Bonn2011 Nexus Conference // Messages from the Bonn2011 Nexus Conference
On November 16-18, 2011, more than 550 people gathered in Bonn, Germany, to explore a visionary method of achieving sustainability through a groundbreaking conference called "The Water, Energy and Food Security Nexus — Solutions for the Green Economy". Out of this conference the document "Messages from the Bonn2011 Conference: The Water, Energy and Food Security Nexus – Solutions for a Green Economy" developed, which summarizes main principles and action needed in order to implement the WEF Nexus approach.
Concerns about limited access to water, sanitation, energy and food — often primarily a consequence of inappropriate governance structures and poor management - and thus inequalities in distribution — are compounded by growing concerns about their future availability and sustainability.
