Examining Urban Resilience Through a Food-Water-Energy Nexus Lens to Understand the Effects of Climate Change
Beschreibung:
Urban centers located on the coast expose some of the most vulnerable populations to the effects of climate change. In addition to the challenges faced by high population densities and interdependent social-ecological systems, there is an increasing demand for resources. Exposing the pinch points in urban systems that are already sensitive to extreme weather events, highlights the systems that will be least resilient in the face of climate change. This article develops a narrative of spatial scales to map the effect of climate change onto the components of the Food-Water-Energy Nexus. Resilience thinking acknowledges the different spatial scales at which governance operates, resilience occurs, and Nexus systems operate. We demonstrate through a case study that the effects of climate change at locations remote from the city can impact the resilience of the community in multiple ways
