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.

“…With energy use for urban water rapidly growing in Australia (Hall et al, 2011), improved understanding of water-related energy use helps find cost-effective solutions to reduce or offset this growth (Rothhausen and Conway, 2011). In 2007, water-related energy use in Australian cities accounted for 13% of total electricity use, plus 18% of natural gas energy use (Kenway, 2011).…”

“…Consequently, a clear dichotomy between adaptation and mitigation remains. Furthermore, Rothausen and Conway (2011) point to a preference for peer-reviewed studies of water and energy that focus on 'water for energy' (e.g. hydroelectric power) as opposed to 'energy for water ' (e.g.…”

Presenting Triple-Wins? Assessing Projects That Deliver Adaptation, Mitigation and Development Co-benefits in Rural Sub-Saharan Africa

The concept of climate compatible development (CCD) is increasingly employed by donors and policy makers seeking 'triple-wins' for development, adaptation and mitigation. While CCD rhetoric is becoming more widespread, analyses drawing on empirical cases that present triple-wins are sorely lacking. We address this knowledge gap. Drawing on examples in rural sub-Saharan Africa, we provide the first glimpse into how projects that demonstrate triple-win potential are framed and presented within the scientific literature. We identify that development projects are still commonly evaluated in terms of adaptation or mitigation benefits. Few are framed according to their benefits across all three dimensions. Consequently, where triple-wins are occurring, they are likely to be under-reported. This has important implications, which underestimates the co-benefits that projects can deliver. A more robust academic evidence base for the delivery of triple-wins is necessary to encourage continued donor investment in activities offering the potential to deliver CCD.
