Sustainable Integrated Management FOR the NEXUS of water-land-food-energy-climate for a resource-efficient Europe |
Water, land, food, energy, and climate are interconnected, comprising a coherent system (the ‘Nexus’), dominated by complexity and feedback. Putting pressure on one part of the Nexus can create pressures on the others. Management of the Nexus is critical to securing the efficient use of our scarce resources. Through the five nexus themes, SIM4NEXUS aims to predict society-wide impacts of resource use and relevant policies on sectors such as agriculture, water, biodiversity and ecosystem services through a model-based analysis.
About
|
KTH-dESA’s expertise in the analysis of nexus issues in integrated assessments using the CLEWs approach is explored further in the 48-month H2020 project “Sustainable Integrated Management FOR the NEXUS of water-land-food-energy-climate for a resource-efficient Europe” (SIM4NEXUS). The project, which started in June 2016, is coordinated by WUR – LEI and involves the collaboration of 26 partners from 15 countries.
