The OECD Global Forum on Environment on the topic of “New Perspectives on the Water-Energy-Food Nexus” will be held on 27-28 November 2014 at the OECD headquarters in Paris. This Forum will provide a platform for senior policy experts, private sector leaders and government officials from OECD and Partner Countries to explore how countries can align policy goals to address water, energy and food reforms in a more coherent way. The Forum will be held over two days and will discuss four areas that can contribute to more integrated policy making in this domain:
- Understanding long-term impacts of the nexus on growth
- Improving coherence between national, regional and local planning and priorities
- Promoting private sector investment in the nexus
- Mainstreaming the nexus in the post-2015 development agenda
The Forum will also feature a high-level meeting of the Global Dialogue on Water Security and Sustainable Growth, co-chaired by the OECD Secretary-General Mr. Angel Gurría and Dr. Ursula Schaefer-Preuss of the Global Water Partnership.
