Abstract

Integrating water, energy, and food (WEF) systems can generate synergies and help Eastern Mediterranean countries solve climate change-related concerns. The WEF nexus strategy provides a comprehensive and integrated approach to solving the issues faced by climate change and a roadmap toward sustainable water, energy, and food systems. The significance of understanding the WEF nexus in the context of climate change cannot be emphasized, and further study and implementation are required to reach its full potential. In this study, we investigated the available options for decision-makers to combat climate change; for example, renewable energy is seen as a critical component for assisting the water, energy, and food sectors in addressing the issues faced by climate change. Renewable energy may supply clean, dependable, and sustainable electricity for water treatment and distribution systems, agricultural and food processing enterprises, and energy-intensive businesses. In addition, for the region’s sustainable development, cooperation between Eastern Mediterranean countries in addressing the issues of climate change and the WEF nexus is crucial. Promoting cross-border commerce and establishing regional frameworks and initiatives can play a vital role in tackling these difficulties and assuring the region’s sustainable future.
应对东地中海气候变化的水-能源-粮食纽带
整合水、能源和粮食(WEF)系统可以产生协同效应,帮助东地中海国家解决与气候变化有关的问题。世界经济论坛的nexus战略为解决气候变化所面临的问题提供了全面和综合的方法,并为实现可持续的水、能源和粮食系统提供了路线图。理解世界经济论坛在气候变化背景下的联系的重要性再怎么强调也不为过,需要进一步研究和实施,以充分发挥其潜力。在这项研究中,我们调查了决策者应对气候变化的可用选项;例如,可再生能源被视为协助水、能源和粮食部门解决气候变化问题的关键组成部分。可再生能源可以为水处理和分配系统、农业和食品加工企业以及能源密集型企业提供清洁、可靠和可持续的电力。此外,为了该区域的可持续发展,东地中海国家在处理气候变化问题和世界经济论坛联系方面的合作至关重要。促进跨境贸易和建立区域框架和倡议可以在解决这些困难和确保区域可持续未来方面发挥至关重要的作用。

期刊介绍: Air, Soil & Water Research is an open access, peer reviewed international journal covering all areas of research into soil, air and water. The journal looks at each aspect individually, as well as how they interact, with each other and different components of the environment. This includes properties (including physical, chemical, biochemical and biological), analysis, microbiology, chemicals and pollution, consequences for plants and crops, soil hydrology, changes and consequences of change, social issues, and more. The journal welcomes readerships from all fields, but hopes to be particularly profitable to analytical and water chemists and geologists as well as chemical, environmental, petrochemical, water treatment, geophysics and geological engineers. The journal has a multi-disciplinary approach and includes research, results, theory, models, analysis, applications and reviews. Work in lab or field is applicable. Of particular interest are manuscripts relating to environmental concerns. Other possible topics include, but are not limited to: Properties and analysis covering all areas of research into soil, air and water individually as well as how they interact with each other and different components of the environment Soil hydrology and microbiology Changes and consequences of environmental change, chemicals and pollution.
