This book explores how integrated management of environmental resources via a nexus approach can help in achieving the respective Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It provides conceptual considerations but mainly practical examples on how to implement a nexus approach in cities and multifunctional land-use systems to increase resource use efficiency and develop a low carbon economy.
After sketching out the background and conceptual outline, contributions to the book explore key aspects of the nexus implementation. Specifically, they
Demonstrate how to sustainably use organic waste and wastewater for agriculture,
Explore examples on how to manage multifunctional land-use systems including multipurpose reservoirs,
Highlightthe importance of economic incentives for successful nexus implementation, and
Provide a comprehensive perspective on challenges and opportunities of implementation, considering peer-to-peer learning, indigenous knowledge, and stakeholder participation.
The chapters in this book shed a new light on key aspects of the interrelation between SDGs and the nexus approach in resilient cities and multifunctional land-use systems, and provide specific examples on how to advance sustainable resources management.
