Water-Food

Global Risks

Agriculture

often uses 70%+ of blue water,

but

with a low contribution to GDP – the economic competition for blue water

will consequently increase: we will need

much more crop with many less drops

By 2025, annual grain losses due to

water stress could be equivalent to

30% of global cereal consumption Slide10

Infrastructure Investment Gap: the biggest chunk is blue

Water Infrastructure is the

largest “green growth”

Investment requirement

This is just for investment in

water and wastewater services

When risks are looked at more

holistically, can water systems for

agriculture, energy and cities

be smartly re-imagined?

Is there a major market to make

?

Qatar placing 2-3% of its GDP into

R&D in this space Slide14

Financial Risk and Financial Opportunity

A Financial Risk

A choke point on economic growth for some countries

A resource risk for some sectors in some countries: agriculture, energy

An infrastructure risk for potential investors

A material and political risk to the operations of key clients who are large water users

A public governance risk – who is on top of the issue in a given jurisdiction?

A corporate governance risk – who is on top of the issue in the enterprise?

An irrational risk – water is emotive and unlikely to be ever rationally priced

A dynamic risk – trends of climate change or overuse will make matters worse

A Financial Opportunity

All activities need water – it is a non-transferable, non-substitutable resource

More water will be needed: growing economies are thirsty

There will be location specific demands and challenges

There are proven technologies

Key clients of banks and investors are acting, but seek support especially for the long term

The initiative

A

BANKING WATER INTIATIVE

to help meet the demands of large water using clientsSlide15
