Book synopsis

This open access book undertakes a comprehensive analysis of "Water-Energy-Food Nexus", with a sub-regional focus on East and Southeast Asia. The sub-region is responsible for significant consumption of global water resources and food production. With explosive population growth and rising of living standards, increasing demands are placed upon land and water resources in order to meet the future demands for food and energy. Increasing competition over finite resources across the various sectors and trans-boundaries is intensified without long-term strategy to achieve water, energy, and food security at a regional scale.This book will introduces complex links between water, energy, and food security and explores socioeconomic implication of the nexus approach with a special focus on the cross-cutting issues (e.g. climate change, gender, urbanization, impacts on environment and economy, and transboundary). By presenting the most recent research and science-based evidences, this book provides new insight into nexus solutions.This book opens with introduction and sub-regional overview, offering rationale of the regional approach to solve nexus equations. The first section of the book provides "Regional Overview" of present status of water, energy, and food resources, to share basic facts and figures. The second section focuses on "Sub-regional Issues" and analyses water-energy-food relationships based on different case studies. The section also investigates the socioeconomic and environmental challenges of the sub-region. The third section studies all the major "Cross-Cutting Themes" as the key drivers of policy, actions, and strategies in the sub-region and some innovative approaches and advanced nexus solutions. The last section, "Integrated Narrative", discusses sub-regional efforts to achieve long-term security. A final chapter of the book explores the some future scenarios and opens a new question to best deal with future challenges using the nexus approach.
