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 calls for greater cross-sectoral collaboration to advance energy, water and food security in Africa, highlighting how synergies between the sectors of water, energy and food create a multiplier effect, ensuring a greater return of investment.
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 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.
