Moving on from the nexus assessment: Solutions and implementation

The nexus assessments of each basin considered in this publication conclude with the identification of possible “nexus solutions” that national and regional authorities and decision- makers, as well as other concerned stakeholders, can implement. A “nexus solution” can be defined broadly as “an intervention that would benefit more than one sector, in this context including also interventions that reduce the pressure on ecosystems (or the environment at large).” This means that nexus solutions can materialize not only as the concerted action of multiple parties but also as the action of one sector that brings cross-sectoral benefits.
