REsilienT water gOvernance Under climate CHange within the WEFE NEXUS
RETOUCH NEXUS is a 48-month HORIZON EUROPE Research and Innovation project funded by the European Union starting in January 2023 and ending in December 2026.
Working towards a secure water future
Increased water scarcity caused by anthropocentric and natural causes demands an integrated approach in water governance to efficiently allocate water resources to various competing uses. The RETOUCH NEXUS project aims at introducing and promoting the Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystems (WEFE) Nexus as a multi-level and cross-sectoral approach that supports the EU water economy and relies on ecological and social considerations.
