Overview
Power, Institutions, and Inclusive Governance in the WEFE Nexus
As climate extremes—from severe droughts to urban floods—place unprecedented stress on interconnected resource systems, it becomes clear that resource management is not merely a technical challenge, but a deeply political one. Access to water, energy, food, and land is profoundly shaped by governance structures, power relations, and institutional fragmentation. This session explores the governance dimensions of nexus thinking, moving beyond traditional top-down approaches to uncover transdisciplinary pathways for resilient, equitable, and inclusive resource management.
