- 1. Energy, Water and Land-use Nexus in Central Asia: Proposed activities 30 June – 1 July, 2022 Tbilisi, Georgia For discussion at the 2022 GREEN Action Task Force Annual Meeting Tbilisi, Georgia
- 2. Overview • Other development co- operation partners • Private sector • Academia • Civil society organisations
- 3. 1. Mainstream the nexus principles into development planning 2. Expand evidence base on benefits of cross-sectoral cooperation between energy, water and land use (or “Nexus”) 3. Design a financing mechanism to promote Nexus investments 4. Develop practical tools and instruments to support decision makers for enhanced cross-sectoral and transboundary cooperation 5. Organise regional political and technical dialogue and facilitate capacity development Overall objectives
- 4. Activities proposed mainly for the period 2023-2024
- 5. ENHANCED EVIDENCE BASE • “Nexus Hotspot Analysis” that: • maps where current and future climate and natural resource security risks exist; • identifies opportunities and key areas of action to address the risks; • shows how cross-sectoral cooperation could promote such action •Regional database on climate, water and energy related information •Assessment of Inter-sectoral governance on nexus planning
- 6. PRACTICAL TOOLS AND GUIDES •Modelling framework for quantifying benefits of co-operation on energy, water & land-use nexus •Scoping • Handbook on financing for Nature based Solutions through a nexus lens •“Nexus Mainstreaming Toolkit” to integrate nexus into ministries’ day-to-day work and mandates •Recommendations on a regional water-energy exchange mechanism
- 7. Financing for the Nexus •Regional Nexus Financing Mechanism •Pilot investments in businesses/projects with a nexus focus (IKI grant + EBRD lending) •With scale-up and regional replication potential •Learning lessons and insights from pilot projects to inform policy discussion on energy, water and land-use nexus financing •To be led by EBRD/FAO
- 8. POLITICAL AND TECHNICAL DIALOGUES CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT • Regional policy dialogues: Regional political process driven through UN Special Programme for the Economies of Central Asia (SPECA) • National and/or bilateral multi-stakeholder policy dialogues: through the National Policy Dialogues (NDPs), strengthening the link to energy. • Regional thematic conferences (e.g. on Nature-based Solutions, renewable energy development, finance and investment for nexus approach, etc.) • Targeted capacity development Trainings, events, educational material
- 9. STRATEGIC POLICY DOCUMENTS on the nexus • Regional strategy and National policy packages: Proposals for policy actions • Developed through the national and regional policy dialogues • Will reflect the challenges and opportunities emerging from different analytical activities under the Project • To be led by UNECE

Editor's Notes
- We are now starting a new project on the energy-water-land use nexus to achieve resource security in Central Asia in the face of climate change. UNECE, EBRD, FAO, “Scientific Information Center of Inter-state Commission for Water Coordination” and the OECD are the project partners. We developed a project concept back in 2019. Our idea was to try and operationalise discussions in this area, giving practitioners and decision makers evidence and tools to support change. We will work with both ministries of economy/foreign affairs and sectoral ministries. We will closely work within the partners and with broader actors in the region (USAID, CAREC, ADB, WB, other UN agencies, and so on.) We would also like to link the project to Green Central Asia initiative, which has a focus on regional security and is developing work packages on climate
