Multi-scale, Multi-Region, and Multi-Actor Interactions for Sustainability and Resilience in the Food-Energy-Water Nexus
Session ID#: 80748
Session Description:
Climate change, economic forces, and social conditions are rapidly evolving, and competing needs for natural resources beget challenges for the sustainability and resilience of food-energy-water (FEW) systems. Many challenges result from the imperfect overlap of the natural resources across natural and engineered systems. Such mismatches can increase demand for land and water, and stress ecosystem resilience under intensive management and environmental change. Other challenges result from differences and nesting of scales. For example, water is used for agricultural irrigation, fossil energy production, and power plant cooling, with downstream effects on ecosystems and the quantity and quality of available water (e.g., nutrient runoff, thermal loading in streams). Institutional and political boundaries often do not align with resource productions, which complicates their governance. This session welcomes contributions that address multi-scale, multi-region, and multi-actor issues for sustainability and resilience in the FEW nexus, with particular interest in those that involve stakeholder engagement.
