Nexus analysis and tools development has started, where KTH Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) and Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) teams have worked jointly with local partners in Jordan and Morocco to develop quantitative modelling strategies on the nexus water-agriculture-energy-climate change using a participatory method.
A virtual discussion between NEXUS stakeholders and WA/WP experts was organized in Morocco (Souss Massa) and Jordan, with the objective of defining the linkages and proposed scenarios as a result of COVID-19.
Capacity development
Country-level nexus dialogue process and capacity development on tools has started, where three of six steps were realized: step one – analysis of the sectors and the interaction between sectors; step two - first dialogue process to understand the nexus issues in the country (Jordan) or region (Souss-Massa in Morocco); step three - development of the integrated Nexus model. Each dialogue event gathered an average of 30 participants from different sectors and disciplines.
Regional training on water-energy-food and climate nexus tools was organized as part of the Land and Water Days by SEI and KTH.
