WATER-ENERGY-FOOD-ECOSYSTEMS (WEFE) NEXUS TO INCREASE FOOD SYSTEMS' RESILIENCE TO CLIMATE CHANGE AND CONFLICT'S CASCADING EFFECTS IN THE MEDITERRANEAN REGION

 In the framework of the SFS-MED platform, a on webinar  Water-energy-food-ecosystems (WEFE) nexus was organised on 6 July 2022. The event aimed to bring together stakeholders from across the Mediterranean to share practical experiences of their engagement in adopting WEFE Nexus solutions and demonstrate the more comprehensive socio-economic benefits of their proposed practices on the food system at large, going beyond a fragmented system of sectors and players. Stakeholders  shared case studies and tangible examples of WEFE Nexus technical solutions applied in the Mediterranean region, with emphasis on the MENA, reflect on success factors and challenges, and discuss ways to facilitate replication and upscaling solutions across the Mediterranean, and influence policy change. Particular focus was  given to the participation of stakeholders involved in WEFE Nexus demonstration sites.
