Multi-scale Water-Energy-Food Nexus under the Environmental, Socio-Economic and Climate Changes

Session ID#: 78042

Session Description:
Water, energy, and food (WEF) are fundamental resources for human beings and sustainable society, and these resources are interlinked each other. The WEF nexus is the key for the sustainability under the conditions of limited land and global environmental changes, beyond the boundaries of the WEF sheds as well as trans-spatially through the food and energy trades. Integrated management and governance of the WEF nexus is necessary by increasing synergies and reducing tradeoffs among the WEF nexus, economy-society-environment, as well as local-national-global scale. This session encourages contributions focusing on water-energy-food nexus under the global environmental changes. Focal points are the realistic characterization of the tradeoff and synergy of the nexus. Possible topics include, but are not limited to nexus models, interlinkage databases of the nexus, scenario developments for the nexus managements, and assessments of the environmental and economic impacts of the nexus.
