Moderator: Andrea Tilche (European Commission DG Research Environmental Technology)
Introduction - “General setting of the global water and energy nexus scene.” (EWP) (10 minutes)
Part 1 - Identification of technology gaps (30 minutes)
Which areas contain present the main challenges? Which technologies and approaches are available to address these challenges and in which areas new technologies and approaches are needed?
- Technology- perspective (Mr. Miguel Lopez – President, Spanish Technology Platform for Water and Irrigation (STPWI) (8 minutes)
- Management-perspective (Mr. Thierry Mallet – CEO Degremont) (8 minutes)
- Discussion
Intermezzo – Video on innovative projects (10 minutes)
Part 2 - Policy recommendations to reduce energy and water footprints (90 minutes)
- Water Footprint as a tool for achieving good water management. (Professor Arjen Hoekstra, University of Twente, The Netherlands) (8 mins)
- Water Footprint of Energy (Dr. Jerson Kelman, ANEEL or Dr Stephen Karekezi , African Energy Policy Research Network or Jose Antonio Rodriguez Tirado, CONAQUA)(tbc) (8 mins)
- Energy Footprint of Water (Henrik Larsen, DHI, Denmark and Adriana Hulsmann, KWR Watercycle Research Institute, The Netherlands) (16 mins)
- National and regional policies that limit the development and implementation of new, innovative technologies and further exacerbate the energy-water nexus. Report on the Policy Session 2.2.1 (Karen Hussey, Australian National University) (8 mins)
- Which corporate policies and approaches are needed to remove these barriers in the short term and which drivers and incentives could be used to improve behaviour? (Heather Cooley, tbc) (8 mins)
- How can innovative technologies help balance the rising costs and scarcity of water and energy and thereby contribute to the MDG’s (Mr. Boroto, tbc) (8 mins)
- Discussion (when setting up the final programme we will decide how to best use the decision time throughout part 2)
Part 3 - Conclusion and recommendations’ proposal and approval (40 mins)
Over the coming months, a process will be set up to draft the recommendations that will be proposed during this session. The key questions on which the session is based are guiding in this process. This process will connect to the many workshops and conferences taking place on Water and Energy as described above and, furthermore, will make use of the VMS of the World Water Forum. The process will be established in consultation with the other topics in the World Water Forum to achieve consistency and avoid overlap. The recommendations will be fed into the political process of the Forum.
This part will consist of a presentation of and panel / audience discussion on these recommendations. The panel will consist of representatives of each of the regions identified by the World Water Forum
