  1. China Briefing for ADB WWF Consultation July 24th 2008

  2. CONTENTS Freshwater and Drinking Water Safety Climate Change Adaptation Energy and Low Carbon Cities Chinese Ecological Footprint Earthquake

  3. Water Crisis: A high priority in China -Flood -Drought -Pollution -Soil & water erosion -Biodiversity losses -Over exploitation

  4. IRBM is the best approach Platforms: -Yangtze Forum (YF), -International Yellow River Forum(IYRF), -Yangtze River Forum of Organism Resources Conservation, -Others, eg. China Association of Promoting Democracy • IRBM Framework • Institutional arrangements • River Basin Management Planning • Stakeholder and public participation • Science & Technology support • Priorities for implementing IRBM Reasons: -Conflicts among Water-related laws, -Nine Dragons (Water management authorities) managing water

  5. Platforms for Partnership Building Cooperation relationship established through initial exchanges Promote IRBM through the partnerships MoUs signed to strengthen Partnerships with various stakeholders

  6. 5. Platforms for Communications & Branding Media Exhibitions

  7. Lake-River Reconnection

  8. Lake-riverreconnection Lake Zhangdu • 17 lakes reconnected 1,900km2 • Flooding mitigation, protection from climate change impacts • Increased fish production and economic benefit

  9. Lake Hong restored! • WWF’s pilot demonstration adopted by Government, policy change and investment to restore Lake Hong ecosystem • water quality improved • bird species retuned and fish stock build up • community’s income in Lake Hong tripled • Lake Hong has been designated as Ramsar Site in last year

  10. East Lake Water-network Rebuilding Project Yangtze River 监测样点 Site 监测断面 Transect

  11. Wetland Conservation Network 22 Nature Reserves of 6 different types as the first Member of the Network, covering an area of 1.2 M hm2.

  12. Fallen stock Greenhouse gases emissions Rendering Waste water Liquid manure Solid manure Treatment … …. to water course Land spreading Irrigation Clean Intensive Pig farming Pilot project

  13. The Sanjiang Plain, 108,900 square kilometers, where the Songhua, Heilongjiang, and Wusuli rivers form a vast alluvial floodplain in the northeast Heilongjiang Province (and Amur Heilong Ecoregion).

  14. Water system change 1980 Hydrology situation changed 2000 Ditches increased and wetland has been drained into farmland

  15. WWF’s Freshwater Strategy of Amur ecoregion (developed with stakeholders) Promotion of green hydroprower concept (which local govermental stakeholders accept). Support wetland friendly agriculture and promote brand of the organic production in Momoge and Naolihe wetland. Established wetland PA network, Oriental White Stork regard as Flagship species.

  16. Free Flowing Study and PA Network In order to get more public awareness of the ecological function of Amur-Heilong River Basin, WWF China organized related senior scientists to carry out the Free Flowing Study from July 2008 to June 2009 to help decision makers to have integrated ideas for the sustainable view of the conservation and development of the whole basin. • Introduce the successful experiences experience for PA Network to Amur-Heilong from Central and Lower Yangtze, which provide the platform for all the stakeholders to share information for nature conservation and experience for PA management.

  17. SHANGHAI ESTUARY CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPATION PARTNERSHIP Limited nature resources Pollution of upper river basin Unbalanced development of economy & environment Hydrologic engineering of upper river basin Pollution of external region Climate change impacts Demand of shipping business A lot more to be listed… Estuary

  18. II. Basic information Why Shanghai? – a highly pressed area • As the estuary/river mouth • Pollution capacity; • Daily discharge; • Change of river sediments • … • As a city • ~ 18 million population; • ~ 6340 km2 Area; • Lake of natural resources; • Limited land; • Unbalance economic development & environmental protection • … • Impacts of CC: • Sea level rise/Seawater invasion; • Extreme climate/ natural disaster; • Habitat degradation; • … • As part of the delta • Pollution; • Blue algae bloom; • Water supply shortage; • …

  19. Self- purification capability Water quality Water pollution Evaluation indicators …… Governmental Environmental Management standards Population density Sensitivity zoning of water system

  20. Water supply – Yangtze estuary Chongxi Qingcaosha Langgang Chenhang Meimaosha Route of seawater invasion of Yangtze Estuary

  21. Spatial Planning for Adaption The key technical means: Over-lay of GIS analysis for variable factors

  22. Demo site 取水口 Demonstration: Water source protection The demo-project aims to integrate all the available advanced wetland restoration technologies. Dianshan Lake 太 浦 河 Huangpu River

  23. Climate Change & Energy

  24. Focus of WWF China Climate Negotiation Business Club Low Carbon City Initiative Climate Change & Energy Climate Savers 20to20 Campaign

  25. Low Carbon City Initiative SEPA WWF+ERI MOST Expert Group NDRC MOC Best Practice on Regulation & policy Low Emission Technology Cooperation and Diffusion Low Emission Business Expansion Capacity Building & Awareness Raising National Dissemination Activity in Pilot Cities International Communication Shanghai Baoding …… ……

  26. Low Carbon City Initiative (BD) 30 15 5.72 1.52 0.6 2006 2007 2005 2008 2004 More than 40 manufactures on solar PV equipment More than 50 manufactures on wind turbine and the components Zhong Hang (Baoding) Huiteng Wind power Equipment Co., had conquered 90% of blade market in China. Production Value of 100million RMB

  27. Bottom Up MACs – Vattenfall (McKinsey) (2030)

  28. (1) Newly built eco-buildings (2) Energy- efficient renovation of large commercial buildings Energy consumption survey and auditing; Renovation demonstrations; Tech, product, and Financing mechanism for renovation. (3)Partners: Shanghai Construction and Communication Commission Shanghai Research Institute of Building Sciences and, Real estate developers Large commercial building owners ESCOs Energy efficiency investment companies EE product providers, etc. Low Carbon City Initiative (Shanghai

  29. Low carbon city development of China, it’s of your business Chinese policy work: Central/Provincial Government Support Role of ADB? International and national policy work: Export support of EE and RE industry International and national B&I: Multi-national companies investment City Planning Building Transport Industry Public Public private partnerships North-South: North-south EE and RE Technology transfer and cooperation International and national B&I: Support from the financial sector International B&I + academic Best practice and expertise from developed countries International GAA: Fund support from other donors and countries

  30. China Ecological Footprint China is the world’s fastest growing economy – soon to be the world’s biggest economy Growth fuelled by OECD over-consumption & increasing Chinese consumption in a resource-intensive economy: Cheap imports, Cheap jobs and Cheap consumer goods. Example: timber 30 million tonnes imported pa today, 150 mill tonnes pa projected by 2020 Where will this timber come from? Congo? Mekong? Borneo? But not simply a Chinese demand: 70% of China’s SEA timber imports are re-exported More than 20% of China’s energy use for making export goods Unless cycle of resource intensive production and global over-consumption is broken, the scale of China’s resource needs will doom many of WWFs priority places. Fighting place by place is futile, unless we simultaneously address consumption patterns. Crucially, the single country at the apex of this triangular trade – China – wants to change

  31. The “DNA” of China SHIFT: Triangular approach

  32. Eg China Africa Exchange Trip • AIM • To find out facts on economic development and environment protection in Gabon with a focus on timber-related commercial activities by Chinese companies • To facilitate information exchanges on trade, investment and environment among the stakeholders, including bilateral governments, research institutes and private sector • To strengthen collaborations in WWF Network Gabon 19~23 May Tanzania 12 ~16 May PARTNERS Research Centre of Outwards Investment from China, Chinese Academy of International Trade & Economic Cooperation, Ministry of Commerce

  33. Where we visited Gabon 19~23 May Tanzania 12 ~16 May

  37. Working towards Sustainable Trade • Partner: WTO Affairs Dept, MOFCOM • Report of Strategic Trade Support for China’s Sustainable Development An MoA with MOFCOM

  38. Total Footprint in 2003 Brazil 3% Japan 4% Russia 4% Rest of the world India 6% 31% China 15% EU27 17% USA 20%

  39. China’s Net Inflow of biocapacity Inflow Outflow

  40. Global Deal NI Links to other NIs and priority programs Green Heart of Africa NI, East Africa NI Market Transformation NI, Smart Fishing NI Coral Triangle NI Heart of Borneo NI Smart Energy NI (pipeline) China SHIFT ACTION: identify one point person per NI/priority program to help confirm priority links (joint targets) Mekong EAP Amur EAP Yangtze EAP

  41. Sustainable Fisheries Objectives • All Greater Chinese Offshore fleets harvest fisheries stocks sustainably in international and regional marine ecosystem • Inshore over-fished stocks restored, other resources maintained • All Greater China fishing fleet minimise impact on non-targeted species
