International Workshop on the Implementation of the Water-Energy-Food (WEF) Nexus at different scales for Socio-Economic Development

As part of the 26th ICID International Congress and 77th International Executive Council, the ICID Working Group on WEF Nexus (WG-WFE_N), jointly with ICARDA, FAO, and IWMI, is organizing the International Workshop on the “Implementation of the Water-Energy-Food (WEF) Nexus at Different Scales for Socio-Economic Development” on 13 October, 2026, in Marseille, France.

The workshop convenes global experts to advance integrated, scalable solutions across water, energy, and food systems. The session explores how WEF Nexus approaches can accelerate progress toward Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by addressing system interdependencies, trade-offs, and synergies across scales, from basin to national and transboundary levels. 

It also highlights inclusive governance frameworks, interactive modelling tools, policy and institutional mechanisms, and the integration of socio-economic and cultural dimensions, with particular attention to farmers’ resilience, income improvement, and resource efficiency.
