DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book investigates the need for a more open and interdisciplinary dialogue on the nexus of food, water and energy security in the Arab region. It argues that achieving sustainable economic development is irretrievably tied to the security of the water–energy–food nexus, which is in turn essential for bringing about sustained peace. Further, it discusses various approaches to achieving these lofty objectives, and offers the following take-away messages: The Arab region is currently under considerable water stress, and the situation will continue to get worse with a number of global changes – most notably those related to climate and regional water distribution. Viable solutions are available in the Arab region and can be implemented through innovative policies, judicious use of new technologies, and stimulating public opinion. Integration across water, energy, and food sectors is obviously needed but achieving it in practice is extremely challenging. There are some gaps in the scientific understanding but at the same time there is a wealth of data and synthesized information that can guide decision-making.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn recent years there has been a shift away from thinking of U.S. energy problems as long-term technology and resource issues and toward a greater focus on shorter term problems of the insecurity of oil imports. In February 1980, with the impacts of the 1979 Iranian revolution fresh in everyone's mind, we formed a study group with the objective to use quantitative analytical techniques to study the impacts of oil supply disruptions and the kinds of national policies that could help reduce those impacts.
