Sick water? : a central role of wastewater management in sustainable development : a rapid response assessment

Available Online

Corocran, E. ...[et al.]

The world is facing a global water quality crisis. Continuing population growth and urbanisation, rapid industralisation, and expanding and intensifying food production are all putting pressure on water resources and increasing the unregulated or illegal discharge of contaminated water within and beyond national borders. This presents a global threat to human health and wellbeing, with both immediate and long term consequences for efforts to reduce poverty whilst sustaining the integrity of some of our most productive ecosystems. There are many causes driving this crisis, but it is clear that freshwater and coastal ecosystems across the globe, upon which humanity has depended for millennia, are increasingly threatened. It is equally clear that future demands for water cannot be met unless wastewater management is revolutionized.

Suaesi, Tepa

This report is prepared to highlight and share with the wider UNCCD stakeholders some of the key and valuable lessons learned from the experiences of the Pacific Island Countries and region. The report encapsulates the different experiences gained by the Reference Centre, National Focal Points, Country Teams and key regional organisations in the Pacific who were involved in the process for the preparation of the fourth national reports to the UNCCD through the new reporting portal and monitoring system referred to as the PRAIS. The lessons learned report covers the period from June to November of 2010. The report is based on empirical observations from the UNCCD PRAIS Pacific regional training on 12-16 July 2010; the in-country PRAIS trainings held in Samoa, Kiribati, Niue and Nauru from 8 September to 28 October; and a review of electronic correspondence between the Reference Centre and country parties in the Pacific on the preparation of their CCD reports using PRAIS.

Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP)

The UNCCD has developed a new monitoring and reporting system to track and evaluate progress of its implementation through its Ten Year Strategic Plan and Action Framework 2008-2018. The new monitoring system called UNCCD PRAIS is an online monitoring, assessment and reporting system. It is being rolled out through a two year GEF-funded project by the UNCCD Secretariat through a contract with UNEP-WCMC.

The projects major results achieved during the quarter include an increase in inter‐collaborative effort at the pilot level to carry out vulnerability and adaptation (V&A) assessments as a result of the project. The use of participatory community engagement consultations have seen an increase in number of women and children consulted in the assessment stage of the project in Tonga and Samoa. A significant number of women a real so members of national Steering Committees and Core Technical Teams of PACC spear heading work at the pilot sites. Through joint consultation with the communities, clear indications of activities and responsibilities have been mapped out.

Marine and Coastal Biodiversity in the Convention on Biological Diversity

Rather than focusing on areas that may fall outside the scope of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), a closer look at the strengths of the Convention and its synergies with other bodies dealing with marine issues - in particular the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) - can contribute towards a more comprehensive and coherent approach to marine conservation and sustainable use.
