SUMMARY:E-Learning Course: Sustainability of Social-Ecological Systems: The Nexus between Water\, Energy and Food
DESCRIPTION:Overview \nIn this course you will become familiar with the ideas of the water-energy-food nexus and transdisciplinary thinking. You will learn to see your community or country as a complex social-ecological system and to describe its water\, energy and food metabolism in the form of a pattern\, as well as to map the categories of social actors. We will provide you with the tools to measure the nexus elements and to analyze them in a coherent way across scales and dimensions of analysis. In this way\, your quantitative analysis will become useful for informed decision-making. You will be able to detect and quantify dependence on non-renewable resources and externalization of environmental problems to other societies and ecosystems (a popular ‘solution’ in the western world). Practical case studies\, from both developed and developing countries\, will help you evaluate the state-of-play of a given community or country and to evaluate possible solutions. Last but not least\, you will learn to see pressing social-ecological issues\, such as energy poverty\, water scarcity and inequity\, from a radically different perspective\, and to question everything you’ve been told so far. \n\nLevel: Intermediate\nCommitment: 4-6 hours/week\nLanguage of Instruction: English\nPass all graded assignments to complete the course\n\nView Syllabus Here \nEnrollment and Dates \nEnroll can be completed on the Coursera website.

SUMMARY:AGEP Winter School: An interdisciplinary perspective on the Water-Energy-Food Nexus
DESCRIPTION:UPDATE: Event Cancelled \n“Following the recommendations concerning health precautions\, the Nexus Winter School is canceled for now. We very much regret the situation and hope to be able to offer the event again in the course of the year.” \nInterdisciplinary Workshop for students\, DAAD Scholarship Holders and young researchers. \nOverall topic of the workshop is the scientific coverage of the so-called water\, energy and food nexus by an interdisciplinary approach. With this interdisciplinary approach the interlinkages\, similarities but also differences of the mentioned three sectors\, new insights and different perspectives will be achieved and a deeper understanding will be created. Another focus lies on the network benefits of this workshop\, which arise when students\, scholars and interested people will collaborate in such a cross-cutting scientific topic and will take into consideration the different perspectives of the “global north” and the “global south”.\nExperts of different research areas from the GIZ\, DIE-GDI\, UNU\, TH-Köln\, Uni Darmstadt\, Uni Bonn\, and GSI will present latest research findings on the focus areas water\, energy\, soil and food. Additionally the participants will work in various working groups on the lecture inputs using the Open Space method.\nThe detailed program for the workshop will be available by mid-February. \nParticipation and registration:\nAttendance fee is 40\,- € (60\,- € for participants who want to be accommodated for 2 nights at the conference center).
