Interview with Felix Dodds on the Nexus and the SDGs on Global Connection TV

Register now for the Nexus 2018 Conference on Water-Food-Energy-Climate through an Urban Lens  here.

The Water Institute at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is pleased to announce our intention to reconvene our Nexus conference addressing Water-Energy-Food and Climate in spring of 2018.

This will be the second Nexus Conference that The Water Institute has organized. The first in 2014 made a significant input to the negotiations for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), through the Chapel Hill Declaration.​

The 2030 Agenda adopted in 2015 at its heart has 17 SDGs, 169 targets and 232 indicators. It is the blueprint to a more sustainable, fair and equitable world. It is the first global agreement that recognizes the interlinkages between sectors and suggests ways to address them.

The 2018 Nexus Conference will focus on the:

• Science-policy interface;
• partnerships;
• solutions;
• review of Sustainable Development Goal commitments (2018 and for the Heads of State review in 2019);
• sharing of tools, indicators and methodologies; and
• the identification of gaps.

The conference will facilitate space for the development of collaborative work.
