#UN forecasts 40% water shortfall by 2030. Currently 70% of the water is used for #Agriculture. The social start-up "Effishent" brings Aquaponics to small-scale farming. It saves 90% of the #Water and ensures food security. A true #NexusApproach! More here bit.ly/2PtyDjF

The @stepscentre Summer School is a unique opportunity for PhD students and post-docs whose work is engaged with the politics of sustainability science. Join a very international, interdisciplinary cohort to learn, debate and exchange ideas. See the link below to apply.
What and who is sustainability for? What politics, ideas, methods and alliances are needed now?
If you're a PhD student or post-doc grappling with these questions, come and join our 2019 Summer School on Pathways to Sustainability.

Great to see this piece in @nature on co-production of knowledge in climate change research. A process that "can be circuitous and unpredictable, but ultimately is more worthwhile." #IPCCReport
Carolina Vera explains how working with the people who actually use the outcomes of her climate research can be ‘circuitous and unpredictable, but ultimately is more worthwhile’. go.nature.com/2A0kB0x
A date for the diaries:
The #Water #Energy #Food #Nexus is one of the topics of the forthcoming @ECCA2019 European #ClimateChange #Adaptation Conference, 28-31 May 2019, #Lisbon #NexusApproach
This @MAGIC_NEXUS newsletter will be of particular interest for those working on the role of innovation in policymaking for the water-energy-food nexus. Covering #biogas, #fracking, #greenbonds & an article on issues of trust and knowledge co-production in #innovation policy.
It's time. The quarterly Nexus Times is out! This issue is on #INNOVATION.
In this issue we explore the policy considerations of #biogas, #fracking, #greenbonds and #EU #innovations in #complexity. Check it out here: magic-nexus.eu/nexus-times
