About this event
Water, food, and energy are deeply interconnected, forming the Water-Food-Energy Nexus—a delicate balance that underpins global sustainability, economic stability, and human well-being. Water is essential for food production, from irrigation systems to livestock farming, while energy is required to pump, transport, and treat water for agricultural and human use. At the same time, water is a key component in energy generation, from hydropower to cooling systems in thermal power plants. When one element of this nexus is disrupted—whether by climate change, policy shifts, or resource mismanagement—the consequences ripple across all three sectors, affecting food security, energy availability, and economic resilience. This episode delves into these intricate relationships, highlighting the challenges of managing competing demands and exploring innovative solutions that can create a more resilient and sustainable future for all.
