Water-Wise Climate Solutions to Mitigate, Adapt and ThriveCOP24 Global Climate Action Water Action Event
• COP13 Decisions
• Guidance on identifying peatlands as Wetlands of International Importance (Ramsar Sites) for global climate change regulation as an additional argument to existing Ramsar criteria
• Restoration of degraded peatlands to mitigate and adapt to climate change and enhance biodiversity and disaster risk reduction
• Blue Carbon on promoting conservation, restoration and sustainable management of coastal blue carbon ecosystems
• Strategic Plan 2016-2024, its goals and targets to address the drivers of wetland loss and degradation and the need for restoration
• Cultural values, indigenous peoples and local communities, and climate change mitigation and adaptation in wetlands
• Agriculture in wetlands
• Sustainable urbanization, climate change and wetlands
• Gender and wetlands
The mission of Ramsar Convention
Intergovernmental treaty that provides the framework for national action and international cooperation for the
conservation and wise use of wetlands and their resources.
Number of Contracting Parties: 170Number of Ramsar Sites: 2,334
Total surface of designated sites: 249,601,723 ha

Key steps
o Enhancing the network of Ramsar Sites and other wetland protected areas
o Integrating wetlands into planning and the implementation of the post-2015 development agenda
o strengthening legal and policy arrangements to conserve all wetlands
o implementing Ramsar guidance to achieve wise use
o applying economic and financial incentives for communities and businesses
o ensuring participation of all stakeholders in wetland management
o improving national wetland inventories and tracking
wetland extent.
Key messagesHealthy, functioning natural wetlands are critical to human livelihoods and sustainable development.
Although still covering a global area almost as large as Greenland, wetlands are declining fast, with 35% losses since 1970,
Wetland fauna & flora are in crisis, with a quarter of species at risk of extinction.
Quality of remaining wetlands is also suffering, due to drainage, pollution, invasive species, unsustainable use, disrupted flow regimes and climate change.
Yet wetland ecosystem services, ranging from food security to climate change mitigation, are enormous, far outweighing those of terrestrial ecosystems.

How does IDB Invest ensure that water projects contribute to the Paris Agreement and the NDCs?
Mitigation• Energy efficiency in water distribution• & water losses: Wacclim collaboration indicated
70% reduction in GHG emissions.• Innovation: smart meters in The Bahamas.• Solid waste management: termo & waste to
energy.
Adaptation.• Depuration: PPPs for decentralized solutions.• Dessalination: high waterstressed areas.
Transversal to adaptation & mitigation.• Mutual Insurance project for adaptation.• ESCO for energy savings for mitigation.
Advisory services. Coupling financial with non-financial solutions to ensure our investments maximize value for our clients.
Project finance. long term senior and subordinated debt at project SPV level in local currency and US dollars.
Guarantees. construction, first loss, liquidity facilities and other long-term guarantees. Usually in local currency to enhance issuances of project bonds.
Corporate loans. Project loans at the developer/ sponsor level.
Equity position. emphasis in corporatization, and access to capital market
Subscriptions. to specific project, or corporate bonds.
Financial and non-financial solutions Advisory Services in Water and Sanitation
Water and Sanitation in the context of Sustainable Infrastructure
Lessons Learned
1. Demand for comprehensive solutions: financial support taking into account, institutional, social and environmental aspects (Fig 1).
2. Need to strengthen the management of the utilities by promoting cost recovery, efficiency (loss reduction), higher regulation and control standards, transparency and long-term planning.
3. Need to include gender perspective and climate change resiliency in the design and execution of operations.
