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:BACK TO THE NATURE: Exploring the potential of nature-based solutions to face the effects of climate change on water
DESCRIPTION:In its latest report\, published in August 2021\, the IPCC rings the alarm on the predicted consequences of global warming of 1.5C\, which is expected to be reached by 2040\, including on water with the increase of extreme events\, more intense rainfall and droughts. Effects have already been seen throughout the summer of 2021 with fires and floods devastating Europe. \nWith increasing rainfall\, the question of rainwater management must be addressed. Water operators have been at the center of discussions\, as they manage sewer networks and treat works to prevent pollution of water bodies. However\, as existing systems are showing their limits in the face of new challenges\, it is critical to seek new long-term looking solutions. \nParticularly relevant in the context of the revision of the European Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive\, the conference will aim to discuss the consequences of climate change on the water cycle and the role that nature-based solutions can play in addressing storm water and strengthening the resilience of cities and towns. Speakers\, including policymakers\, NGOs\, water operators and scientists\, will review the opportunities and challenges of the increased use of nature-based solutions. \nRegistration is available here.

SUMMARY:Together for the Planet: ENI CBC Med Programme at European Union side event during COP26 Climate Change Conference
DESCRIPTION:Join us on 9 November (6.30 pm-7.30 pm\, CEST) for a session on climate & energy action organised as part of the European Union official programme of side events at COP26\, the 2021 edition of the United Nations (UN) global climate summit. \n\nWe are happy to announce that the ENI CBC Med Programme will be featured at COP26 as part of the digital side events to be held in the framework the European Union Pavilion at the UN climate change conference which is taking place from 31 October to 12 November 2021 in Glasgow\, under the presidency of the United Kingdom. The ENI CBC Med Programme will be involved in the session “Racing to 1.5°: cities implementing evidence-based climate & energy action in Europe & Mediterranean”\, scheduled on 9 of November (6.30 pm-7.30 pm\, CEST)\, which aims to highlight the efforts of local governments and stakeholders in Europe and across the Mediterranean in accelerating climate action. The discussion will showcase impact-driven success stories of cities and local actors in climate and energy plans and concrete measures towards a resilient\, climate neutral future. \nThe session is organized in partnership with the Global/Europe Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy – the largest alliance for city climate leadership across the globe; Clima-Med – the EU-funded project which supports the transition of eight partner countries in the Southern Neighbourhood towards sustainable\, low-carbon and climate-resilient development; and the Italian Municipality of Segrate\, a town of over 35\,000 inhabitants located in the Metropolitan City of Milan. Speakers include representatives of European Commission’s Directorate General for Neighbourhood and Enlargement Negotiations and Joint Research Center\, cities and regions part of the Global/Europe Covenant of Mayors\, the Clima-Med project\, the Mayor of Municipality of Segrate. \nENI CBC Med Programme will be represented by Ms. Sorina Mortada from the Lebanese Center for Energy Conservation (LCEC)\, the organization in charge of leading the efforts of Lebanon in the development of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy to increase energy security and de-carbonization levels. In particular\, Ms. Mortada will share the results of energy-efficiency related ENI CBC Med projects in which the LCEC is partner\, namely BEEP (Building Information Modeling for Energy Efficiency in the Public sector)\, ESMES (Energy Smart Mediterranean Schools Network) and the newly funded capitalization project ‘SEACAP 4 SDG’ (Med SE(A)CAP integration through uniform adapted assessment and financing methods\, mainly targeting buildings in education and health sectors\, for sustainable development goals in a smart society). \nRegister now on the platform of the EU side events at COP26 – https://www.cop26eusideevents.eu/ – and look for the session 8.O.6 as shown below: \n \nRegister now to join us at COP26 Climate Change Conference\nView the programme of the EU side events at COP26 \nThis announcement is taken from here.
