It argues that achieving sustainable economic development is irretrievably tied to the security of the water?energy?food nexus, which is in turn essential for bringing about sustained peace. Further, it discusses various approaches to achieving these lofty objectives, and offers the following take-away messages: The Arab region is currently under considerable water stress, and the situation will continue to get worse with a number of global changes ? most notably those related to climate and regional water distribution. Viable solutions are available in the Arab region and can be implemented through innovative policies, judicious use of new technologies, and stimulating public opinion. Integration across water, energy, and food sectors is obviously needed but achieving it in practice is extremely challenging. There are some gaps in the scientific understanding but at the same time there is a wealth of data and synthesized information that can guide decision-making. 410 0$aWater Security in a New World,$x2367-4008 606 $aEnergy policy 606 $aEnergy and state 606 $aChemistry 606 $aSocial structure 606 $aEquality 606 $aEnvironmental health 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aWater-supply 606 $aEnergy Policy, Economics and Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/112000 606 $aChemistry/Food Science, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C00004 606 $aSocial Structure, Social Inequality$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22010 606 $aWater and Health$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/213000 606 $aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/215000 606 $aWater Industry/Water Technologies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/214000 615 0$aEnergy policy. 615 0$aEnergy and state. 615 0$aChemistry. 615 0$aSocial structure. 615 0$aEquality. 615 0$aEnvironmental health. 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 0$aWater-supply. 615 14$aEnergy Policy, Economics and Management. 615 24$aChemistry/Food Science, general. 615 24$aSocial Structure, Social Inequality. 615 24$aWater and Health. 615 24$aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management. 615 24$aWater Industry/Water Technologies. 676 $a333.91009174927 702 $aAmer$b Kamel$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aAdeel$b Zafar$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aBöer$b Benno$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSaleh$b Walid$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910155299403321 996 $aThe Water, Energy, and Food Security Nexus in the Arab Region$92496058 997 $aUNINA
