- Abstract
Water, energy, and food are all essential components of human societies. Collectively, their respective resource systems are interconnected in what is called the “nexus”. There is growing consensus that a holistic understanding of the interdependencies and trade-offs between these sectors and other related systems is critical to solving many of the global challenges they present. While nexus research has grown exponentially since 2011, there is no unified, overarching approach, and the implementation of concepts remains hampered by the lack of clear case studies. Here, we present the results of a collaborative thought exercise involving 75 scientists and summarize them into 10 key recommendations covering: the most critical nexus issues of today, emerging themes, and where future efforts should be directed. We conclude that a nexus community of practice to promote open communication among researchers, to maintain and share standardized datasets, and to develop applied case studies will facilitate transparent comparisons of models and encourage the adoption of nexus approaches in practice.

- Abstract
Over the past decades, the understanding and assessment of cross-systems interactions have gained momentum in research and policy-support. As such, scientific literature on Nexus assessment methods and applications continues to grow, followed by numerous state-of-the-art reviews. Among the flexibility and variety of Nexus approaches, comprehensive, transferable and accessible methodologies with operational potential are missing. To address this gap, we introduce the SIM4NEXUS approach, which emerged from twelve test cases. Fledged from practice, the approach is a unique output in the Nexus research field. It is informed by the development of twelve case studies, which differ in spatial scope, socioeconomic and biophysical contexts, and Nexus challenges. The studies were conducted under similar conditions (e.g., timeframe and multidisciplinary teams of experts and dialogues with practitioners from policy and business). We find that transdisciplinarity and the integration of qualitative and quantitative methods are vital elements in Nexus assessments for policy support. Additionally, we also propose steps to advance Nexus assessments: 1) integration of the policy cycle in research (including monitoring and evaluation, and offer support during the implementation process), 2) multidisciplinary collaboration with different levels of engagement and financial support, 3) inclusion of ecosystems and other relevant dimensions (e.g., health) in the Nexus. Ultimately, the SIM4NEXUS approach provides practice-based guidance on conducting a Nexus assessment, and we recommend it for future Nexus assessments by the research community, institutions, and private actors.

- Abstract
The Netherlands has the ambitious target of transitioning to a low-carbon economy by 2050. One factor that may constrain this progress, however, is the large spatial requirements of renewable energy technologies, and resulting competition for land through interlinkages between the Climate (C), Land (L), Energy (E), Water (W) and Food (F) domains—the CLEWF nexus. This study aims at identifying innovations that can improve the performance of the nexus by addressing the land scarcity constraint while supporting the low-carbon economy transition. A framework for the identification of potential innovations applicable in the nexus context was developed and applied. It is derived from a Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) analysis of land scarcity in the Dutch nexus and a stock-taking benchmarking analysis of European countries. An inventory of innovations was prepared based on several classifications of innovations, collecting examples from the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Latvia and Sweden. Three innovations were identified as particularly promising: district heating, Energy Service Companies and peak shaving through water pumping. Furthermore, the DPSIR framework was also used to identify overarching societal elements common to countries that successfully implemented sustainable innovations. These were found to relate to long-term political commitments, geopolitical and economic drivers, and pioneering approaches building from and towards national strengths.

- Abstract
The Nexus concept is the interconnection between the resources energy, water, food, land and climate. Such interconnections enable to address trade-offs and seek for synergies among them. Several policy areas (e.g. bio-based economy, circular economy) increasingly consider the Nexus concept. Ignoring synergies and trade-offs between energy and natural flows, can generate misleading modelling outcomes. Several modelling tools are available to address energy and the Nexus. Based on six such models, this paper aims to support the design and testing of coherent strategies for sustainable development. Model improvements would be achieved by comparing model outcomes and including a common baseline., QC 20180115

Mestrado em Sistemas Energéticos Sustentáveis Resource management policies are frequently designed and planned to target specific needs of particular sectors, without taking into account the interests of other sectors who share the same resources. In a climate of resource depletion, population growth, increase in energy demand and climate change awareness, it is of great importance to promote the assessment of intersectoral linkages and, by doing so, understand their effects and implications. This need is further augmented when common use of resources might not be solely relevant at national level, but also when the distribution of resources ranges over different nations. This dissertation focuses on the study of the energy systems of five south eastern European countries, which share the Sava River Basin, using a water-food(agriculture)-energy nexus approach. In the case of the electricity generation sector, the use of water is essential for the integrity of the energy systems, as the electricity production in the riparian countries relies on two major technologies dependent on water resources: hydro and thermal power plants. For example, in 2012, an average of 37% of the electricity production in the SRB countries was generated by hydropower and 61% in thermal power plants. Focusing on the SRB, in terms of existing installed capacities, the basin accommodates close to a tenth of all hydropower capacity while providing water for cooling to 42% of the net capacity of thermal power currently in operation in the basin. This energy-oriented nexus study explores the dependency on the basin’s water resources of the energy systems in the region for the period between 2015 and 2030. To do so, a multi-country electricity model was developed to provide a quantification ground to the analysis, using the open-source software modelling tool OSeMOSYS. Three main areas are subject to analysis: first, the impact of energy efficiency and renewable energy strategies in the electricity generation mix; secondly, the potential impacts of climate change under a moderate climate change projection scenario; and finally, deriving from the latter point, the cumulative impact of an increase in water demand in the agriculture sector, for irrigation. Additionally, electricity trade dynamics are compared across the different scenarios under scrutiny, as an effort to investigate the implications of the aforementioned factors in the electricity markets in the region. As políticas de gestão de recursos são, frequentemente, desenvolvidas e planeadas para fazer face às necessidades específicas de determinados sectores, sem terem em conta os interesses de outros sectores que também utilizam os mesmos recursos. Num cenário de esgotamento de recursos, crescimento populacional, aumento da procura de energia e sensibilização para as mudanças climáticas, é de grande importância promover a avaliação de ligações intersectoriais e, ao fazê-lo, perceber as suas implicações e efeitos. Esta necessidade é ainda maior quando o uso comum de recursos não é relevante apenas a nível nacional mas também quando a distribuição de recursos se alarga a outras nações diferentes. A presente dissertação centra-se no estudo dos sistemas energéticos de cinco países da região sudeste da Europa que partilham a bacia do rio Sava (BRS), recorrendo a uma abordagem da relação água-alimentação(agricultura)-energia. No caso do sector de produção de eletricidade a utilização da água é essencial para a integridade dos sistemas energéticos, pois a produção de energia nos países da BRS provém de duas tecnologias principais que dependem da água: centrais hídricas e térmicas. A título de exemplo, em 2012, da produção de eletricidade dos países da BRS, 37% foi gerada a partir de energia hídrica e 61% produzida por centrais térmoelétricas. Olhando para a BRS, em termos da potência instalada existente, a bacia acomoda cerca de um décimo de toda a potência hidroelétrica instalada e, ao mesmo tempo, contribui com água para os sistemas de arrefecimento de 42% da potência total instalada das centrais térmicas em funcionamento na região. Este estudo integrado do nexus para a energia explora a dependência entre os sistemas energéticos da região com os recursos hídricos da bacia, entre os anos 2015 e 2030. Para tal, foi desenvolvido um modelo do sistema elétrico transnacional para fornecer uma base quantificavel à análise, usando o software de código aberto OSeMOSYS. A análise é feita a três áreas principais: a primeira corresponde ao impacto das estratégias de eficiência energética e energias renováveis no mix energético de produção de eletricidade; a segunda relaciona-se com os potenciais impactos das alterações climáticas, atendendo a previsões de um cenário moderado de mudanças climáticas e, por último, decorrente do ponto anterior, o impacto cumulativo do aumento da procura de água para irrigação no sector agrícola. Este estudo inclui ainda uma comparação da dinâmica da exportação/importação de eletricidade nos diferentes cenários, com o objetivo de investigar as implicações que os fatores mencionados anteriormente poderão ter nos mercados da eletricidade dos países desta região.
