Implementing the Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystems Nexus and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals

2021

This document aims to outline the importance and advantages of the WEFE Nexus as an approach and methodology in EU development cooperation aimed at integrating governance and management across water, energy, and food security while attempting to balance different uses of ecosystem resources and services. The document makes special reference to the EU policy framework for development cooperation, particularly the “New European Consensus on Development”, to the relevant SDGs, as well as to the main conclusions of the WEFE Nexus specific workshop held in Brussels 25-26 January 2018 and jointly organised by JRC and DEVCO. This workshop was oriented towards implementing and operationalising the Nexus approach with the objective of improving the sustainability of the intervention projects and programmes involving water–energy–food security based on the experience of the NEXUS experts who attended the workshop. The reader will be able to see the evaluation of the implementation of NEXUS practices in a variety of projects and regions.
