Optimising the Water, Energy, Food, Ecosystem Nexus in the mediterranean basin and beyond

Group description

The tight interconnected nexus between the Water, Energy, Food and Ecosystem (WEFE) components clearly highlight the need for a joint planning in terms of international cooperation, in order to meet global challenges and achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

A recent position paper published in 2019 by the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission, stressed the relevance of the WEFE Nexus to policymakers and industry at the European level, requiring collaborative efforts across sectors through transparent and accountable decision-making, involving civil society in order to successfully move towards a sustainable development that takes into account the Nexus approach.

The projects in this group focus on the WEFE Nexus environment, both from the PRIMA Program and the wider Horizon 2020 landscape, expanding the geographical scope also beyond the Mediterranean region.

The projects offer relevant exploitable results, such as:

  • Methodologies and procedures for WEFE collaboration
  • Training materials on WEFE nexus
  • Provision of a collaborative Multi Stakeholders User Platform
  • Implementation of ecosystems indicators in the WEFE context
     

Our role
