Nexus in Asia // Introduction: Water-Energy-Food Nexus in the Asia-Pacific Region

By Makoto Taniguchia, Aiko Endo, Jason J. Gurdak and Peter Swarzenski. While many papers claim the fundamental importance of the Nexus approach, few provide specific ideas on how to deal with this Nexus in practice. This paper introduces twenty case-studies that are highlighted in this special issue that explore the practice of the Nexus and its scientific basis with particular focus on the Water-Energy-Food Nexus in the Asia-Pacific Region.
