The International Stakeholder Workshop on the Water-Energy-Food-Environment Nexus in the Aral Sea basin was organized and held by the IWMI country office in Uzbekistan jointly with CGIAR Research Centers as part of the NEXUS Gains Initiative in the Aral Sea basin on 14 November in Tashkent.
The NEXUS Gains Initiative works at the critical intersection of food, energy and water security, while preserving the ecosystems that underpin food systems in selected transboundary river basins.
The workshop was attended by the experts from ministries and agencies, research institutes, as well as international organizations, such as SIC ICWC, CGIAR, IWMI, IFPRI, ICARDA, Alliance Biodiversity & CIAT, GIZ, etc.
This workshop provided a platform for the exchange of experiences from different disciplines on the NEXUS approach as a possible option to mitigate water stress caused by climate change, population growth, economic development and urbanization.
SIC ICWC Director, Dinara Ziganshina delivered a message at the opening ceremony.
On the sides of the workshop, IWMI and the University of Manchester granted the SIC ICWC a certificate for the PyWR model for the Chirchik River Basin.
