Programme / Water-Energy-Food Nexus for Sustainable Development

The water–energy–food nexus constitutes a framework for analyzing the dynamic interactions between water, energy and food systems and developing strategies for sustainable development. This session will underscore the interconnectedness of water, energy, food security, and climate change, highlighting the urgency of integrated solutions for a more sustainable and resilient future.

Key focus areas include earth observations and advanced technologies for water and energy efficiency, sustainable agricultural practices that conserve water while enhancing food security, and cross-sector strategies to reduce carbon footprints. By exploring these interconnections, the session aims to foster a holistic understanding of global sustainability challenges.

This session targets policymakers, industry leaders, environmental advocates, researchers, and community stakeholders, aiming to inspire collaborative efforts and actionable solutions. Participants will engage in multidisciplinary discussions spanning technological innovations, policy frameworks, and community-driven strategies.

Expected outcomes include the development of actionable strategies for various domains, formation of cross-sector partnerships, and heightened global awareness of the nexus approach. Ultimately, the session will contribute to advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly those focused on clean water, affordable energy, sustainable cities, and climate action.

Attendees will gain valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities within the water-energy-food nexus, becoming part of a global movement toward sustainability. Together, we can pave the way for transformative solutions.
