Conclusions.This book argues that a variety of policies will be required to create synergies between the water-energy-food nexus sectors while reducing trade-offs in the development of a green economy. Despite rising demand for water, energy and food globally, the governance of water-energy-food sectors has generally remained separate with limited attention placed on the interactions that exist between them.  Brears provides readers with a series of in-depth case studies of leading cities, states, nations and regions of differing climates, lifestyles and income-levels from around the world that have implemented a variety of policy innovations to reduce water-energy-food nexus pressures and achieve green growth.  The Green Economy and the Water-Energy-Food Nexus will be of interest to town and regional planners, resource conservation managers, policymakers, international companies and organisations interested in reducing water-energy-food nexus pressures, environmental NGOs, researchers, graduate and undergraduate students.Environmental managementEnvironmental economicsEnvironmental policyPhysical geographyWaterHydrologyEnvironmental ManagementEnvironmental EconomicsEnvironmental PolicyPhysical GeographyWaterEnvironmental management.Environmental economics.Environmental policy.Physical geography.Water.Hydrology.Environmental Management.Environmental Economics.Environmental Policy.Physical Geography.Water.338.927Brears Robert C.authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut908772BOOK9910299399303321The Green Economy and the Water-Energy-Food Nexus2505339UNINA
