Water stress and human migration (GWP/OSU/FAO)
• 184 peer-reviewed, empirical research articles selected for their focus on linkages between water stress and human migration:
• Human migration is nothing new
• Declined agricultural production is a common mechanism for translating water stress into migration
• High and sustained temperatures are stronger predictors of migration than water stress
• Institutions and responsive policies have tremendous influence on the likelihood of migration
• Investment in adaptation is smart border policy
• A delayed migration reaction leaves time for intervention, but not much
• Water stress may contribute to poverty traps

NDC in Pakistan: facts, finance and fiction?• Plans and policies: public climate-related expenditures: 8% to water
• Glaciers melting, glaciers growing?
• Retention and storage: dams yet the groundwater storage is forgotten
• No water economy culture, no water scarcity culture along Indus
• Flood and drought extremes: 38m people, USD18Bn, 10m acres lost: opportunities for water demand management under scarcity
• Adaptation finance: need USD7-14Bn/yr; flood risk redux USD2-4/yr
• NAP in development; access to Green Funds (pre-investment, funds)
• Adaptation priorities
• Pakistan Water Partnership engaged through WACREP
• Hisaar Foundation: Drought Management and Arid Zones

Priming the pump: pour, pull, and then?

Bonn Fiji Outcomes
• Pre-investments needed in info, inclusion, innovation, institutions before investments in infra (’priming the pump’)
• ’Usual suspects’: Accredited entities to support countries accessing GCF/Green Funds (risk of ’commission-driven projects’?)
• The three C’s: Commitments, commitments, commitments
• Private sector needs ’enabling de-risked governance framework’ in order to unlock its own USD Bn investments towards scaling up adaptation=water
• Data needed, awareness needed, action needed: NOW!
• Tipping points are close if not already crossed (Future Earth)

Headline news: wake up, Pakistan!
• Water scarcity in Pakistan – A bigger threat than terrorism• Pakistani authorities are negligent about an impending water crisis that
is posing a serious threat to the country's stability. Pakistan likely to dry up by 2025.
• Citizens Forums to make the change happen• Federal Water Policy urgently needed, regulations at Province level• Upstream/downstream allocations to be based
on District water balances, incl groundwater andconjunctive use in basins
• Get real on water pricing, pollution pricing, quality• pricing, environment pricing• Delink land tenure from water rights & allocations• Educate Mothers for Water: the reform starts here
