Session at DNC 2017 // New and refined approaches supporting the implementation of a Nexus Approach

The need for and the (potential) benefits of implementing integrated resources management seems rather straightforward from a scientific perspective, but implementation remains challenging. Among the many aspects of this science-policy divide, this session will particularly consider approaches and platforms for stakeholder involvement, including ICT and visualization tools, but also governance arrangements.

Session at the Dresden Nexus Conference 2017 "SDGs and Nexus Approach - Monitoring and Implementation", 17-19 May 2017 While aspects of monitoring and implementation of a nexus approach are supposed to be addressed in all sessions of DNC 2017, this session is explicitly dealing with methodological and institutional aspects of implementation of nexus governance.

Objectives and expected outcome

The session aims at: (1) defining data and data gaps in the resources nexus in support of integrative modeling tools, (2) showcase and explore models and model structure to help understand the interlinkages between environmental resources.

Target audience

Scientists and policy makers involved in understanding and managing primary resources
