SUMMARY:Water\, Energy\, Food and Environment (WEFE) Nexus Autumn School
DESCRIPTION:Description: \nAround one-seventh of the world’s population lacks a secure food supply and has only limited access to clean water\, sanitation or modern energy sources. To tackle this challenge\, resources need to be managed and more integrated to avoid over-exploitation and allow more inclusive access for all. The WEFE Nexus provides an innovative framework that captures the interrelationships\, synergies\, and trade-offs between water\, energy\, and food in different environmental contexts. This Autumn School will introduce junior scholars to the interdependencies of the Nexus elements at different geographic scales (global\, basin\, national\, and local) with a focus on Africa. At each level\, the integration of the nexus elements will be investigated. \n21 – 22 October 2021 (Module 1)\n27 – 29 October 2021 (Module 2)\n04 – 06 November 2021 (Module 3)\n11 – 12 November 2021 (Module 4)\n\nKeywords: Nexus\, Water\, Energy\, Food\, Environment \nApplication Deadline: \nApplications are still possible in specific cases. If you have not yet managed to apply please write to wefe@sirop.org before September 20th. \n\n Click here to apply. \n\nFormat:\n\n\nDue to the world-wide restrictions concerning Covid-19\, IDEA League is offering this school in an online format. \n\nParticipants:\n\n\nMSc and/or PhD researchers from IDEA League or African partner universities are welcome to apply. \n\nRequirements:\n\n\n\nCurriculum vitae & publication list\nLetter of motivation\nOptional letter of recommendation\n\n\nExpenses:\n\n\nThere are no registration or tuition fees for selected participants. \n\nThe WEFE Nexus School offers students the possibility to gain a comprehensive understanding of the interconnections between water\, energy\, food and the environment and to develop new ideas for sustainable solutions. In addition to acquiring theoretical knowledge\, a focus is placed on practical solutions and case studies that enable participants to apply their knowledge and foster interdisciplinary collaboration between people from different backgrounds.  \nThe WEFE Nexus School brings together students and faculty of European and African universities for a unique learning experience. Students will benefit from the wide range of expertise and diverse perspectives on pressing challenges and emerging solutions. The diversity of case studies allows students to explore the WEFE Nexus in different geographic contexts.    \nSelected participants must attend all live sessions as outlined in the program. \n\n\nGoals: \n\n\n\nPreparing junior researchers to deal with the scarcity of resources\nUnderstanding the interrelationships between water\, energy\, food and environment\nUnderstanding the WEFE challenges and solutions at different geographical levels\nGetting introduced to different tools necessary to deal with WEFE challenges\nBringing researchers from different backgrounds to foster teamwork for solving multidisciplinary problems\n\n\nOrganizers: \n\n\nThis program is a collaboration between IDEA League member universities and the following African universities:\n\n\nUniversity of Johannesburg\nAddis Ababa University\nEduardo Mondlane University\nStellenbosch University\nUniversity of Ghana \nDetail program agenda is found here.

SUMMARY:COP26 Water-Energy Nexus: Fueling Synergies through the Water-Energy Nexus – Honouring Energy Day at the Water Pavilion
DESCRIPTION:Event Description: \nWater and energy are inextricably linked\, both in their relationship towards one another as well as in the fight against climate change. Both resources are greatly affected by climate change\, however are\, in their interface\, necessary to mitigate its effects and allow us to adapt to them effectively. In order to successfully harness their potential for the latter\, we need an integrated and holistic approach to their management\, avoiding silo strategies and focusing instead on maximizing synergies where possible. In this session\, we kick-off the Water-Energy day at the Blue Pavilion with four different perspectives of this powerful nexus. The Nexus Regional Dialogues programme is excited to announce that we will be hosting two sessions at the first ever Water Pavilion at COP26! The speakers will shed light onto the different challenges and opportunities inherent to the Water-Energy intersection\, present ambitious national plans from the Middle East to East Africa and explore the important role of the private sector to bring about innovation and investments. \nThe first session is titled “Fueling synergies through the Water-Energy Nexus – honoring Energy Day at the Water Pavilion”. \nSpeakers: \n• Cate Lamb\, Global Director of Water Security at Carbon Disclosure Project and UFCCC COP 26 \n• Eng. Bashar Bataineh\, Secretary General of the Water Authority of Jordan \n• Beatrice Cyiza\, Director General of Environment and Climate Change of the Ministry of Environment of Rwanda \n• Claudia Ringler\, Deputy Division Director & Senior Research Fellow at the International Food Policy Research Institute\, IFPRI \n• Michael Webber\, University of Texas \nThe session will be moderated  by (including welcoming and concluding remarks): Molly Walton\, Energy and Transport Manager at “We Mean Business” Coalition Scene setter on Water-Energy Nexus: Fueling Synergies through the Water-Energy Nexus – Honouring Energy Day at the Water Pavilion \n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease find more details here. The session will be free of charge and livestreamed on YouTube. The link will be embedded on the Water Pavilion page\, under ‘Watch Live’ on the top right.
