Energy Modelling and The Water-Energy-Food Nexus Conundrum
The focus group "Energy Modelling and The Water-Energy-Food Nexus Conundrum", organized by MAGIC, is part of the EMP-E conference 2018 'Modelling Clean Energy Pathways' that will take place on September 25-26th, 2018 in Brussels. This focus group aims at placing energy modelling in a broader context, by linking energy to other elements of the resource nexus and moving beyond energy policy to the broader sustainable development goals. It focuses on the discussion of novel (unorthodox) methodological frameworks and models that consider the resource nexus across scales and dimensions, their challenges, and their potential to enrich modelling capacity for policy-making.
Topics of discussion include the impact of outsourcing (externalization) of production processes (food, manufacturing) on carbon emissions; the extent to which energy models can inform resource nexus policy making; challenges and potentialities of quantitative representations and models of the resource nexus.
