People need water, energy, and food to sustain their livelihoods, grow economies, and achieve sustainable development. The interactions between these resource sectors form the crux of water-energy-food (WEF) nexus assessments. This study analyses the WEF nexus of 54 African nations and identifies bottlenecks resulting from water, energy, or food insecurity.
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 toolkit presents a glossary and a list of useful resources on the water-energy-food nexus.
The Global Innovation Hub aims to promote transformative innovations for a low-emission and climate-resilient future.
Institutions all over the world are setting up microcredentials in responses to calls from governments and industry: short courses, usually offered online by accredited institutions, with an emphasis on the needs of the workplace. They are also often used for retraining and upskilling. This book explains how to start offering microcredentials as an academic institution.
This guide aims to accelerate the flexibility and responsiveness of learning systems by providing guidance on the design, issue and recognition of micro-credentials.
This is a training module on the nexus between renewable energy and water management.
This report considers the challenges faced by developers implementing renewable energy projects in the SADC region, analyzes existing prefeasibility or early-stage project preparation funds in the region and globally to assess if they effectively support project developers, and provides recommendations on how to improve and scale up these facilities.
This slide deck provides a quick overview of the required steps in developing a concept for a renewable energy project.
