This policy brief responds to the pressing demand for harmonising the imperatives of a Just Energy Transition (JET) with the intricate dynamics of the Water-Energy-Food (WEF) Nexus in the context of South Africa’s broader sustainable development imperatives.
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.
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 is a training module on the nexus between renewable energy and water management.
This paper underscores the need for sustainable utilities to deliver the energy transition in lower- and middle-income countries, and provides recommendations to governments and other stakeholders.
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.
This page explores the best practice regulatory, fiscal and economic instruments available today to encourage a more efficient/electric vehicle stock.
This study assesses the landscape of standards for renewable energy technologies and identifies gaps, with a focus on international standardisation.
This brief explains the potential of energy performance standards and appliance labels to advance energy efficiency in the Global South.
