The project supports its partners in designing, planning and implementing practically oriented nexus pilot projects. The consulting process involves political stakeholders at all three levels. And at the macro level, the project works with ministries and other national authorities and agencies, which underpin its links to the international Rio+20, SDG and HABITAT III debate. Key players at the intermediate level include city associations, training institutions and non-governmental organisations. The project focuses on the topics of secure water supply and sanitation systems, energy security and efficiency, land use, and food security.The main starting point is at the local level, with the municipal administrations and planning offices, as well as the utilities. In these cities, institutional and human resources have been developed. The foundations have been established for integrated resources management in selected Asian cities. They now play a major role in formulating the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and preparations for the HABITAT III Conference, which is to be held in Quito, Ecuador, in October 2016. The issues of water, energy and food security, and their interrelationship gained heightened international attention during the Rio+20 Conference in June 2012. Thus, they are unable to make adequate use of the interrelationship between the three ‘nexus’ sectors (water, energy and food security) or to fully exploit the resulting potentials and synergies for their implementation processes. Municipalities in Asia usually plan and manage their activities along sectoral lines rather than in an integrated manner. Especially when it comes to water supply and sanitation, energy supply and efficiency, land use and food security, most Asian cities have already reached a critical situation, which makes sustainable development seem difficult to achieve. This presents urban supply systems and operators with huge challenges. The urban population in Asia is growing by 44 million people every year. ![]() Lead executing agency: United Nations Economic and Social Commission Asia Pacific (UN ESCAP) Title: Integrated resource management in Asian cities: the urban nexusĬommissioned by: German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ)Ĭountry: China, Indonesia, Mongolia, Philippines, Thailand, Viet Nam ![]()
