This report provides an overview of the water-energy-food nexus in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), identifying the main challenges and opportunities for achieving water, energy and food security in the region.
This report analyses linkages in the water-energy-food-ecosystem nexus – essentially resource management trade-offs and synergies — in transboundary river basin settings. It draws on 36 nexus case studies from transboundary river basins in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas, providing lessons for transboundary management and cooperation.
This report highlights the economic, social and environmental benefits that energy and transport sector-coupling and a transition towards EV- and RE-based, efficient systems can create in small island settings, and provides tools for the planning of such a transition.
