８５７：Nexus最新情報

08年12月ごろだったか、本ブログの４５号でNexusを取り上げた。

そのNexusについて最新の情報を頂いた。

環境倫理、水政策、気候変動が次世代のNexusという論文からだ。環境倫理ねえ、土木屋さんにはついて行けないかな。

A 'nexus' is defined as "the bond, link, or tie existing between members of a group or series". The term captures the interactive effects that characterize the process of development, as in the "population, agriculture, and environment nexus in Sub-Saharan Africa" (Cleaver and Schreiber, 1994). A recent Google search shows many development applications: 'The Trade-Development Nexus', 'The Security-Development Nexus', 'The Migration-Development Nexus', 'The Trade-Migration-Development Nexus', and 'The Climate Change and Rural Development Nexus'. South Africa’s Minister for Water and Environment, Buyelwa Sonjica, refers to "the water, energy and climate change nexus" in her blog post for World Water Day in 2010. She notes, "if the sector is to respond effectively to the water, development and the climate change challenge, it must promote natural systems resilience, increase infrastructural capacity, improve water governance and improve institutional adaptive capacity".

さて、nexusも段々IWRMと同じ運命になるかな？
