Abstract
This research examined the nexus between Sustainable Development Goal 2 - Ending hunger and achieving Food security for all; Sustainable Development Goal 6 – Ensuring the availability and sustainable management of Water and sanitation for all; and Sustainable Development Goal 7 - Ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern Energy for all.
The research presented here is one of the first pan-Arctic Water, Energy, Food (WEF) nexus studies, and goes beyond the production knowledge towards concrete tools, giving both the Arctic Council and the SDWG an opportunity to be innovative in both respects. This study advances integrative thinking that reflects the interconnectedness within WEF systems in ways that will lead to the attainment of the UN Sustainable Development Goals in the Arctic and the development of a Post-2030 Development Agenda in the Arctic.
