized.

The city of Long Beach sought to replace its aging and seismically unsafe civic center through a public-private partnership (P3). The existing civic center was inefficient, had extremely high operating costs, and needed over $685 per square foot in retrofits. Through a design-build-finance-operate-maintain agreement over 40 years, the selected developer will construct a new city hall, library, and parks, redevelop excess land, and bring the port headquarters downtown. A consortium led by Plenary Infrastructure was chosen to redevelop the 15-acre civic center site and unlock value through a master planned development including a hotel, residences, and commercial space. The $513 million project will provide modern civic facilities while
The document discusses key aspects of urban development and housing in India. It defines what constitutes an urban area and notes that the majority of housing shortages are for economically weaker sections. It also highlights growing urbanization and issues around the informal sector. The document outlines the new national urban housing and habitat policy's focus on affordable housing, partnerships across sectors, and regional planning approaches.
2016 GGSD Forum - Parellel Session A: Presentation by Ms. Julie Rozenberg, Ec...OECD Environment
Urban infrastructure investments require decision making under uncertainty given their long lifetimes and unpredictable future changes. Traditional planning that relies on predictions of a single future can lead to overconfidence and poor decisions. A better approach, called "decision making under uncertainty", develops strategies that are robust to different potential futures through identifying vulnerabilities and no-regret investments. This approach was applied for urban water supply in Lima, Peru by phasing investments based on observed changes in climate and demand over time. Stakeholder involvement is also important for balancing competing priorities under uncertain conditions.
This document is a draft final report for the World Bank on infrastructure public-private partnerships (PPP) financing in India from September 2007. It analyzes the present sources of financing for PPP infrastructure projects in India, including debt from commercial banks and equity sources. It identifies constraints such as limited bank lending and recommends changes to reduce constraints, such as developing the bond market and tapping insurance and pension funds. The report also provides sector-wise analysis and examines international practices to inform financing of PPP projects in India.
Urban infrastructure in India has grown dramatically since the 1950s. The percentage of the population living in urban areas has increased from 17.28% in 1951 to 28% in 2001. Urban areas now contribute around 30% of India's GDP. However, urban infrastructure still faces issues like lack of funds, high import duties on construction materials, and inadequate basic services in smaller towns. Going forward, public-private partnerships will be important to develop urban infrastructure, as the public sector alone cannot meet the large funding needs. The government needs to incentivize private and foreign investment to boost infrastructure development.
This webinar was hosted on 20th August, 2015 from 4:00 – 5:00 pm IST and was presented by Vijay Anadkat, Senior Manager, EMBARQ India.
With a view to recast the urban landscape of India and make urban areas more livable and inclusive to drive economic growth in the country, the Government of India recently launched two ambitious projects - Smart City and Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transportation (AMRUT). The purpose of AMRUT is to 1) ensure that every household has access to a tap with assured supply of water and a sewerage connection; 2) increase the amenity value of cities by developing greenery and well maintained open spaces; and 3) reduce pollution by switching to public transport or constructing facilities for non-motorized transport. The Mission is being implemented in 500 cities towns with a population of over 1 lakh.
This webinar discussed the current state of urbanization in India, the various propositions suggested by the government as a part of the AMRUT scheme and the feasibility of this project.

Transforming Transportation 2015: Smart Cities for Shared Prosperity is the annual conference co-organized by the World Resources Institute and the World Bank.
The document discusses the economic reforms in India and their implications. It provides background on the economic reforms initiated in 1985 which aimed to assign a greater role to the private sector. The industrial policy statement of 1991 further liberalized the economy by abolishing licensing and opening all sectors to competition. While some states like Gujarat and Maharashtra benefited greatly, growing over 8% annually, other states like Bihar and UP saw slower growth. This led to rising inequality among Indian states in the post-reform period, with implications for balanced regional development and poverty reduction. The divergent state growth patterns require addressing state-specific deficiencies to mitigate regional differences going forward.
The document discusses urban transport challenges in Indian cities, with a focus on bus mobility. It notes that while many cities were sanctioned bus fleets under a national program, few built the necessary supporting infrastructure like depots and stops. Barriers to effective bus systems included lack of preventative maintenance, limited feeder services, and traffic congestion reducing speeds. The Smart Cities Mission aims to address these issues through projects focused on physical, operational and technological improvements to public transport like bus rapid transit systems, electric buses, and real-time passenger information. Bicycle infrastructure is also being expanded in some smart cities, with over $25 million committed across 20 cities.
The document discusses infrastructure development in India. It covers sectors like power, roadways, railways, oil and gas, and telecommunications. Some key points:
1. India plans major investments to expand infrastructure like doubling spending on infrastructure to $1 trillion under the 12th Five-Year Plan.
2. The power sector faces a large demand-supply gap and needs over 150,000 MW of additional generation capacity. Reforms are expected to boost growth across generation, transmission and distribution.
3. Road and rail projects include expanding national highways, building the Golden Quadrilateral network, developing high speed rail, and the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor project.
4. Oil and
- India's urban population is growing rapidly and is projected to increase significantly by 2030, with many large cities.
- The Indian government has implemented various initiatives like Smart Cities Mission, AMRUT, and Housing for All to improve urban infrastructure and quality of life.
- Gujarat has a high level of urbanization compared to India overall and its cities are growing. The state government has undertaken initiatives like Smart Cities, affordable housing programs, and cleanliness drives to develop sustainable urban areas.
- Key projects in Gujarat include the Smart Cities of Ahmedabad, Surat, etc., the GIFT City financial hub, and the proposed Dholera SIR greenfield city.
The document discusses urban infrastructure development in India and provides recommendations. It notes that India's urban population is projected to grow rapidly which will strain existing infrastructure. Current infrastructure faces issues like inadequate water supply, sewage treatment, and solid waste management. Recommendations include building urban infrastructure capacity, shifting to performance-based maintenance contracts, creating regional infrastructure funds, and monetizing underutilized public lands to fund development. A case study of Delhi highlights opportunities to optimize land use through measures like reducing the land allocated to ceremonial areas and relocating unused facilities.
The document discusses water resource management in India. It provides context on the evolution of water management from a local, community-based approach historically to a more centralized, state-controlled system introduced by the British. Key points discussed include the need for integrated water resource management across sectors, the appropriate roles of government and other institutions, and benefits of decentralized water management by empowering local communities and establishing management committees.

This document discusses Coca-Cola's global water stewardship strategic framework. It notes that water is the biggest part of Coca-Cola's supply chain and is under growing stress. The framework focuses on reducing water use through efficiency and reuse, recycling wastewater, and replenishing water to communities and nature. Coca-Cola has invested over $1 billion in wastewater treatment and replenishes 68% of its production volume. The company aims to balance its consumptive water use and replenish 100% of production volume by 2020 through watershed protection projects. It also outlines potential replenishment activities and their impacts on water quantity and quality.
The document discusses the role of the Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA) in mobilizing financing for green economy projects through mechanisms like the National Green Fund. It describes the types of funding and financing instruments provided by the Green Fund, including grants, loans, and equity, to support initiatives that promote renewable energy, low carbon development, and environmental management. The Green Fund aims to facilitate South Africa's transition to a greener economy through strategic investments across key sectors.
This document discusses two approaches for improving long-term stewardship of conserved lands in Illinois. The first approach is to establish regional stewardship partnerships across the state based on the collective impact model. This would formalize existing informal networks and provide a paid coordinator in each region to facilitate partnerships and technical expertise. The second approach is to create a nonprofit agricultural cooperative to purchase and manage farmland as an endowment. Income from sustainably managed farmland would grow over time to fund stewardship activities. The document outlines implementation plans and next steps to pilot these dual approaches to address barriers like reliable long-term funding and increased capacity for land trusts.

Sustainability and the Cost of Compliance with the Clean Water Act: Implement...Judith Marquez
Stormwater programs have contributed to significant improvement in our nation’s water quality. However, while very important, stormwater programs are also very costly. This paper describes the difficulty in adequately funding the stormwater program in Huntington Beach, CA with general funds. While water and wastewater fees have become the norm, stormwater fees have not, but are being developed in cities nationwide, and should be developed in Huntington Beach. A review and comparison of other cities that have developed dedicated funding determined that it requires a change in policy. Through implementing a utility fee the City of Huntington Beach will be able to acquire necessary funds to adequately fund its stormwater program.
This document discusses India's progress towards achieving "Everyone Forever" (EF), which means ensuring everyone has sustainable access to water and sanitation services indefinitely. It notes that while coverage is nearly universal, over 30% of systems are not functioning properly. The document outlines factors like existing policies and investments that could support EF, but notes financing is not currently designed for long-term resilience. It proposes developing service delivery models, monitoring, and financing plans to achieve EF through collaboration between various stakeholders at national, state, district and community levels. Success would be measured by impact indicators like the percentage of people with reliable water supply meeting quality standards and user satisfaction levels.

This document summarizes a potential pay for success program to address childhood asthma through healthy homes interventions in Springfield, MA. It outlines the basic pay for success model and how it could apply to reducing asthma triggers in the home. Unhealthy homes cause 40% of asthma episodes, so addressing root causes through environmental assessments, education, and repairs could significantly improve health outcomes. The evidence shows home-based multi-trigger interventions recommended by the Surgeon General and Task Force can reduce asthma hospitalizations and costs. Measurable savings in healthcare utilization could repay private investors if a targeted number of asthma episodes are averted.

- Fees are usually based on impervious surface area using an Equivalent Residential Unit. Credits can incentivize green infrastructure.
- Partnerships can help smaller municipalities by sharing services, equipment, and expertise. Various financing options are also available.
This document discusses 13 lessons learned about implementing green infrastructure. It begins by describing proposed changes to New Jersey regulations that would require non-structural stormwater management strategies and minimum standards for recharge, runoff quality and quantity to be met using green infrastructure for major developments disturbing over 1 acre of land. It then provides lessons such as locating green infrastructure strategically, maintaining it long-term, using engineered soil, capturing water from all areas, and how green infrastructure can benefit and engage communities. The overall message is that green infrastructure is an effective approach for managing stormwater and achieving regulatory goals while creating aesthetic and ecological benefits.
The document summarizes New Jersey's stormwater management rules. It discusses amendments made in 2018-2019 that were adopted in March 2020, with an effective date of March 2021. Key changes include requiring the use of green infrastructure to manage stormwater close to its source, establishing drainage area limitations for certain GI BMPs, clarifying definitions, and requiring stormwater quality, quantity, and recharge standards to be met on-site for each drainage area.
This document outlines a collaborative project between New Jersey Future, the Village of Ridgewood, and Age Friendly Ridgewood to create an aging-friendly community in Ridgewood. It was funded by the Henry and Marilyn Taub Foundation. The project aims to improve pedestrian safety and mobility, expand housing diversity and affordability, and create a more vibrant downtown area. Main goals include engaging residents, improving intersections for pedestrians, exploring housing options for older residents, improving street furniture and lighting at bus stops, and implementing a phased plan for sidewalk and crosswalk improvements.
This document discusses smart growth and form-based code approaches to community planning. Smart growth encourages compact, walkable development with a mix of uses, housing types, and transportation options. Form-based code regulates physical form to achieve a specific urban context. It uses standards for streets, blocks, and building heights/types to create predictable, vibrant neighborhoods. Both approaches aim to integrate development, reduce sprawl, foster livability and sustainability for people of all ages.
This document summarizes a presentation given by Isaac D. Kremer, Executive Director of the Metuchen Downtown Alliance, about creating an age-friendly community through tactical urbanism projects. Some key points:

Their initiatives like community challenge grants and age-friendly networks help communities become more livable for residents of all generations.
Cars were tearing along streets in Detroit at high speeds of up to 20 miles per hour in the summer of 1917, dodging pedestrians and horse teams, resulting in 31 people being killed in car crashes within two months and many injuries that were not recorded.
The document discusses some of the challenges involved in managing redevelopment plans (RDPs) in Jersey City, New Jersey. It notes that Jersey City has 87 RDP areas adopted since 1952 to redevelop and revitalize parts of the city. However, RDPs can become outdated and fail to account for changes in surrounding contexts. Other challenges include reconciling density standards between plans, amending plans, and ensuring plans support current trends in mixed-use and transit-oriented development. Redeveloping areas with expired or obsolete plans also poses difficulties.
This document discusses the adaptive reuse of old buildings by giving them new lives. It highlights how preserving historic buildings can revitalize neighborhoods while providing environmental benefits over new construction. The presentation provides several case studies of old buildings from the early 20th century that have been adaptively reused as hotels, apartments, and office spaces. It argues that adaptively reusing existing structures is more sustainable than demolishing them to build anew.
The document summarizes New Jersey's Land Bank Law, which allows municipalities to establish land bank entities to address vacant and abandoned properties. It describes the legal precedents that led to the law, including two cases where the courts found that land banking was not a valid public purpose for eminent domain. The summary explains the basics of how land banks can be established and operated under the new law, including their powers, procedures for acquisition and disposition of properties, requirements for public databases and community involvement, and the constitutional questions surrounding the use of eminent domain for land banking.
This document discusses the work of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's Office of Brownfield and Community Revitalization to promote revitalization in communities like Perth Amboy.
