Research Article // Looking at the Water-Energy-Food nexus through the lens of Ecosystem Services: a new perspective
By Beatrice Sambo and colleagues. This perspective paper argues that a truly integrated nexus approach necessitates placing ecosystem services at the center of the WEF nexus framework.
Introduction
This perspective paper argues that a truly integrated nexus approach necessitates placing ecosystem services (ES) at the center of the WEF nexus framework. It begins by defining ESs and discussing their role within this nexus. Subsequently, it illustrates how implementing nexus thinking could be enhanced and operationalized by incorporating an ESs-based perspective. Finally, it provides recommendations for future steps to foster this integration.
