As the international community observed the UN World Water Day, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan were part of important talks at UN Headquarters in New York concerning water-sharing. These talks bring attention to a broader nexus of water, climate and energy security in Central Asia that is worth watching closely by both regional leaders and the international community.

This video, by the IUCN is a part of the Nexus Interview Series, centres around the question “What does the Water-Energy-Food Security Nexus mean to you?”

This film by the ELD Initiative depicts the value of productive land in provision of ecosystem services and goes on to show the current rapid depletion of this valuable non-renewable resource, which costs us dearly.

“The Foreseer tool visualises linked energy, water and land resource futures by outputting a set of Sankey diagrams for energy, water and land, showing the flow from basic resource (e.g. coal, surface water, and forested land) through transformations (e.g. fuel refining and desalination) to final services (e.g. sustenance, hygiene and transportation).”

Increased water, energy and food demands are disrupting economies, governments, and environments around the world. These complex challenges call for integrated analyses and innovative solutions. “Research teams from the Woodrow Wilson Center and Circle of Blue are reporting from the United States, China, Australia, India, and other frontlines of the world’s water-food-energy crisis.”
