8 Objectives of this project are to provide policy recommendations and environmental governance structures for increasing security related to the water-energy-food nexus in the Asia-Pacific region. What type of water-energy- food Nexus we are studying? (1) water- food -> food ostly ea s agriculture productio How about water- fishery resources? (2) water-energy-> we focus on; a: renewable energy i.e. geothermal, hydropower etc. b: newly developing energy sources i.e. shale gas etc. in the area of Asia Pacific Ring of Fire

9 How to evaluate water-energy- food Nexus? (1) Natural science approaches: Land ocean interaction Traceability, integrated models etc. (2) Social science approaches: interview, social/economical/cultural analyses, Risk Integrated indices etc. environ ment govern ance Resource-1 Before HH-1 HH-6 Resource-2 HH-2 HH-5 Resource-3 HH-3 social econo my HH-4 Resource-4 Environmental Change (3) Transdisciplinary approaches Co-design/co-production with stakeholders Stakeholder network analyses etc. Network analyses HH-1 Resource-1 HH-6 R-2 HH-2 HH-5 Resource-3 HH-3 Resource-4 HH-4 After
