Conventionally-reticulated sanitation requires high investment costs and substantial access to energy and water to operate its systems. Against the challenges of water security, availability, climate variability, rising energy costs and growing concerns of new and emerging pathogens, the questions posed are whether this model can be sustainable into the future. At this time, global utilities and governments are increasing their efforts to meet the SDG goals. In regards to sanitation, they will...

The High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF) is convened in New York on 9-18 July 2018. The HLPF is the principal UN body mandated to review implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The 2nd FOWARIM Summer School will take place in Malta from 2 to 6 July 2018 at the premises of MCAST, the Malta College of Arts, Science and Technology. Come to debate the topic of circular economy in the water and agriculture sectors with a panel of international teachers, together with students, researchers and workers. 5 days of lessons, 2 field visits, networking lunchs and coffee breaks. Mixed activities and practices, including the creation of a business model with the LEGO SERIOUS PLAY...

The conference is aiming to bring together scientists dealing with challenges encountered throughout the entire water cycle. The conference focuses on efficient water systems giving insights on the Water-Food-Energy Nexus. Scientists will address and discuss issues related to hydraulics, hydrology, water resources systems management, climate change and environmental systems.

With a rising demand for food, fodder, fiber and bio-energy, the agricultural sector faces fierce competition with households and industry over increasingly scarce water resources. Moreover, for many countries, prospects on improving water availability under changing climatic conditions remain bleak as both droughts and flood hazards are expected to increase. Given the importance of water needs for the sustainable development of the agricultural sector and related food security, calls for a...

The workshop is organised in the context of the project BRIDGE: Building Resilience In a Dynamic Global Economy: Complexity across scales in the Brazilian Food-Water-Energy Nexus.

The focus of the First Palestine International Water Forum is to present real-world experiences in IWRM, to discuss "lessons learnt" and explore innovative perspectives beyond current IWRM practices. The Water-Energy-Food Nexus is one of the topics of the event.

The objective of this launch workshop to get inputs and views from authorities and key stakeholders, in order to confirm the scope and detail the components of the follow up project, for which the Italian Ministry has granted funding to support Drina countries in further strengthening transboundary cooperation in areas highlighted in the nexus assessment.

This course aims to familiarise participants with the ideas of the water-energy-food nexus and transdisciplinary thinking. Participants will learn to see their community or country as a complex social-ecological system and to describe its water, energy and food metabolism in the form of a pattern, as well as to map the categories of social actors.

The topic of the session is the Nexus and its implications for water, energy and food security under climate change at different scales: city, landscape, river basin, region, country. This topic is approached with a dual focus designed (i) to integrate the latest scientific developments and perspectives, including climate services, and (ii) to characterize their implementation challenges in a diversity of exemplary cases.
