The presentation discusses The Nature Conservancy's experience with water funds. It summarizes that water funds are an innovative model for long-term watershed conservation where cities and other users provide steady funding to protect upstream lands through conservation actions. The Latin America Water Funds Partnership aims to create and strengthen at least 32 water funds in the region by 2015, impacting over 3 million hectares and benefiting over 50 million people. Examples of water funds in Colombia, Brazil, and Peru are provided.

Sustinable water Infrastructure Through Innovative FinancingIwl Pcu
Purpose: To quantitatively understand the future needs for water investment to:
Address U.S. population growth/economic needs, and renew existing aging infrastructure.
Estimates were made for water and wastewater, investment, cost and payments (2000-2019).
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.

Water Sustainability Summit
What will it take?
Lake Oroville, California - Before Summer 2015
“the use of water that supports the ability of human society to endure and flourish into the indefinite future without undermining the integrity of the hydrological cycle or the ecological systems that depend on it.”
Sounds good.
What’s Gleick’s own critique of this?
“By itself, however, it is too general to offer guidance for water managers, planners, and scientists.
To make decisions about how to allocate and use water resources, other goals and criteria need to be identified.”
We Start with Peter Gleick’s Take on Water Sustainability

Subsídios iniciais do Sistema das Nações Unidas no Brasil sobre a identificação de indicadores nacionais referentes aos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável, participando pelo UNOPS.
Contexto – UNOPS
A missão do UNOPS é servir pessoas ampliando a habilidade das Nações Unidas, de governos e de outros parceiros para gerir projetos, infraestrutura e compras de forma sustentável e eficiente.
Nestas três áreas principais de especialidade, o UNOPS fornece a seus parceiros serviços transacionais, de assessoria e de implementação, incluindo a construção de escolas e hospitais, a compra de bens e serviços e o treinamento de equipes locais. O UNOPS trabalha lado a lado com governos e comunidades para garantir maior sustentabilidade econômica, social e ambiental para os projetos que apoiamos, com foco no fortalecimento da capacidade nacional.
Trabalhando em alguns dos locais mais desafiadores do mundo, nossa visão é avançar práticas de implementação sustentáveis em contextos de desenvolvimento, humanitários e de consolidação da paz, sempre atendendo ou superando as expectativas de nossos parceiros.
Com uma equipe de mais de 7.000 pessoas em 80 países, o UNOPS oferece a seus parceiros o conhecimento logístico, técnico e de gestão que eles precisam no local que eles precisam. Nossa estrutura flexível e alcance global nos permitem responder rapidamente à necessidades de nossos parceiros oferecendo os benefícios de ganhos de escala.
Contexto – Cargo
Parcerias Público-Privadas (PPP) são uma nova área para o UNOPS. Queremos ampliar os serviços oferecidos para apoiar governos no financiamento e na melhora operacional da prestação de serviços públicos, além da construção ou remodelagem da infraestrutura física. Alavancando a ampla experiência do UNOPS em infraestrutura e compras, a assessoria especializada em PPP, incluindo serviços financeiros e jurídicos especializados, ajuda nossos parceiros a atingirem seus objetivos.
O Serviço de Assessoria em PPP estará incluem temas como: upstream (estratégica) ou downstream (transacional) para os governos/clientes do UNOPS, por meio da coordenação de uma equipe complexa de especialistas, gestão do cronograma e de entregas, controle de qualidade, gestão de relacionamentos, etc.
UNOPS gere mais de 20 projetos de saúde, com um valor total de USD 600 milhões na América Latina e Caribe. Em temas como:
1. Infraestrutura
2. Cadeias de suprimento
3. Manutenção
4. Reorganização do sistema de saúde
5. Planejamento
A Organização das Nações Unidas para Agricultura e Alimentação, FAO, entre os dias 10 e 17 de outubro a Semana Mundial da Alimentação. Para marcar a data no Brasil, FAO, ANDEF, ABAG e EMBRAPA realizam o Fórum Inovação: Agricultura e Alimentos para o Futuro Sustentável. Em 2013, a sua quinta edição foi realizada no dia 10 de outubro, na capital de São Paulo.
Para celebrar sua quinta edição, o Fórum lança o tema DESAFIO 2050, refletindo a questão global colocada pela FAO-ONU em 2009: precisaremos alimentar um planeta com 9 bilhões de habitantes em 2050. Usando ciência e inovação, espera-se que o Brasil responda por 40% do crescimento na produção mundial de alimentos. Como podemos trabalhar juntos para vencer este desafio, em quantidade e qualidade? Lideranças da cadeia produtiva de alimentos e de setores importantes da sociedade apresentarão seus pontos de vista. Unidos podemos alimentar o planeta.
Para a representante da TNC, o Cadastro Ambiental Rural (CAR), previsto no Código Florestal, deve ser usado como uma ferramenta de planejamento da produção agrícola sustentável. “É possível planejar o espaço, o ambiente rural de maneira que permita a conservação ecossistêmica. Além disso, é possível desenvolver cadeias produtivas sustentáveis alem das percepções tradicionais”, disse ela.
Suelma afirmou também que, em países em desenvolvimento, ainda existe uma percepção de que expandir a produção agropecuária envolve a conversão de áreas de floresta em áreas produtivas. Ela defendeu, por outro lado, a intensificação da produção como alternativa de sustentabilidade.
“É possível expandir planejadamente a área agricultável”, garantiu a representante da TNC. “É possível planejar a ocupação da paisagem identificando áreas de alto valor de conservação e alto valor de produção”, acrescentou, lembrando que, há alguns anos, se declarações como esta fossem feitas por representantes de ONG’s, causariam protestos.
A representante da TNC afirmou ainda que é preciso criar uma “cultura” relacionada à agropecuária sustentado que envolva do produtor ao consumidor final. E defendeu os mecanismos de rastreabilidade da produção como uma das alternativas tecnológicas para atingir esse objetivo.
“O rastreamento da cadeia produtiva do campo à mesa permite ao consumidor ter consciência da origem do seu alimento. É necessário criar uma cultura sustentável no consumidor”, disse Suelma, destacando também a importância de outros instrumentos, como certificação sócio-ambiental e programas de redução de desmatamento e degradação de áreas.

Nós somos parte da natureza. A noção de interdependência entre o bem-estar das pessoas e a
conservação do meio ambiente permeia as ações da The Nature Conservancy no Brasil há mais de
duas décadas. Conservamos os ecossistemas em sua plenitude para que as populações possam ter
acesso aos recursos essenciais à vida. É por esse motivo que me sinto tão orgulhosa de me juntar a
essa equipe.
A natureza, sabemos, garante nossos alimentos, sacia a nossa sede, protege a nossa saúde,
purifica o ar que respiramos, produz a energia que move a nossa economia e a inspiração que
alimenta as nossas almas. E partindo do entendimento de que as terras e as águas do planeta
têm um valor inestimável para o bem-estar humano, defendemos também a aproximação entre
agendas e atores sociais.
Para a TNC, somente por meio do trabalho colaborativo e articulado entre ambientalistas,
mercado, governos e sociedade será possível alcançar resultados de conservação sustentáveis e
duradouros. Quanto mais eficiente for a mobilização e o engajamento dos múltiplos parceiros na
agenda de conservação, maior o ganho para todos os envolvidos.
Nas próximas páginas, contamos como estamos trabalhando. Espero que as histórias lidas a seguir,
de pessoas cuja vida foi tocada pelo trabalho da TNC e seus parceiros, possam incentivar suas
reflexões e motivá-lo a se juntar ao nosso esforço para promover a qualidade de vida por meio da
conservação do meio ambiente.
Boa leitura!
Incorporar as dimensões econômicas
e sociais aos objetivos de conservação,
não signifi ca alterar os objetivos
de conservação, mas promover a
percepção da interconexão entre as
agendas econômica, social e ambiental,
irremediavelmente interdependentes.
A parceria entre os ambientalistas, o
mercado e a sociedade na promoção
da conservação potencializará os
resultados, com aumento da escala,
e tornará os ganhos duradouros.
Em outras palavras, os resultados de
conservação serão mais sustentáveis
quanto mais efi cientes for a mobilização
e o engajamento de múltiplos parceiros
para a agenda de conservação.

Plano de ativação de marca de parceiros na Conferência das Nações Unidas sobre Desenvolvimento Sustentável (Rio+20), de responsabilidade do Comitê Nacional de Organização (CNO Rio+20).
Configurações da Marca Rio+20
a marca Rio+20 deve ser preservada e apresentada sempre em conformidade com o padrão e normas deste manual.
em qualquer peça de comunicação ou ação promocional, independentemente da mídia usada (impressa, eletrônica, etc.) a Rio+20 deve ser claramente identificada por meio de uma de suas versões da marca. a marca é o sinal que identifica o evento e atua como ponto focal em toda comunicação, devendo ser aplicada com clareza e não podendo estar sujeita, portanto, a leituras dúbias ou episódicas.
Qualquer dúvida em relação a esse material deve ser informada ao CnO - Comitê nacional Organizador para eventuais esclarecimentos.
The United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development Rio+20 logo and campaign material have been designed and developed by Graphic Design in New York. The Rio+20 conference will take place in June 2012 in Rio de Janeiro. All elements have been carefully combined so the logo, in its entirety or in the following derivatives, can be used as an effective tool to communicate the ideas and values of the brand. For consistency, the logo must always comply with this Brand Guideline. The logo is based on three components of sustainable development – social equity, economic growth and environmental protection, all connected in the shape of a globe. The three colors blend into each other indicating the connectedness of these different components. The logo Rio+20 is available in six United Nations official languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.
Rio+20 Brand Configurations
The Rio+20 brand must be kept and always presented according to the standards and norms of this guideline. In any kind of promotion or communication activities, no matter which media is used (press, electronic, etc.) Rio+20 must be clearly identified through its brand versions. The brand and the logo that identify the event represent the focal point in all communication. They must be applied clearly in a way to avoid episodic readings.
The National Organizing Committee (NOC) must be contacted if there is any doubt related to this material and for further clarification.

18. At-risk of water-scarcity
• While only 15% of water basins are water-stressed, approximately 50%
of all cities over 100,000 people are in these basins.
In many ways, cities are the center of
water issues
18
19. Sources and focus of infrastructure spending
• Between 60-70% of infrastructure spending in the water sector will be
focused on cities.
• 75% of water infrastructure funding is provided by local or regional
government entities.
Willingness to pay
• Cities have a relatively inelastic demand and willingness to pay for
water and therefore are an important point of leverage in balancing
water use.
19
In many ways, cities are the center of
water issues
20. The Conservancy is currently working in
more than 30 large cities on water issues

Payment for ecological services (PES)
programs, such as Water Funds, are a key tool
• Cities fund a majority of urban
