Project / Programme Executive Summary (max 300 words) Please provide a brief description of the proposed project/programme, including the objectives and primary measurable benefits (see investment criteria in section E). The detailed description can be elaborated in section C. The “Water Sector Resilience Nexus for Sustainability in Barbados (WSRN S-Barbados)” project will result in a paradigm shift that makes the Barbados society aware of the water cycle and climate change impacts threatening the island’s drinking water supply, create resilience to severe weather impacts, reduce greenhouse gas emission, reduce consumption, promote appropriate uses of diverse water sources and legislations to support climate smart development and water sector resilience. This will be achieved by employing renewable energy technology, creating a Revolving Adaptation Funding Facility (RAFF), decentralising water storage, increasing rainwater harvesting, building technical capacity, helping to shape policies and legislations related to climate change, raising greater awareness about climate variability and change and providing a platform of knowledge and resources to support further climate change adaptation in the Caribbean. The main objectives of the projects are to: 1. build greater resilience to extreme storm events and drought conditions by utilizing cleaner energy sources, decentralising water storage, promote rainwater harvesting at the household and community level, and improve the efficiency with which rainwater runoff replenish aquifers in Barbados. 2. further advance adaptation and mitigation initiatives in the water sector of Barbados by redirecting and mobilising local funds through a revolving adaptation fund. 3. reduce the greenhouse gas emissions intensity of water provision by integrating renewable energy with back-up natural gas turbines and sustainable Water Loss Reduction (WLR) initiatives. 4. contribute to capacity building via knowledge sharing and lessons learnt platforms within communities, educational organizations, private sector, civil society, BWA and the Government of Barbados to manage and monitor water resources. 5. support the review and development of a legislative framework to supports climate smart development and water sector resilience. 6. collate and disseminate lessons learnt for use in developing further adaptation and mitigation initiatives and raising public awareness about climate change, water conservation, recycle and reuse, the revolving adaptation fund, Green Climate Fund and in general this project. The project will produce four main outcomes: (1) improved/increased resilience to storm events and BWA’s carbon footprint reduced; (2) adaptation and mitigation initiatives expanded through a revolving fund; (3) improved resilience to climate change and disruptions in water supply; and, (4) increased capacity building, public-private-partnerships (PPP) and innovation for climate resilience in the water sector of Barbados. The resulting impacts of this project are: 1. reduced greenhouse gas emissions and the intensity of greenhouse gas emissions in the provision of water. 2. increased adaptation and mitigation actions by households and communities. 3. swift and immediate adaptation and mitigation actions by mobilising localised funds for climate action. 4. more reliable availability of potable water to the public (improved water and food security). 5. increased use of lessons learnt and climate information by communities, educational organizations, private sector, civil society, BWA and the Government of Barbados for sustainable solutions to climate change. 6. improved legislative environment that supports climate smart development and water sector resilience. 7. greater awareness about the effects of climate variability and change by the population of Barbados and the wider Caribbean. 8. scalable and replicable in other Caribbean Countries. The major beneficiaries are the population of Barbados, which in 2016 was estimated by World bank at 284,215. A.3. Project/Programme Milestone Expected approval from accredited entity’s Board (if applicable) 31/01/2018 Expected financial close (if applicable) dd/mm/yyyy Estimated implementation start and end date Start: 01/09/2018 End: 31/12/2023 Project/programme lifespan 5 years 3 months. FINANCING / COST INFORMATION GREEN CLIMATE FUND FUNDING PROPOSAL | PAGE 3 OF 90 B B.1. Description of Financial Elements of the Project / Programme Please provide: • an integrated financial model in Section I (Annexes) that includes a projection covering the period from financial closing through final maturity of the proposed GCF financing with detailed assumptions and rationale; and a sensitivity analysis of critical elements of the project/programme The financial model will be represented in Section 1(Annex) in excel. The financial analysis uses BWA current financial position, operating revenue and cost, as the baseline. Several parameters are considered including: population growth in Barbados, discount rate, inflation rate, water tariff,
