Abstract

As deeply interlinked challenges to water, energy, and food security appear poised to accelerate in the coming decades, interest has grown in landscape-based approaches to manage water–energy–food (W–E–F) nexus risks and trade-offs. Both engineered and “natural infrastructure” approaches are needed to increase productivity and resilience in W–E–F systems and to meet pressures of a growing global population and changing climate. However, to date little information exists about the use of nature-based solutions globally, the scale of present investment, funders' motives, or observed results.
