Nexus research for sustainability and inclusiveness in practice

Nexus research is advancing from knowledge creation towards public awareness and inclusiveness for civil society, public-private partnerships, and knowledge partners. Nexus research was mainly focused on a better understanding of interlinkages between the relevant resources at stake (e.g., water, energy, food, and ecosystems), the focus is increasingly searching for building communities, training, and career development. 

Research on the WEFE nexus increasingly aims to create platforms building capacity among institutions, knowledge partners, and capacity development. Educational and learning programs are developed by hot spots of the nexus. Expanding transdisciplinary research methods could facilitate building a community and network of nexus professionals. Capacity development and awareness are also critical for the successful planning and implementation of nexus practices. Some successful examples of knowledge creation for inclusiveness are shared.  The presentation will identify some key enablers and measures to advance the nexus in practice. Nexus research benefits from advancing along this route.
