The interaction between water, energy, and food as the water–energy–food (WEF) nexus has drawn much attention recently to solve upcoming uncertainty in food security. The aim of this study is to investigate the status of the WEF nexus in European countries. It is indicated that the largest nexus studies (among 27 European countries) have been conducted in Spain and Italy. It is confirmed that there is a large number of nexus studies in water-stressed countries while there are few studies on water-abundant countries (Slovakia and Luxembourg). Based on existing research, the majority of nexus studies focused on energy production. It is highlighted that most of the nexus studies were focused on water quantity aspects (rarely related to quality aspects) and energy; however, other resources including land, climate, ecosystem, soil, and environment received little attention. The migration of people as a result of climate change in the WEF nexus is not considered. Moreover, there is a lack of common and standard frameworks for nexus assessment. Therefore, we suggest a standard approach for nexus studies and produce a cross-sectoral and holistic approach for the evaluation of a water (quantity and quality)–energy–food–land–climate (WqEFLC) nexus that takes into consideration the circular economy.

“…A communication panel can facilitate integrative decision-making, as this way players can not only easily communicate about common issues, but also share their ideas. This promotes player convergence and is a particularly appreciative format in real-world situations where physical contact is limited, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic [47] or people are physically far from each other. The game is divided into several rounds, which are separated from each other with the help of the "READY" function -after pressing it, the participants immediately see the results of their decisions and, using the "COMMUNITY" functional button, see the collective effect of the decisions made by all players on the achievement of the common goal.…”

Energy communities are widely studied from various perspectives, especially in the context of geopolitical events of recent years, when humanity is faced with the need for urgent solutions to promote climate change and alleviate the crisis of energy resources. Although citizens' interest in the use of renewable resources has gradually grown, energy policy support measures for more active participation of society in the implementation of energy efficiency measures are still being implemented with variable success, especially through mutual agreement. Serious games are a rapidly growing tool for awareness and collaboration on a single platform for gamers seeking solutions to energy resource optimization issues. The paper focuses on energy community versus energy use practices, trends, and intervention strategies in multifamily residential blocks, using serious gaming and direct user online feedback. This study uses a multi-player simulation tool to enable the modelling of scenarios for energy efficiency measures for apartment building block residents and energy community target goals for decision-making decisions. User experience and game mechanics were tested on a pre-selected group. The results indicate positive feedback, including a practical application for both energy community and professionals, and provide valuable recommendations for further research and improvement of the tool.

É necessário promover o ensino de sustentabilidade e Educação Ambiental em todos os níveis de ensino. Neste sentido, os jogos educacionais, como serious games, abordam questões ambientais de forma lúdica e interativa, promovendo inclusive mudanças comportamentais, aprendizado e engajamento dos alunos. Este artigo é um ensaio teórico que abrange temas como sustentabilidade, Educação Ambiental, desafios de aprendizagem dos nativos digitais e serious games. A revisão destaca a contribuição dos serious game na Educação Ambiental para promover a sustentabilidade. Os estudos demonstraram como os jogos podem ser trabalhados, incluindo o uso de tecnologias educacionais para promover melhorias no ensino.
