WEF Nexus, Water Productivity, and Water Accounting

3:30–5:00 p.m. (GMT +8), Tuesday, Zoom

The water-food-energy (WEF) nexus and water accounting approaches are considered as two powerful tools that can maximize production derived from water use across sectors. This webinar showed the practical promise of implementing the nexus while also explaining how nexus benefits can be (i) better understood through water accounting, and (ii) realized through integrated basin approaches based on multi-stakeholder platforms.
