Climate change and the Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystems (WEFE) nexus in the Mediterranean Basin

The Mediterranean is a climate change hotspot where both human societies and ecosystems face high exposure and vulnerability. Population and economic growth, agricultural intensification, urbanisation, pollution, and unsustainable resource management impact the level of insecurity for water, energy, food, and ecosystems (WEFE), putting the capacity of Mediterranean countries to reach the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda at risk. This illustrated summary showcases the main findings of the MedECC Special Report Interlinking climate change with the Water – Energy – Food – Ecosystems (WEFE) nexus in the Mediterranean Basin published in 2024.
