Walking the Walk

By Trends • Jun 1st, 2010

Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Assistance

  • A new international process to catalyze water management public-private partnerships in key water-stressed regions of the world, such as South Africa and India.
  • The establishment of a new agency partnership model between recipient governments and donors as a means of supporting funding flows and capacity- building for fragile states with weak domestic institutions.
  • A global multi-stakeholder partnership to scale the “supply side” commitment to a zero tolerance policy with respect to bribery as a complement to official “demand side” efforts by governments to strengthen policy in this respect.

Environment, Energy, and Sustainability

  • A suite of public-private, low carbon infrastructure investment funds in each developing country region ready for business by 2013 and able to mobilize up to $75 billion per fund every three years to 2030.
  • A global platform for intra-industry cooperation on energy efficiency via the addition of a private sector dimension to the International Partnership for Energy Efficiency Cooperation at the International Energy Agency, potentially leading to a set of globally accepted minimum energy standards on a limited but critical range of energy intensive industrial and consumer goods.
  • Creation of a global standard for the labelling of emission footprints on consumer products, building on work currently underway in the non-governmental organization community.
