Agriculture Water Productivity "A Tool for Modernizing Irrigation and Water Management", World Bank, Land and Water Days in Near East & North Africa, 15-18 December 2013, Amman, Jordan
Presented by Sonali Senaratna Sellamuttu at the fifth International Conference on Water Resources and Hydropower Development in Asia (Colombo, Sri Lanka, 11-13 March 2014). Hydropower development in the Mekong River Basin is advancing rapidly but very little attention is paid to constructing and operating dams in ways that benefit all water users. Riparian and displaced are often unable to engage in their original livelihood activities after dam construction. New livelihood options for these communities can be created or included in dam planning, as made evident by two pilot studies highlighted in the presentation. The pilots, carried out under a CPWF Mekong project, were an integrated rice-fish culture near the Theun Hinboun Expansion Project (Lao PDR) and the introduction of a new strain of cassava near the Yali Dam site (Vietnam). These pilots showed how research for development and partnering with key actors in the private and public sectors has the potential to lead to the development of new livelihood-enhancement opportunities in modified environments created by dams.

Presentation by Claudia Ringler, Hartwig Kremer and Cheikh Mbow at the UNEA Science Policy Interface, May 19-20
Presentation focuses on the concept of the water, food and energy nexus and its importance within the development context. It also provides a number of cases highlighting nexus issues.
The drafting process the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) relating to water should resist overly rigid approaches to implementation and target setting which could limit development options for poor countries. Key challenges include realistic targets, carefully considering the local context to address the needs of the poor, and promoting sustainable water resources development in a way that values healthy ecosystems.

OECD Green Talks LIVE | Diving deeper: the evolving landscape for assessing w...OECD Environment
Water is critical for meeting commitments of the Paris Agreement and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Our economies rely on water, with recent estimates putting the economic value of water and freshwater ecosystems at USD 58 trillion - equivalent to 60% of global GDP. At the same time, water related risks are increasing in frequency and scale in the context of climate change.
How are investments shaping our economies and societies exposure to water risk? What role can the financial system play in supporting water security? And how can increased understanding of how finance both impacts and depends on water resources spur action towards greater water security?
This OECD Green Talks LIVE on Tuesday 14 May 2024 from 15:00 to 16:00 CEST discussed the evolving landscape for assessing water risks to the financial system.
OECD Policy Analyst Lylah Davies presented key findings and recommendations from recent OECD work on assessing the financial materiality of water-related risks, including the recently published paper “Watered down? Investigating the financial materiality of water-related risks” and was joined by experts to discuss relevant initiatives underway.

Climate Change All over the World .pptxsairaanwer024
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity

Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
Altered Terrain: Colonial Encroachment and Environmental Changes in Cachar, A...PriyankaKilaniya
The beginning of colonial policy in the area was signaled by the British annexation of the Cachar district in southern Assam in 1832. The region became an alluring investment opportunity for Europeans after British rule over Cachar, especially after the accidental discovery of wild tea in 1855. Within this historical context, this study explores three major stages that characterize the evolution of nature. First, it examines the distribution and growth of tea plantations, examining their size and rate of expansion. The second aspect of the study examines the consequences of land concessions, which led to the initial loss of native forests. Finally, the study investigates the increased strain on forests caused by migrant workers' demands. It also highlights the crucial role that the Forest Department plays in protecting these natural habitats from the invasion of tea planters. This study aims to analyze the intricate relationship between colonialism and the altered landscape of Cachar, Assam, by means of a thorough investigation, shedding light on the environmental, economic, and societal aspects of this historical transformation.
"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.

• Water related agricultural support in OECD declined by 48% in
20 years to USD 5.7 billion in 2019 and is mostly dedicated to
hydrological infrastructure.
• OECD PSE for irrigation declined by 63% from 2000-19.

About USD 1.4 billion of development assistance is spent every year, 60% on Asia.
In aggregate all the above estimates suggest that a minimum USD 43 billion/yr is supporting
agriculture water use globally.

6. 2. What priorities for investment?
• Balancing increased demand for food and
dietary changes with water availability
• 275 m hectares of irrigated cropland require
improved water management (FAO, 2020)
• Regional differences in needs:
• Asia: mostly modernization and
improved management
• MENA: improved management,
efficiency and alternative water uses
• Sub Saharan Africa: irrigation
expansion in particular regions

General recommendations (ch. 2)
Managing water quantity (ch.3)
Improving water quality (ch.4)
Managing water risks and disasters (ch.5)
Ensuring sustainable pricing for water and water services (ch. 8)
• Improved policies are needed for financing to be sustainable
• Ensure government agriculture-water policy coherence, by:
• Reforming potentially water harmful support
• Encouraging irrigation cost-recovery
• Bolstering agriculture innovation
• Robust water monitoring (based on consumption) and water
allocation system should precede any irrigation investment
• Private investments should be responsible
• Investments need to be transparent, inclusive and sustainable,
following international guidelines for responsible agriculture
investment (CFS, 2014), e.g., by applying the OECD-FAO
Guidance for Responsible Agricultural Supply Chains
(OECD/FAO, 2016).

8. • Scaling up water financing is needed for agriculture to
meet changing food demand and to respond to societal
objectives in the context of growing water risks.
• First estimates show that a minimum USD 43 billion/yr is
spent by governments on agriculture and water, however
not all of that amount is aligned with these objectives
• Investments should target gaps, avoid pitfalls and be
coupled with improved policies to ensure that they lead
to responsible and sustainable outcomes.
