Case studies
Over the 4-year project, a series of diverse case studies will dive into the WEFE issues focusing on the role of water, energy, food and ecosystem governance. These include 6 case studies based on river basins in Europe and Africa and 2 case studies tackling the global and EU issues in a broader sense.
The 6 river basins are unique in their own way. They are diverse in terms of their climate, geography, economic issues, and politics. Some of the river basins span across several countries, while others occupy a small geographical area.
Researchers will carefully monitor the river basins in dialogue with local stakeholders and apply this knowledge to future scenarios, tools and solutions.
