Stephen McCaffrey in international water law receives 2017 Stockholm Water Prize

By Xuefei Chen Axelsson

Stockholm, Aug. 31(Greenpost)–Professor Stephen McCaffrey received the 2017 Stockholm Water Prize on Wednesday, for his unparalleled contribution to the evolution and progressive realization of international water law.

The prize was presented to Stephen McCaffrey by H.M. Carl XVI Gustaf, King of Sweden, at a ceremony in Stockholm City Hall during the ongoing World Water Week.

 In its citation, the Stockholm Water Prize Nominating Committee recognized Professor McCaffrey’s “path-breaking leadership and legal scholarship in international water law. He has made a unique contribution in three specific areas: his seminal work on Treaty negotiation; his major scholarly works, including his book The Law of International Watercourses and; his leadership providing expert legal advice, wise counsel, training and facilitation of complex negotiations with a wide range of stakeholders.”

Dr Letitia Obeng, Member of the Stockholm Water Prize Nominating Committee, said: “Professor McCaffrey is an internationally respected pioneer in water law and in diplomacy. Today’s international lawyers stand on his shoulders”.

Water flows where it will and has no regard for national or regionally drawn boundaries. Beneficial hydrological, social, and economic linkages can be fostered among countries which share transboundary waters, with their equitable use promoting peace and development.

Nearly 40 per cent of the world’s population lives in countries that share river basins. Increasing stress on water resources globally will require the reasonable and equitable use of transboundary waters. Improved management of transboundary waters reduces the potential for conflict, fosters socio-economic development, promotes shared benefits, and supports healthy ecosystems and services.

On receiving the Prize, Professor McCaffrey said: “I accept this very special award not only on my own behalf, but also on behalf of many women and men who work so hard in the field to ensure that fresh water can be brought to people in ways that do not strain international relations, but which in fact affirmatively produce win-win solutions for countries and people on the ground in accordance with law”.

Stephen McCaffrey, Distinguished Professor of Law at the University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law, in Sacramento, California, is the single most respected authority on International Water Law. His work continues to influence scholars, legal practitioners and policy-makers and contribute to the sustainable and peaceful management of shared waters.

In an interview with Greenpost.se, McCaffrey said the future lies on cooperation. Only through cooperation can people cope with water issues peacefully and can benefit from cooperation.

 

“Cooperation over shared waters is becoming increasingly important, as we witness higher demand coupled with growing scarcity. Stephen McCaffrey is a true inspiration for us in this area, as well as and an important guide, through his works and his wisdom”, said SIWI’s Executive Director Torgny Holmgren.

More about Professor Stephen McCaffrey

Professor McCaffrey has been acting as legal counsel to states in several negotiations concerning international watercourses. He has served as counsel in many inter-state disputes over shared water resources, for example between Argentina and Uruguay, Pakistan and India, and Slovakia and Hungary, which have been heard by international courts and tribunals.

He has guided, often multi-year negotiation processes among riparian countries with respect to transboundary water law, for example, on the Nile, Mekong, and Ganges, some with numerous countries involved.

In earlier writings, Professor McCaffrey articulated the human right to water which was later recognized by the UN General Embassy as a right in 2010. Additionally, he has provided critical insights, linking water law to policy, conflict resolution, benefit sharing, and environmental protection over the years.

Keynote Address by H.E. Mr. Peter Thomson, President of the 71st Session of the General Assembly at High Level Luncheon on SDG 14 – “Our ocean, our future: call for action”

PGA_First Ocean Outreach Meeting Hong Kong

16 August 2017

Deputy Commissioner, Ms Tong Xiaoling,

Excellencies,

Ladies and Gentlemen,

It is a great pleasure to be back in Hong Kong, one of my favourite cities in the world.

Ever since, I first began travelling here early in my career, I have always been inspired by the energy of the city, the dynamism of its people and its outstanding natural setting.

It is with a view to tapping into those qualities that I am here today. I want to talk with you about a matter of critical importance to our world – the health of the Ocean. I want to talk with you about how each of us can help remedy the cycle of decline in which the Ocean’s health has been caught.

I’m sure you all know that life on this planet depends on the Ocean. It supplies nearly half of the oxygen we breathe, absorbs over a quarter of the carbon dioxide we produce, is a vital source of our planet’s biodiversity, and plays a critical role in regulating our climate.

The Ocean carries 90 per cent of global trade and undersea cables are the backbone of the internet.

It is a vital source of livelihood support for over 300 million people, providing food security, prosperity, employment, and tourism opportunities – particularly for Small Island Developing States such as my home country, Fiji. The Ocean nourishes more than 3 billion people who rely on fish for animal protein.

And let us never underestimate that our Mother Ocean is a seminal source of social, cultural and spiritual inspiration and sustenance for civilizations across our world. We take joy as humans in the creatures, the beauty and the bounty of the Ocean

Despite all these existential properties, the reality is that the Ocean is in trouble, and that the causes of the problems are human-induced.

Destructive fishing practices, overfishing and illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing are putting pressures on marine ecosystems that point towards an ecosystem collapse. Nearly one third of all fish stocks are now below sustainable levels.

The Ocean has become a dumping ground for pollution and waste. Land-based sources of pollution including agricultural run-off, coastal tourism, urban development, untreated sewage and wastewater, and marine debris account for approximately 80 per cent of marine pollution globally, threatening coastal and marine habitats, as well as human health and well-being.

Around the World, there are now close to 500 hypoxic ‘dead zones’ covering more than 245,000 square kilometers, within which there is insufficient oxygen to support most marine life.

And plastics are now the most prevalent forms of marine pollution, contributing an estimated 60 to 80 per cent of all marine debris. Research suggests that by 2050 almost 99 per cent of seabirds will have ingested plastics, and that unless we change our ways, there will be more plastic in the Ocean than fish.

Exacerbating Ocean’s woes are the adverse impacts of climate change, which are causing Ocean acidification; increased Ocean temperatures; sea-level rise; and extreme weather events.

Indeed, since the beginning of the industrial revolution, the Ocean has become 27 percent more acidic, with some studies showing increasing rates of acidification with severe implications for our ecosystems.

The consequences of these anthropogenic influences on the state of for coral reefs, mangroves, fish-stocks and marine ecosystems have already been devastating.

And for some low-lying Small Island Developing States and coastal populations,    the threat of rising sea-levels is threatening their very existence. For large swathes of the world’s coastlines, sea level rise will engulf food-basket river deltas and low-lying cities.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

The magnitude of the challenge we face is enormous.

And the reality is that we have all in one way or another contributed to the decline in the Ocean’s health.

But, for every human created problem there is a human solution. It is therefore incumbent upon us all to take responsibility for our past behavior, and to act decisively to save Ocean’s health.

Such action will require the combined efforts of all stakeholders – Governments, the United Nations, civil society, the scientific community, business sector, and indeed for us all as responsible individuals.

And it will require integrated and cross-cutting action that looks to bend humanity’s current direction away from the precipice of unsustainability, towards a future that is safe, secure and prosperous for all.

It was with this vision in mind that in September 2015, world leaders came together at the United Nations to adopt the historic 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Through 17 universal, integrated and mutually-reinforcing Sustainable Development Goals,  the 2030 Agenda sets out to transform our world for the better. The Agenda will get there by breaking intergenerational cycles of poverty; building peaceful societies; increasing global prosperity; achieving gender equality; protecting our natural environment, and by averting the worst impacts of climate change.

Critically, the 2030 Agenda includes SDG14 to conserve and sustainably utilize the resources of the Ocean. I am proud to say that SDG14 resulted from the dedicated work of many Ocean advocates, particularly Governments and civil society from the Asia-Pacific region. We clearly saw that without a healthy ocean, healthy sustainable conditions for human life on this planet would not be possible.

Taken together with the Paris Climate Agreement, the 2030 Agenda provides humanity with a sustainable future upon this planet. But, having adopted the 2030 Agenda, and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, the delivery of the sustainable future we want, now depends on the faithful implementation of our commitments. The international community must hold firm on this, we must implement our commitments.

To advance implementation efforts, in June this year, the United Nations convened a High-level Conference to Support the Implementation of Sustainable Development Goal 14.

Convened under the co-Presidency of Fiji and Sweden – a partnership reflecting the importance of the Ocean to both developed    and developing countries alike – the Ocean Conference was a game-changer in our efforts to save the Ocean.

With around 6,000 participants, including Heads of State and Government, and high-level representatives from the UN system, civil society, the scientific community, and the business sector, the Conference provided a rallying call for action.

It raised global consciousness to unprecedented levels on the seriousness and comprehensive nature of the challenges facing the Ocean and made all concerned focus on solutions we need. Critically, the Conference led to three specific outcomes.

Firstly, Member States agreed to an ambitious Political Declaration “Our Ocean, our future: Call for Action.” which explicitly sets out a series of priority actions to be taken to save    the Ocean. This declaration was subsequently adopted by acclamation in the General Assembly of the United Nations.

Secondly, Member States and global experts presented a comprehensive range of innovative solutions to the problems facing the Ocean, during seven partnership dialogues focused on the seven most important challenges.

And thirdly, nearly 1,400 voluntary commitments were pledged by stakeholders – individually or in partnership – aimed at advancing the implementation of SDG 14 and its related targets.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

The international community has thus agreed to undertake the decisive action needed to save the Ocean.

We have the international legal framework, as reflected in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

We have the 2030 Agenda, including SDG14 on the conservation and sustainable use of the Ocean’s resources.

And thanks to The Ocean Conference, we    now have specific solutions and voluntary commitments in support of SDG14 that we must implement.

We are all in this together. There is only one Ocean – all rivers, seas, ocean and clouds are connected. Either we continue to ignore the damage we are doing, or we decide to safeguard Ocean’s health

This end, I would like to ask each of you today to join me in taking seven concrete actions to save the Ocean.

First, join the international community in the effort to implement the 2030 Agenda, and to amplify the message of the SDGs across our world.

Second, promote Ocean literacy, and help to nurture a culture of conservation, restoration and sustainable use of the Ocean;

Third, give your support to marine science research so that we can increase scientific knowledge, fill information gaps, and promote policy-making based on the best available science.

Fourth, speak out in support of area-based management tools, including the establishment of marine protected areas.

Fifth, encourage sustainable fisheries management by insisting that the fish you buy is sustainably and lawfully brought to you.

Sixth, take steps in your daily lives to prevent and reduce marine pollution. If, for example, each of us stops using single use plastic bags and takes our own bag to the supermarket, this simple act when replicated by millions of people every day, stands to make an enormous difference.

And finally, be aware and do all you can to minimize your carbon footprint, in order to adapt and mitigate the impacts of climate change.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Looking ahead, Kenya and Portugal have offered to host a follow-up UN Ocean Conference in 2020. We have 3 years to make a difference, before we again gather as a global community to assess our successes and failures and adjust accordingly in support of SDG14’s implementation.

There are other positive moves afoot in the international community. The Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission has called for an International Decade on Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030).

UN Member States have agreed to move as soon as possible to consideration of developing a new treaty on marine biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction.

We can see that momentum for Ocean action is now underway; but we need all hands on deck.

It is my view that saving the Ocean is a sacred task, one in which we must all play our part if we value life on Planet Earth.

Let us therefore embark together on this shared voyage to save the Ocean, to implement the 2030 Agenda, and to preserve humanity’s place on this planet for our grandchildren’s sake and for those who come after them. It is no longer morally acceptable for us to steal from their future, so we must all turn our minds and practices to the imperative of conservation and sustainable use of planetary resources.

I thank you for your attention.

Ryan Thorpe and Rachel Chang from the USA win 2017 Stockholm Junior Water Prize

By Xuefei Chen Axelsson

Stockholm ,29 August 2017(Greenpost) – Two students from the USA, Ryan Thorpe and Rachel Chang, received the 2017 Stockholm Junior Water Prize on Tuesday, for their novel approach to detect and purify water contaminated with Shigella, E. coli, Salmonella, and Cholera. H.R.H. Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden presented the prize at an award ceremony during World Water Week in Stockholm on Tuesday evening.

As the pair received the prize, Rachel Chang said: “I’m feeling so overwhelmed with emotions. All the projects here are absolutely amazing, truly of the highest quality. So, to be able to win such an achievement, it feels incredible”.

In its citation, the Jury said: “This year’s winning project embodies the fundamental principle of providing safe drinking water. The winner’s motivation is to eliminate millions of human deaths each year. The project developed a unique, rapid, and sensitive method to identify, quantify and control water contaminants.”

The students constructed a system that detects and purifies water contaminated with Shigella, E. coli, Salmonella, and Cholera more rapidly and sensitively than conventional methods. Their system detects as little as one reproductive bacteria colony per litre instantaneously and eliminates bacterial presence in approximately ten seconds. In contrast, conventional methods have detection limits of up to 1000 colonies and take one to two days. The students’ novel approach could prevent the contraction and outbreak of waterborne diseases and expand potable water throughout the world.

The Jury was impressed by the winners, in particular their “exceptional intelligence, enthusiasm and true passion for water and human health.”

“This method is applicable to both developed and developing world. The winning project has used fundamental science in an elegant way to address pathogenic bacteria in drinking water. The project has the potential to revolutionize the future of water quality,” the Jury said further.

“This is a very inspiring project that takes on one of the world’s biggest challenges, providing clean drinking water for all. Methods like these can unlock huge human potential, when access to safe drinking water, and by extension health, improves among hundreds of millions of people,” said Torgny Holmgren, Executive Director of SIWI.

The Stockholm Junior Water Prize competition brings together the world’s brightest young scientists to encourage their continued interest in water and the environment. This year, thousands of participants in countries all over the globe joined national competitions for the chance to represent their nation at the international final held during the World Water Week in Stockholm. Teams from 33 countries competed in the 2017 finals.

Diploma of Excellence to students from Bangladesh

 A Diploma of Excellence was awarded to the students Aniruddah Chowdhury, Arnab Chakraborty, and Rituraj Das Gupta from Bangladesh. Their project researched more efficient ways to remove dyes from textile industry discharges, using a composite of titanium dioxide and cheap, locally sourced chemicals.

“By innovative use of existing technology they show new possibilities to cost effectively and efficiently treat harmful waste water from textile industry” the Jury said.

Chinese students Li Minzhang, Chen Huilin and Wang Zekai from Qiaodao Second Middle School  are the winners from China to participate in the Stockholm Junior Water Prize.  Deaf student Zhu Mengke from Xuzhou Special Education School also attended the event.

They are among the 33 plus groups of students from 33 countries in the world.

Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI)  is a water institute, working to improve the way freshwater resources are governed. By combining our areas of expertise with our unique convening power, we influence decision-makers, facilitate dialogue and build knowledge in water issues, thereby contributing to a just, prosperous and sustainable future for all. SIWI organizes World Water Week – the leading annual global meeting place on water and development issues – and hosts Stockholm Water Prize and Stockholm Junior Water Prize, which are awarded during World Water Week.

Hong Kong Investors May Have to Use Their Real Names When Trading Chinese Stocks

By Jiang Bowen and Leng Cheng

Market watchers say that the Hong Kong Stock Exchange's push for required real-name registration to trade in mainland stocks may open the door to mutual access for more investment products. Above, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is seen in February 2016. Photo: IC

The Hong Kong Stock Exchange might require investors to register with their real names in order to trade stocks under the mutual-access programs that link to the Shanghai and Shenzhen bourses.

On the Chinese mainland, investors must register with their real names and identification numbers with brokerages before they can trade securities. The aim of this longtime policy is to prevent the capital market from becoming a hotbed of money laundering and other illegal and improper activities. However, in Hong Kong, investors are not required to register with real names or identities.

Market watchers see the adoption of real-name management as helping Hong Kong push for mutual access to more investment products with the mainland market. In fact, Hong Kong Exchange CEO Charles Li has repeatedly expressed a desire to expand the connect programs. For now, such mutual access includes stocks, while Hong Kong investors can also trade mainland-listed bonds. But mainland investors cannot trade Hong Kong-listed bonds, at least for now.

“As a major participant of the connect programs, the exchange is actively discussing and studying when and how to launch” real-name registration, a spokesperson for Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Ltd. told Caixin on Monday, adding that “if real-name registration is implemented, it will only apply to investors under the Stock Connect program.”

The spokesperson didn’t elaborate how far the discussion has gone and whether there is an expected timeline for an agreement.

For now, investors in Hong Kong who buy more than 5% of a company’s shares through the Stock Connect program are not required to file a disclosure, whereas such a large purchase elsewhere usually does require such a disclosure. The absence of such a Stock Connect rule sows potential risks for stock manipulation due to poor transparency, market watchers say.

The China Securities Regulatory Commission said earlier that Hong Kong investors must register trading accounts on a real-name basis before 2018, if more mutual-trading access on products such as exchange-traded funds or futures are to be opened, the Hong Kong Economic Journal reported citing unnamed sources.

During the stock market turmoil of 2015, China blamed a trading platform for allowing trust companies to open sub-accounts under their trading accounts with securities firms, essentially bypassing the supervision of real-name account trading, as the key culprits that amplified bourse volatility.

The two Stock Connect programs have attracted a total 288.67 billion yuan ($43.55 billion) of capital inflows into Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets by Tuesday since their establishment, while drawing about 498.39 billion yuan of southbound market funds into Hong Kong’s stock market.

As of Monday, the Hang Seng Index has surged 26% to 27,863.29 points in 2017.

今日头条:斯德哥尔摩世界水周今年聚焦水和垃圾-减量,再利用

北欧绿色邮报网北欧中华网报道(记者陈雪霏)– 2017斯德哥尔摩世界水周28日举行盛大开幕式,瑞典宇航员,天文学教授付格胜(Christer Fulgesang), 瑞典环境部长森林,斯德哥尔摩市长,联合国大会主席汤姆森,斯德哥尔摩水奖获得者斯蒂芬,前澳大利亚总理陆克文和东道主侯姆格林出席并发表主旨演讲。

开幕式以宇宙飞船升空的画面展开,顿时令两千多参会者为之一振。让一个宇航员从宇宙的高度来开始讲水的问题,可以说是瑞典人的广泛联系,富有创意的一种思维方式。

付格胜说,在宇宙飞船里,水资源是非常有限的资源,因此,他们利用精密仪器,对宇航员出的每一滴汗水,甚至是排除的尿都是要重新回收利用的。他们在那里中葡萄,他们在那里用特殊的方式喝水。总之,在那里的每一滴水,都是非常宝贵。

因此,他说,人们应该珍惜和平环境,努力回收利用水,这样才能满足人们的需要。

今年的水周多次谈到水资源的缺乏。确实,随着人口越来越多,地球上淡水资源却越来越少。很多人不以为然,但是,我知道,家乡以前打井30米深就是最深的了,30多年过去了,现在要打到170米深才能打出好水来。

东道主霍尔姆格林说,今年确立的主题是水和垃圾,减量,再利用。其主要目的是节约用水,减少垃圾,同时水要循环使用。这样才能保证水源不枯竭。这需要用水大户工业,农业用水都要大幅度减少才行。

瑞典环境部长森林强调水是生命之源,水是健康之本。

2017 Stockholm World Water Week has been focusing on water and waste—reduction and re-use. CRI’s Chen Xuefei has attended the opening session and has details.

Swedish astronaut Professor Christer Fuglesang made the opening remarks as the session began, noting that all water- including urine – in a spaceship is recycled and reused.

Stockholm International Water Institute Director Torgny Holmgren, host of Water Week, said the recycling practice in space described by Fuglesang perfectly illustrates this year’s theme at the conservation event.

“To advance our knowledge and learn more about managing our scarce water resources, we choose water and waste, reduce and reuse as the theme of this world water week, the theme touches the very core of our daily lives, to reduce, some drastic changes will be needed by the main water users, it could be in the industry sector, energy sector and agricultural sector…”

In that sense, Holmgren said water is not a sector, it is actually a connector of all different sectors.

Stockholm Mayor Karin Wanggard said water is a circular resource and one has to learn how to reduce harm and reuse the resource we claim from the earth.

“Access to water is the most important international issue to ensure sustainable development, peace and security. Clean water is fundamental in a health perspective and secure access to it for all people and the growing population is one of the greatest challenges for the international community.”

During the opening of World Water Week, UN General Assembly President Peter Thomson also shared his reflection on the Ocean Conference held at the United Nations in New York last June and strengthened the interconnection of UN Sustainable Development Goals related to water sanitation and ocean resources.

Thomson said everything is connected and water, environment and climate change are all interrelated.

“Thus we must have an inclusive and integrated approach and never fall back on the failing side of past status quos, we all have something to bring to the work ahead.”

More than 2000 government officials, water experts, researchers, non-governmental sectors and students will discuss issues relating to water and waste during World Water Week which began on Sunday.

The Stockholm Junior Water Prize, Stockholm Water Prize, and Stockholm Industry Water Prize will be issued during the event.

The withdrawal was completed at about 2:30pm on Monday and was confirmed by Chinese personnel onsite, according to the ministry.

China will continue to exercise its rights of sovereignty and safeguard territorial integrity in accordance with historical agreements on border demarcation, said the ministry.

The ministry reaffirmed that the Chinese government stresses friendly, good-neighborly relations with India. China wishes that India faithfully complies with historical agreements on border demarcation and the basic principles of international law, maintain peace of the border areas and promote the healthy development of bilateral relations together with China on the basis of mutual respect for territorial integrity and sovereignty.

Shortly before the confirmation from the Chinese side, India’s Ministry of External Affairs released a statement, saying both countries have “maintained diplomatic communication” on Doklam incident and agreed to “expeditious disengagement of border personnel.”

The stand-down comes days ahead of the BRICS summit in the coastal city of Xiamen in Fujian. Media reports have suggested Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to attend. However, there has been no official confirmation.

On June 18, over 270 armed Indian troops with two bulldozers crossed the boundary into Doklam to obstruct Chinese infrastructure construction.

Since then, China has repeatedly expressed its opposition to India through diplomatic channels and demanded Indian troops retreat to the Indian side of the border demarcation.

The Ministry says Chinese soldiers have taken necessary measures to safeguard China’s legitimate and lawful rights and interests.

World Water Week in Stockholm focuses on water and waste to reduce and reuse

By Xuefei Chen Axelsson

Stockholm, Aug. 28,  (Greenpost) – World leaders, water experts, development professionals, policy-makers and students have gathered in Stockholm for a week-long meeting focused on finding ways to better use, and reuse, the world’s increasingly scarce fresh water.

The opening plenary of the water week began with Swedish Astronaut Christer Fulgesang telling about his stories in the spaceship.

Fuglesang said there is a very sophosticated water reuse system in the space which can treat their urin into drinking water.  Grapes can be grown there and many advanced technologies can be used to make water use more efficiently.

During this year’s water week, people talk more about the term “water scarcity” . As more countries, and cities, experience the effects of high population pressure and less available freshwater, the interest among policy-makers, businesses, and citizens grows. The realization is there. We need to become more efficient water users. We need to make some drastic changes.

“World Water Week is a key meeting place for the water and development community; it is here that we come together and make sure that the very best ideas are brought forward,” said SIWI’s Executive Director, Torgny Holmgren.

Holmgren said water is not a sector, it is a connecter linking all sectors in our daily life.

World Water Week is the world’s biggest global annual meeting focusing on water and development. It is organized by SIWI, Stockholm International Water Institute. The Week draws over 3,000 participants from nearly 130 countries, who come to Stockholm to learn about new research results, share experiences, discuss progress in the implementation of the Global Goals, and together try to find new ways to meet the world’s growing water challenges.

The President of the United Nations General Assembly, Peter Thomson, called the world’s climate and water resources the “fundament of our existence”, and said that “Without proper stewardship of that fundament the 2030 sustainable development agenda obviously goes nowhere. Because without the fundament we can’t exist.”

“Together with the Paris Climate Agreement, implementation of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals represents the best chance our species has to achieve a sustainable way of life on Planet Earth before it is too late”, he said adding that we must take inclusive and integrated approach to involve all kinds of people and expertise together.

Sweden’s Minister for Environment, Karolina Skog said that “Sustainable and efficient management of our water and wastewater has a profound effect on all aspects of human life; economic growth, sustainable development, sustainable city planning, circular thinking in industry and in production, energy saving, good quality of our water and, last but not least, it is crucial for health and for a sustainable environment.”

Another central aspect of efficient water use, is to use less. In his welcoming speech Holmgren pointed out that it will be challenging but necessary to change large-scale water consumption patterns:

“The Week’s theme, Water and waste: Reduce and reuse, really touches the very core of our daily lives. To reduce, some drastic changes will be necessary – especially by the main water users, including industries, energy producers and the agriculture sector.”

He added that changes are also needed in how we think about reuse of water: “I think that it is very important to try and change the mind-set around waste. Rather than presenting us with a problem, we can view waste as an asset also becoming a business opportunity.”

Stephen McCaffrey, 2017 Stockholm Water Prize Laureate and a Professor in water law, spoke of the need for water cooperation and water diplomacy. He told participants that although the ingredients for potential water conflicts exist, such as higher population pressure, climate change, and much of the world’s fresh water being shared by two or more countries, studies show that water sharing is much more likely to lead to cooperation than conflict.

The grand opening plenary ends with Kevin Rudd led panel discussion on how to prioritize and financing water issue with participation of Swedish, Danish, Malaysian, World Bank, Ecuador and Ethiopian leaders.

Beginning from 1990, SIWI is a water institute, working to improve the way freshwater resources are governed. By combining its areas of expertise with its unique convening power, SIWI influences decision-makers, facilitates dialogue and builds knowledge in water issues, thereby contributing to a just, prosperous and sustainable future for all.

SIWI organizes the world’s most important annual water and development meeting, World Water Week, and it awards the Stockholm Water Prize and Stockholm Junior Water Prize.

About World Water Week: World Water Week is the largest annual meeting for water and development issues, organized by Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI). The Week brings together more than 3,000 participants from nearly 130 countries representing actors from governments, private sector, multilateral organizations, civil society and academia to shape joint solutions to global water challenges. The Week strives for equal gender participation. At this year’s Week, 46 per cent of participants are female, and 54 per cent are male.

今日头条:四名中国中学生参加斯德哥尔摩国际水周

北欧绿色邮报网北欧中华网联合报道(记者陈雪霏)–  一年一度的斯德哥尔摩国际水周又开始了。今年水周的主题是“水和垃圾,减量和再利用。”

水周期间要颁发斯德哥尔摩青少年水奖,斯德哥尔摩水奖和斯德哥尔摩工业水奖。

从左到右:朱梦可,李敏章,王泽凯和陈汇霖。

来自山东省青岛二中的李敏章,王泽凯和陈汇霖三名同学在全国比赛中以发现新型壳聚糖树脂的设计合成及其性能研究胜出,代表中国队参加斯德哥尔摩青少年水奖冠军的角逐。同时,今年斯德哥尔摩青少年水奖中还增加了一位特殊人物,唯一的一位,也是首次的一位,那就是来自徐州特殊教育学校的聋哑学生朱梦可。

  虾壳的秘密

高三学生李敏章在接受北欧绿色邮报网记者采访时说,他们三个人自发地成立了一个社团,然后,在中科院老师的帮助指导下完成的课题。“其实我们学生做的就是要开动脑筋,从生活中发现自己想要做的事情,然后写成计划,学校为我们提供帮助,与各个大学联系。”

李敏章说,他们三人是好朋友。他非常喜欢化学。原来,青岛每年的啤酒节吸引很多游客来吃海鲜。剩下大量的虾壳垃圾。他们想如果能够把虾壳回收利用起来变废为宝就好了。结果,他们在虾壳里发现了几丁质。然后,一步一步就发现了可以从污水中提取重金属的物质。

“从踏入高中校园那一刻起,老师都告诉我们学习是为了应用,使我们身边的人过得更加幸福。”

李敏章说,他要学以致用,可能要学材料化学,因为这是交叉学科,这样可以在实践中应用。

16岁的王泽凯说,青岛二中一直非常重视环境保护,每年都参加这项活动,今年首次代表国家出来参加水周。他们在国内获大奖的原因就是他们从虾皮蟹壳里提取了一种新型树脂,这种树脂的作用是可以在水中吸附重金属离子,无论生活用水和工业废水都可以,他们做的五种重金属,吸附率都达到了99.9%。还有一个特点就是可以重复利用。只要用酸洗一下,就可以去除重金属离子,然后,和原来一样继续吸附重金属离子。没有二次污染。安全稳定。在应用的时候,可以放在家庭用水的滤芯里,在工业上,也可以放到污水处理厂的污水处理过程中的重金属去除。

“到瑞典来,主要是向大家学习,看回去是否可以继续改进。我对电子和IT比较感兴趣。” 王泽凯说。

陈汇霖说,她喜欢观察事物,他们三个人各有所长,所以,可以互相帮助,取长补短。她查找资料发现虾皮蟹壳里边有一种壳聚糖,这种壳聚糖进一步激发他们发现了既有物理吸附也有化学特征的物质,可以吸收水中的重金属。

从左到右:朱树林,朱梦可,李敏章,王泽凯和陈汇霖,王昌丽。

带队的王昌丽老师说,二中每年都参加全国的科技比赛。这三个学生对此都非常感兴趣。他们初三就开始学做实验,到高中就可以很成熟地做实验了。他们对大学课本都学了。二中的学生都是全市最好的,课本知识都已经非常好了。这个项目是培养他们的爱好。这个项目将来在工业污水处理方面更有实用价值。

  聋人做环保

徐州市特殊教育学校的朱树林老师介绍,朱梦可今年22岁,他在老师的帮助下到社会上给各种人群散发环保方面的倡议书。由于他在比赛的700多个项目中脱颖而出,因此有机会一起来参加斯德哥尔摩青少年水奖活动。

该项目的特点就是聋人做环保,感动了很多人,也带动了很多人。徐州市特殊教育学校一直坚持做环保方面的宣传,保护河流。他们也参与了中美千校参与的环保活动。徐州特教学校和美国的俄勒冈的一所特殊教育学校一起合作进行环保活动。他们的活动包括三个部分,一个是发放环保倡议书,二是调查河流水质,三是植树造林。这样逐渐扩大环保队伍,吸引了很多人。经过多年的努力,徐州河流水质问题得到了政府的关注,越来越多的人加入到了水资源保护的队伍。

“这些人(聋哑人)通过自己的行动感染了很多人。” 朱老师说。

朱梦可在接受记者采访时说,他是2016年参与这个保护家乡河流的项目的。他有计划有步骤地带领同学多次发放治理河流的倡议书,发放给老人,孩子,商人,还有外国人,各个阶层都要照顾到。他每次都要做活动计划书,然后,去执行,走了很多路,活动结束以后,还要做总结发布在学校自媒体网站上。

他说,他来瑞典感觉很高兴,他用哑语说,“我爱中国”。

他告诉记者,他是在半岁的时候,生了病,高烧,不知道药的副作用太大,导致耳聋。耳聋以后,也就无法说话了。但是,他可以认读,可以用微信和电脑,没有问题。

他说: “他要用实际行动保护水资源。在广东比赛的时候,没想到能拿到特等奖,感觉很高兴。”

他今后的理想是要考上大学,继续从事环保事业。

斯德哥尔摩青少年水奖将在29日晚举行。目前,评委们正在对来自33个国家的青少年队进行考察评比。结果将在29日晚揭晓。
