商品描述

Providing food, clean water and energy for a growing population is one of the greatest challenges facing public and private sector professionals. While there is widespread recognition of the complex feedback loops between energy, water and food, there has been less focus on viable solutions.

This guide by Will Sarni – an internationally recognized thought leader on corporate water stewardship and water tech innovation – frames the key issues and challenges for business professionals, and then outlines emerging solutions which include both "soft path" and technology innovation approaches.

The book includes case examples of multinational companies who are abandoning business as usual and moving beyond traditional thinking. It also highlights crucial new partnerships or "collective action initiatives" where NGOs, multinationals and the public sector come together to forge practical solutions to meet the needs of their stakeholders.

Solutions to the energy–water–food nexus will need to be disruptive, not incremental, and will require technology innovation, new public–private partnerships, and changes in public policy.

Beyond the Energy–Food–Water Nexus shows organizations how they can play their part in improving the quality of life for an urbanized global population while preserving the ecosystems that sustain us all.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

提供食物、清潔水源和能源以滿足不斷增長的人口需求,是公共和私營部門專業人士面臨的最大挑戰之一。儘管人們普遍認識到能源、水和食物之間複雜的反饋循環,但對於可行解決方案的關注卻相對較少。

這本由 Will Sarni 撰寫的指南——他是國際公認的企業水資源管理和水科技創新的思想領袖——框定了商業專業人士面臨的關鍵問題和挑戰,並概述了新興的解決方案,包括「軟路徑」和技術創新方法。

本書包含了多家跨國公司的案例,這些公司正在放棄傳統的商業運作方式,超越傳統思維。它還突顯了重要的新夥伴關係或「集體行動倡議」,在這些倡議中,非政府組織、跨國公司和公共部門共同合作,尋求實際解決方案以滿足其利益相關者的需求。

解決能源–水–食物聯結的方案需要具備顛覆性,而非漸進性,並將需要技術創新、新的公私合營夥伴關係以及公共政策的變革。

《超越能源–食物–水聯結》向組織展示了它們如何在改善城市化全球人口的生活質量的同時,保護維持我們所有人生活的生態系統。
