Features of Pathways to a Sustainable Future for ASEAN: 1. Governance: Improved governance that balances the use of resources for economic development with the needs of citizens and recognizes the opportunity costs associated with alternative uses of energy and water, including uses that support food production and distribution; 2. Holistic Approach: The need for a holistic approach to the energy-water-food nexus, recognizing that actions taken with respect to any one of these sectors will inevitably affect the others, and without careful evidence-based planning, is likely to be detrimental to one or more of them; Integrated Foresight for Sustainable Economic Development and Eco- Resilience in ASEAN Countries (Final Report) 12
Features of Pathways to a Sustainable Future for ASEAN: 3. Community-based decision making: The recognition that achieving inclusiveness and promoting social equity will require the development and implementation of effective practices for community-based decisionmaking, as well as local capacity building that involves outreach, education and training, and investment.
