The integrated modelling framework developed by SUNEX analyses alternative development pathways, showing the impacts on the supply and demand for food, water and energy different scenarios. The project offers decision-makers a set of policy guidelines that produce “win-win” outcomes that fight climate change and make urban food, water and energy systems more efficient.
In the fight against climate change, combining Green and Blue Infrastructure (GBI) planning strategies with urban systems integration is a promising strategy for reducing carbon emissions and waste production whilst strengthening cities’ ecosystem services. The IFWEN project fills an important knowledge gap by demonstrating which types of GBI and ecoservice are connected, as well as showing policy makers how GBI can be used as an instrument for transformative change.
What are the benefits of targeting food in the food-water-energy nexus? Is is time to govern these resources differently in cities? The Creating Interfaces project has carried out international research on how food, energy and water systems interact (as a nexus) in three cities: Slupsk (Poland) Tulcea (Romania) and Wilmington (U.S.A). We met with Pia Laborgne and Iulian Nichersu to learn from their popular results.
Are your in a SUGI Nexus funded project? Save the dates 22- 25 March 2022 for the (online) final event. Final dates and hours will be announced in December, alongside a preliminary program and further instructions.
The CRUNCH project has presented their results at the prestigious Architecture Biennale in Venice. CRUNCH forecasts the possibilities of innovative and efficient use of resources such as water, energy, and food. It is supported in the call Sustainable Urbanisation Global Initiative (SUGI)/Food-Water-Energy Nexus.
Did you know that the majority of JPI Urban Europe funded research- and innovation projects formulate evidence-based policy recommendations? Newest in is a policy brief by the ENLARGE project, about linking policy for low-carbon heating systems- with social sustainability and water usage…
