It is clear that having access to safe and adequate water supply, reliable energy source and improved food security are the bottom line for any development endeavor. These three sectors are so interlinked and complex that critical and in-depth analyses need to be done.

The core of the matter is that we should avoid costly trade-offs and bad investments, protect the public from unintended side effects of uninformed decisions, use the opportunities properly, and can make the synergy of the three sectors more balanced and sustainable. However, developing methodologies and analytical tools for assessing impacts that emerge from decisions taken in the area of water, food, energy and ecosystems are more challenging.
