Launch of the WEFE4MED Nexus Community of Practice

On 25 September 2024, the Mediterranean Water Energy, Food, Ecosystems (WEFE) Nexus Community of Practice will be launched in Cyprus. The WEFE4MED Project aims to promote a Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystems Nexus approach in the Mediterranean through a Nexus Community of Practice, uniting various stakeholders to address climate and environmental challenges facing societies and agro-ecological systems. Specific objectives include facilitating the adoption of Nexus solutions, demonstrating the benefits through case studies, exploring financial mechanisms to support WEFE initiatives, and establishing regional demonstration sites for replication and policy development.

ICARDA is a proud partner organization of the WEFE4Med Project and will be represented at the event by Charles Kleinermann, Team Leader of the Capacity Development Unit. ICARDA will oversee an internship program, organize a summer school for practitioners, and promote the membership.

The event is organized by the Cyprus Institute and funded by the PRIMA program with support from the European Union.
