(BWEF Learnings) Building Sustainable and Disaster Resilient Communities: Navigating Shocks to the Biodiversity-Water-Food-Energy Nexus through Learnings from Japan, India, and the UK
About

The BWEF-Learnings Project examines how shocks and disasters affect the interconnected biodiversity, water, energy, and food (BWEF) systems, highlighting the need to move beyond siloed approaches to resilience. Drawing on experiences from Japan, India, and the UK, it uses virtual meetings, workshops, scoping exercises, and site visits to strengthen research capacity among early- and mid-career researchers. Fifteen participants from the three countries engage in collaborative activities to develop integrated resilience strategies. The project aims to build a sustainable international research network, foster interdisciplinary expertise, and generate actionable insights to inform policy, practice, and future funding on BWEF resilience.
