Perspectives on integrated water resource management and its relevance in understanding the water-energy-climate change nexus in South Africa

Abstract: It is increasingly acknowledged that the water-energy-climate change (WECC) nexus is one of the synergies that pose a significant risk to achievement of sustainable development goals (SDGs), specifically numbers six, seven and thirteen. There are suggestions that climate change outcomes such as increased temperature and drought episodes have implications for water availability, which in turn affects energy production in countries dependent on hydropower, pump-storage or coal-generated electricity, including So… Show more

“…Despite the constitutional mandate requiring that key actors, such as government departments, local communities, industry, experts and researchers, are consulted to ensure meaningful, well-informed and effective policy instruments within the water, energy and climate change sectors, application of the PA appears to be lacking. The prevailing lack of coordinated and integrated approaches in the widely touted sectoral policies [12,13,11,3] demonstrates limited application of the PA in planning and implementation processes. These shortcomings suggest a lack of understanding of the interlinkages between the key socio-economic and environmental processes in the WECC nexus.…”

“…The acceleration of climate change and its impact on water and energy resources has heightened calls for a better understanding of the Water-Energy-Climate Change (WECC) nexus [1,2,3]. These calls are prompted mainly by the negative implications of the WECC nexus on attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).…”
