Episode 7: A global nexus perspective on water – insights from the 5th Mediterranean Water Forum
What are the main challenges with regard to the water, energy, food security, and ecosystem (WEFE) nexus in the Mediterranean region? How are they interlinked at the regional and global level? And how can water and food security challenges be addressed through global cooperation? Listen to our new podcast for insights from the 5th Mediterranean Water Forum.
Dr. Raoudha Gafrej, water expert and board member of the Mediterranean Water Institute, highlights the importance of ecosystems and green water. She further calls for more regional and global cooperation to ensure food security in regions most affected by climate change. This also requires preventing speculation on food commodities and thus the virtual water contained therein.
