REFLECTIONS ON WEFE NEXUS (FROM JRC REPORT)
• WEFE Nexus integrates management and governance across the multiple sectors of food, energy, water, and ecosystems.
• Realisation of the interconnectedness between Water, Energy, Food Security, and Ecosystems.
• Nexus originally addressed the energy-water-food security (WEF) Nexus, but ecosystems are increasingly recognised as important for sustainability.
• A step beyond single sector planning towards a more holistic approach to planning.
• Strong and binding coordination mechanism (Nexus Policy Dialogues).
