Climate, Energy and Water: Managing Trade-offs, Seizing Opportunities

With the global population expected to reach nine billion by 2050, our capacity to provide enough food, water and energy relies on our understanding and management of the complex interdependencies in the climate-energy-water nexus. This book presents a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of the interdependencies between these sectors and the knock-on consequences of those interactions for other sectors, such as food production and biodiversity conservation. The interdisciplinary nature of the book across the three sectors of climate, energy and water means that it will be valuable for advanced students, researchers and policymakers across a broad range of fields, including environmental/energy/water/climate policy, environmental economics, climate science, hydrology, ecology and geography. The first comprehensive and up-to-date book on the whole climate-energy-water nexus from a global point of view Contains real-world practical examples of important 'win-win' opportunities Includes sections on the knock-on consequences for other issues such as food production and biodiversity conservation
