WATER ENERGY FOOD AND PEOPLE ACROSS THE GLOBAL ...

This collection critically engages the resource use nexus. Clearly  a nexus-approach to
resource policy  planning and practice is essential if sustainable development goals are to be
met. In particular  in an era of climate change  an integrated approach to water  energy and
agriculture is imperative. Agriculture accounts for 70% of global water withdrawals  food
production accounts for 30% of global energy use and a rising global population requires more
of everything. As shown in this collection  scholars of resource development  governance and
management are 'nexus sensitive'  utilizing a sort of 'nexus sensibility' in their work as it
focuses on the needs of people particularly  but not only  in the global South. Importantly  a
nexus-approach presents academics and practitioners with a discursive space in which to shape
policy through research  to deepen and improve understandings of the interconnections and
impacts of particular types of resource use  and to critically reflect on actions taken in the
name of the 'nexus'.
