The overall argument is that population growth and economic growth 'put significant pressure on energy, water and food demands with growing trade-offs among these three development goals; and will accelerate ecosystem degradation' (The Water Energy and Food Security Resource Platform 2012).…”

The recent shift from the Millennium Development Goals to the much broader Sustainable Development Goals has given further impetus to the debate on the nexus between the multiple sectors of policy-making that the Goals are to cover. The key message in this debate is that different domains-for instance, water, energy and food-are interconnected and can thus not be effectively resolved unless they are addressed as being fully interrelated and interdependent. Yet while this overall narrative is forcefully supported in the new UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals that are the main part of this agenda, many Goals still remain sectoral in their basic outlook. This now requires, we argue, a new focus in both policy and research on the nexus between different Sustainable Development Goals, especially with a view to reforms in the overall institutional setting that is required to sufficiently support such a nexus approach. This article thus examines the nexus approach in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals and identifies multiple avenues for its institutionalisation in global governance.

“…Drawing on such findings, policy-makers are often advised to consider special measures that avoid such trade-offs and instead produce cross-sectoral benefits (see, e.g. Hoff 2011;Scott et al 2011;Hermann et al 2012;Weitz et al 2014).…”

“…Bazillian et al (2011) proposed an integrated climate-land-energy-water modeling framework, Climate, Land-use, Energy and Water Systems (CLEWS), which has been applied to case studies of Burkina Faso (Hermann et al 2012) and Mauritius (Howells et al 2013). The CLEWS framework integrates water (WEAP), energy (LEAP) and land use (Agro-Ecological Zoning) activities within an Bexternally linked^structure (Welsch et al 2014;Howells et al 2013).…”

This paper is among the first to report on the full integration of basin-scale models that include projections of the demand and supply of water and energy for residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural sector users. We link two widely used regional planning models that allow one to study the impact of rising climate variability on water and electricity use in Sacramento, California. Historic data combined with the current energy and water system configuration was used to assess the implications of changes in temperature and precipitation. Climate simulations suggest that electricity imports to the region would increase during hot dry spells, when regional power production is most constrained. In particular, regional imports of electricity would increase over 35 % in hot dry years, assuming a 4°C increase in average temperature and a 25 % decrease in average precipitation.Climatic Change

“…Moreover, recent studies mostly focus on analyzing the two-sector linkages within the WEF systems, and thereby capture only a limited range of the complex WEF interconnections. It should be noted that the climate, land, energy, and water (CLEW) tool presents a framework for integrated modeling and quantifications for multiple sustainable systems, and was applied for assessing resource interlinkages in developing economies [105,106]. The CLEW tracks resources and technologies required for achieving certain development goals, and overcomes the inherent limits of single-sector modeling tools, such as the long-range energy alternatives planning system (LEAP) for energy policy analysis and the water evaluation and planning system (WEAP) for water resource assessment [107].…”

Quantifying the Water-Energy-Food Nexus: Current Status and Trends

et al. 2016

Water, energy, and food are lifelines for modern societies. The continuously rising world population, growing desires for higher living standards, and inextricable links among the three sectors make the water-energy-food (WEF) nexus a vibrant research pursuit. For the integrated delivery of WEF systems, quantifying WEF connections helps understand synergies and trade-offs across the water, energy, and food sectors, and thus is a critical initial step toward integrated WEF nexus modeling and management. However, current WEF interconnection quantifications encounter methodological hurdles. Also, existing calculation results are scattered across a wide collection of studies in multiple disciplines, which increases data collection and interpretation difficulties. To advance robust WEF nexus quantifications and further contribute to integrated WEF systems modeling and management, this study: (i) summarizes the estimate results to date on WEF interconnections; (ii) analyzes methodological and practical challenges associated with WEF interconnection calculations; and (iii) points out opportunities for enabling robust WEF nexus quantifications in the future.
