Session at the Adaptation Futures 2018 Conference // The Climate-Water-Energy-Land-Food Nexus: Security into Practice
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.
The session will explore how to capture, and increase the potential to realise, co-benefits across societal objectives represented by the SDGs, and how to avoid trade-offs that may compromise sustainable futures.

The session will be organised by the
- Climate Service Center Germany (GERICS), representing the ERA4CS project CLISWELN, together with the
