Data and knowledge supporting decision-making for the urban Food-Water-Energy nexus

Abstract

Cities are hubs of innovation and wealth creation, and magnets for an increasing urban population. Cities also face unprecedented challenges in terms of food, water and energy scarcity, and governance and management. Urban environmental issues are no longer problems for experts to address but have become issues of public debate, in which knowledge from multiple sectors is needed to support inclusive governance approaches. Consequently, this chapter presents a knowledge platform to support policymakers, programme officers, field staff and others to help integrate Food-Water-Energy nexus considerations and goals into policy formulation and implementation for cities. In this context, this chapter begins with a qualitative literature review of the nexus concept. This is interpreted broadly in order to consider as wide a range of potential practices and processes as possible. Recommendations are presented for research and development, testing and implementation, as well as knowledge and communication. From this, findings and recommendations are synthesised into an appropriate framework to enable the Food-Water-Energy nexus, and these are provided at the end of this chapter. This chapter can serve as a useful reference for those working on policy and planning related to the Food-Water-Energy nexus at the urban level for regions worldwide.
