Technical assessments

Water focus

Material and resource flows

Current Research Focus

Global and national scales

Research needs WEF-Nexus

Knowledge needs regarding the role of renewable energies in the nexus context

Limited literature that focuses on all three sectors of the nexus from a social science angle

Need to focus on local level, applying local solutions and decentralised approaches, as well as the inclusion of social aspects and development of people centred approaches

How to operationalize the WEF Nexus? Nexus assessment approach to assess future developments

Mapping the links between the water, food and energy sector based on a qualitative analysis 1.

2. Identifying critical links together with local stakeholders

3. Developing scenario narratives and quantifying the links

4. Develop solutions together with local stakeholders and leverage the results to e.g. improve project designs, support decision-making, give policy recommendations
