About
During the Bonn2011 Nexus Conference, twelve “Nexus Solutions in Practice” sessions demonstrated how a Nexus perspective is already being applied through a series of practical solutions from around the world and at different levels of application. These sessions brought the Nexus to life, helped to keep the conference discussions on a practical level and inspired conference participants to move to concrete action following the conference.
On the Water, Energy & Food Security NEXUS Resource Platform, the collection of practical solutions has become a major section. New best practice examples will be included.
