4. A miracle in Kamaishi City
1,000 people died out of a population of 40,000 by
Tsunami in March 11, 2012 In Kamaishi City
Only 5 out of the 2,900 primary and junior high
school students lost their lives.
A casualty rate of 0.17 % is 1/15 of the rate for the
general public (2.5%, (55% in tsunami in 1896))

5. A miracle and a tragedy in 3.11 Tsunami
 Strong awareness that
tsunami may come at any
moment
 Students and teachers
have cooperated for
creating hazard maps
 Community working with
schools to be prepared
for tsunami (drills, etc.)
 Lack of understanding
that tsunami may reach
the school
 Children were kept in
school while teachers
discussed what to do
 The school was not in a
flood zone in community

A miracle in schools of
Kamaishi City
Casualty rate: 0.17%
A tragedy in a school in a

Casualty rate: 70%
Pre-disaster IWRM (IFM) process was
decisive element in the miracle

Our Lesson

8. GWP in Action
2009-2011

9. Events affecting our water in 2009-2013
1. Recurrent Water Challenges
 Still lack of access to water and sanitation
Mega Flooding, Tsunami and other water-related
Disasters (Floods in Pakistan, Thailand, China, US,
Caribbean, India, etc. Tsunami in Japan, Drought
in Africa, Australia, U.S., etc.)
Regional and national water disputes/conflicts
2. Social crisis affecting water
Economic boom and debacle
Food and Energy Crisis
Increasing urban problems

10. Events affecting our water in 2009-2013
3. Global water/non-water discussion dictating our
future
Climate Change Dialogue Process (COP, etc.)
Rio+20 and Post-2015 Agenda
UN and other resolutions (UN-GA human right for
water and sanitation, UN 5 Year Drive of
Sustainable Sanitation, International Year of
Water Cooperation, UN World Toilet Day…)
 Globalization of water issues have happened
 New lessons and challenges have been learnt

11. 11
1. Have we grown?
2. Have we seen satisfactory
advancement of IWRM?
3. Have we responded to emerging water
challenges fast enough?
4. Have we had enough money and will
we ?

Key Questions

33. What to do next?
- Towards Next Strategy -

34. What will you do collectively/individually
in the next strategic period?
Starting from better status of IWRM;
with increased number of GWP Partners;
with established recognition of GWP and
IWRM;
based on your achievement in the Region/
Country;
equipped with extensive knowledge chains
and available technology; and
with closer ties with your partners and
friends in the Region/Country

35. Wake up call
IWRM still does not have secure
position in Post-2015 Agenda
- Do not assume that IWRM is given -

36. Goal 1: End Poverty
 Build resilience and reduce deaths from natural disasters
by x%
Goal6:Achieve Universal Access to Water & Sanitation
 Provide universal access to safe drinking water at home,
and in schools, health centers, and refugee camps
 End open defecation and ensure universal access to
sanitation at school and work, and increase access to
sanitation at home by x%
 Bring freshwater withdrawals in line with supply and
increase water efficiency in agriculture by x%, industry
by y% and urban areas by z%
 Recycle or treat all municipal and industrial wastewater
prior to discharge
Post-2015 Target on Water proposed by HLP

37. Including “Universal Access to Benefit
of IWRM” in Post-2015 Water Target
 National/Basin Plans of IWRM
 Implementation & monitoring mechanism of the Plans
 Governance Structure of IWRM
 Resources Arrangement for IWRM to happen
 Assurance of people’s participation in the IWRM Process
 Coverage of IWRM Plans in Countries and Basins
 Legal/administrative framework for IWRM
 Implementation mechanism and structure
 Resource arrangement by Countries
 Number of people which are covered by the above
“Universal Access”

39. Epilogue: Cooperation to plant cherry
blossom trees along the tsunami footprint
• Activities to plant cherry blossom trees along the
border line which the 3.11 tsunami reached
• An attempt by community to remind local people of
tsunami for years to come
People’s efforts to turn lessons into better water
cooperation continue not to repeat the tragedy

41. Progress of Climate Change Convention
• 2009 — COP15 in Copenhagen
Copenhagen Accord was taken note by the COP. Countries submitted
pledges on emissions reductions or mitigation action, all non-binding.
• 2010 — COP16 in Cancun
Cancun Agreements, a set of significant decisions to address the long-
term challenge of climate change collectively and comprehensively,
was largely accepted by the COP.
• 2011 — COP 17 in Durban
The Durban Platform for Enhanced Action was accepted by the COP to
deliver a universal greenhouse gas reduction protocol, legal
instrument, etc. for the period beyond 2020.
• 2012 — COP18 / CMP8 in Doha
Timetable for the 2015 global climate change agreement and
increasing ambition before 2020 was agreed. The Doha Amendment
to the Kyoto Protocol was adopted by the CMP at CMP8.
