Despite the existence of some national initiatives targeting the availability and efficiency of food, water and energy productions, a WEFN approach is hardly existent in these countries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-21507 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.femise.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/11.png\" alt=\"WEF-Cap Policy Brief 3\" width=\"241\" height=\"341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.femise.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/11.png 491w, https:\/\/www.femise.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/11-212x300.png 212w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 241px) 100vw, 241px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">In this context, the Technology Transfer and Capitalization of Water Energy Food NEXUS (<\/span><a class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-underline text-strikethrough-none\" draggable=\"false\" href=\"https:\/\/www.enicbcmed.eu\/projects\/wef-cap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WEF-CAP<\/a><span class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">) project seized an opportunity to efficiently capitalize WEFN practices, commercialization tools and methodologies. Following the mapping and stocktaking exercises of WEF best practices in the EU-MPC region[2] and in order to better integrate stakeholders in the formulation of adequate policies for an adapted WEFN approach, a public consultation was conducted targeting multi-stakeholders in the region. The results confirmed the need to enhance public awareness about climate change and WEFN in particular, the urgent need to create adequate legal framework that ensures an integrated natural resource management, the need to enhance efficient cooperation between the different actors in the three sectors, the urgent need for financial instruments to help implement the required strategies, better regional cooperation that takes into account climate and WEFN issues and an enabling environment conducive to innovation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Third Policy Brief, which is produced as part of the series of Policy Briefs undertaken in partnership between FEMISE, RSS, ANPE, CRES, UNICT, UAB and ECITD in the WEF-CAP project, is entitled: <strong>The Technology Transfer and Capitalization of Water Energy Food NEXUS: Evaluation of WEF Nexus best practices for replication in the Mediterranean region<\/strong>\u00a0by Dr. Maryse Louis &amp; Ms. Sophie Dahdouh, FEMISE.\u00a0<strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.femise.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/WEF-Cap-PB3-1.pdf\">Download The full Policy Brief 3 in English<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0 and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.femise.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/PB2-Arabic.pdf\">Arabic<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffcc00;\"><strong>Structure<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Introduction<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><span class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">Successful national initiatives to face the WEF challenges<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><span class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">Water-Energy-Food Capitalization (WEF-CAP): A Public Consultation<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n3.1.
