This open access book considers a water, energy, food (WEF) nexus approach in the Pacific. The region comprises seventeen sovereign countries and seven territories spread across the Pacific Ocean, a blue expanse that covers a fifth of the world's surface area but contains only 44.5 million people. The uniqueness of the Pacific and a need for a Pasifika-led approach to address today's challenges requires this Blue Continent to be considered in a separate volume under the 'Water Security in a New World' series. This volume is focussed on water, energy and food security in Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PICTs) and the challenges faced from the impacts of anthropogenic climate change and human population pressures. The diversity of culture, traditional knowledge, and ways of life across the Pacific are united by similar geographies and opportunities to apply a 'Pacific specific' WEF nexus approach. The WEF nexus offers a coordinated approach to managing water, energy and food that is centred on active decision making and management across sectors to increase the security of each. Importantly, a WEF nexus approach builds on the National and International efforts to date in the Pacific through IWRM, Ridge to Reef, Source to Sea, UNESCO Biosphere Reserves, Integrated Coastal Zone Management, and similar, approaches. This book describes water security and its intersectionality each with the energy and food sectors, highlighting the significance of both land and marine food systems and connectivity between water and energy in a Pacific context. It is shown that these systems cannot be separated from challenges associated with heathy environments and functioning ecological services, transport, and waste that are unique to the vast archipelagic region. Developing solutions that are cognizant of the world's colonial past and the global inequalities that persist today is essential for meaningful change. The path forward for water and food systems is one that is Pasifika-led and builds on traditional knowledge and capacity. National energy demands must look to the future and implement both WEF-integrated and new technologies to hasten energy transition away from fossil fuels. Globally, historical and current major greenhouse gas emitters need to step up for the environmental and economic benefit of all, including themselves. This book is a highly recommended source of information and inspiration for policy makers, decision makers, research communities and practitioners dealing with any aspect of water, energy, and food security in the Pacific.
