Description

Climate Change Impacts on the Water-Energy-Food Nexus: Net Zero Emissions and Sustainability identifies and assesses climate change impacts on the nexus of food, energy, and waste. It also strives to examine how to contribute to net zero emissions through the water-energy-food nexus.

This book elaborates the roles of water, energy, and food nexus in the 4th Industrial Revolution for environmental protection using resource recovery while presenting an in-depth exploration system to reducing carbon emissions to maximize the overall welfare of socio-economic systems and achieve sustainability by addressing sustainable development goals. Climate Change Impacts on the Water-Energy-Food Nexus: Net Zero Emissions and Sustainability provides a comprehensive understanding of possible issues relevant to climate change impacts, the water-energy-food nexus, and net zero emissions.

Key features

  • Examines extensive knowledge in a multi-faceted approach of water, energy, and food nexus on how their interactions impact each other and how they can collectively converge towards a long-lasting environmentally benign co-existence through climate change adaptation and mitigation
  • Provides a comprehensive overview with critical analysis of contribution of water, energy, and food nexus to the net zero emissions goal
  • Critically investigates the impacts of technology, society, environment and economics on net zero emission in the sustainability sphere by unlocking the nexus of water, food and energy

Readership

Scientists, engineers, researchers, students, engineers, academicians, ecologists, professionals and practitioners interested in environmental science, climate change, sustainability, decarbonization, and ecology
