Session: Financial models for integrated solutions

Theme: Cross theme: bankability

Interactive session with presentations of local or regional case(s) that will be matched with promising solutions on the crosscutting theme of financial models. The focus will be on financial models for integrated solutions. There will be diverse forms of interaction between presenters, audience and/or panel.

Inclusive Strategies To Build Bankable Blue-Green Infrastructure Projects to Tackle Water Challenges in Panama City, Semarang and Tacloban

Our session show-cases the collaborated efforts of Wetlands International and ONE Architecture and Urbanism in inclusive blue-green infrastructure measures for urban resilience to climate change. Building strong partnerships of communities, local governments, civil society and international development bodies can contribute to turning policy into local urban resilience action on the ground. This is evidenced by key examples from different continents, where Wetlands International and ONE work to reduce climate changed-fuelled flood risk.

In the interactive part of the session, we aim to take lessons learnt from the cases to the sessions participants to develop a funding or financing strategy for one the cases (Tacloban, Philippines), making sure that urban benefits for people and nature are maximised. The result of the session is:
1) inspiration in new partnerships for inclusive approaches to developing blue-green infrastructure, and
2) a case-based matchmaking between the water sector and finance sector.

Financing the development phase of water projects: Cases challenges and opportunities

If current trends continue, there will be a financing gap of $1200 billion up to 2030 for the realisation of globally needed water infrastructure. Future water challenges will never be met by the public sector alone, and certainly not in upcoming markets. Attracting private finance for water projects worldwide is therefore an absolute must to meet SDG 6, but also a challenging one as water does not easily attract private finance.  At the AIWW 2017, a first attempt was made during several ‘finance’ sessions, to map the investor landscape by identifying different forms and scopes of finance for water.  At the AIWW 2019, we will take the conceptual discussion from 2017 a step further, bringing in actual cases and zooming in where it all starts: the development phase of water projects. This stage is typically the riskiest and hence most difficult to entice investors for.  Three different financing facilities/investors will pitch their financing approach for project development. Which criteria do they apply, how do they add value to the advancement of project development, and what is needed to form partnerships between project developers, water sector parties and investors?

Designing and financing your climate and water projects: Learn more about the bankable resilience tool (BART)

BART is used in high level design workshops where designers, stakeholders, financial engineers and investors come together to conceptualise and develop financially bankable and integrated design solutions to improve cities resiliency. By showing the added value of resiliency measures per stakeholder and maximising benefits, BART increases feasibility and bankability of these measures. The BART can be used as a starting point for discussion on financing coalitions and financial arrangements.

Influence profile of the wastwater chain in Amsterdam: Towards resilient system for phosphorus recovery & valorisation

Challenge: Current methods fail to provide necessary insights into decision-making processes around a circular economy. Which technologies, customers, partners, startups and markets to engage?     

Solution: Organisations collaborated to develop an Integrated Approach, which applies a method from MIT to a context of complex system of circular economy in Amsterdam. We validated it in a conference publication and proceedings by MIT and TUM, as well as workshops with stakeholders of PIB Singapore and students. The outcome is an integrated data-model and a guideline for co-design of circular solutions with evaluation of systemic impacts.   

 The model shows structure of current metabolism in Amsterdam, and possibilities for interventions for phosphorus recovery & valorisation. The guideline provides a methodology to extend the model with new data and to train non-experts. It is also complementary to current methods.

  Maxim has 18 years of engineering experience across the fields of real estate development, circular economy, and cleantech integration. He was involved in early development of Metabolic (sustainability consultancy) and De Ceuvel (neighbourhood in Amsterdam North). There he designed, tested and implemented innovative systems for sanitation, recovery and valorisation of nutrients, water, and human waste, that still work ;) After finishing post-doc at TU Delft, Maxim invented an innovative application of a method developed at MIT, which was used by NASA to send mission to Mars. He thought - why not to use it on Earth?! In 2017 he presented concept of the methodology at AIWW. In 2019, supported by Waternet, TU Delft, Wageningen UR, Witteveen en Bos, HYS Enterprise, Rabobank and many more - he is ready to present a replicable method for finding algorithmic approaches to unlock circular economy in cities.
