Priorities and funded actions

Objectives

Integrate Nexus considerations into public and business decision making at different governance levels through innovative toolboxes and guidelines supporting policymakers and practitioners in the implementation of adaptation strategies
Increase resilience to climate change, ensuring good quantitative and qualitative status of water, sustainable agriculture, food and energy production, and healthy ecosystems
Increase the socio-economic livelihood conditions of vulnerable populations
Share best Nexus practices across disciplinary silos in a context of combined natural, economic and social systems

Priorities

Priority 1 – Early identification of causal connections between socio-economic impacts and measures to build local resilience of WEFE resource management.

Priority 2 – Nexus demonstration cases as socio-innovative adaptation experiments in different contexts.

Priority 3 – Identification of WEFE production and consumption structures’ impacts on the life-supporting abilities and local communities’ social and economic performance under climate change and demographic constraints.

Among financed actions

Address the interplay of impacts, for example, of disruption of regional and international trade flows of food crops, on people’s displacement
Explore the associations between the trading of crop products and local usages of water, energy, ecosystem resources under different scenarios
Translate outcomes into WEFE resource-related indicators to monitor these strategies’ qualitative and quantitative impacts and provide hints for possible futures
Enable feedback to decision-makers to develop Nexus policies and strategies, ensuring a long-lasting adaptation capacity of potentially vulnerable populations
