While young people globally have been less affected by COVID-19 health outcomes than older age groups, their livelihoods, shelter, and education have been significantly impacted by COVID-19 preventive and containment policies. The adaptive capacity of young people and their families to respond to the disruptions triggered by the pandemic and the associated policy responses significantly m…
This project builds on a current FAPESP project ResNexus (Resilience and vulnerability at the urban Nexus) to (a) quantify the espaciotemporal relations ships between urbanization and health, epidemiological transition in peri-urban-communities of low socio-economic. Urbanization has serious consequences for population is now living in cities, which are increase singly, faced with the tri…
The provisioning of food, water and energy services in urban areas involves infrastructures and resource flows which are heavily dependent on each other and on the natural environment. We conceptualize this interdependence as the urban Nexus. The project investigates how the social and ecological trade-offs associated with the Nexus interact with existing relations of power in maintaining…
Environmental and health problems gain character, magnitude and unpredictability in large cities, as they often do not offer adequate responses even understanding of driven forces and possible actions against the poor knowledge and articulation of the metropolitan unit with its components the municipalities. Thus, two main challenges come together in this project to develop indicators of …
This work plan refers to the main objectives of the PANEX-YOUTH project, consisting of a proposal for a post-doctoral fellow to dedicate herself to leading field research activities, data collection and analysis. We focus on young people, who are not the group most affected by the disease caused by COVID-19, but represent a group strongly compromised by the disorders associated with the p…
In the context of global environmental change, the water-energy-food nexus approach has been gaining significant importance in international natural resource policy debates and integrative governance. However, the challenge of achieving policy coherence, decentralized and integrated decision-making is particularly complex in the context of the nexus, which considers three sectors with dif…
In the context of climate change challenges the provision and interdependence of water, energy and food services (urban nexus) for cities involve different actors in a process of governance and public policy formulation. This project seeks to understand how public policies can promote synergies between different sectors towards the urban nexus in metropolitan regions. The main hypothesis …

Biofuels production presents several challenges within the Water-Energy-Food (WEF) nexus at the local and global scales. The worldwide interest towards energy transitions to renewable sources, and global energy prices can lead to an increasing demand for bioenergy crops, thereby intensifying the competition for arable land and water with food crops. There may be potential net welfare bene…
Beyond the hegemonic production there is a broad variety of knowledge associated with social practices and problem-solving. These much different forms of knowledge are legitimate by the daily life interacting with adver-sities and scarcities, as well as constituting primary determinants in imbricated causal associations to several critic problems as those related to health, environment, a…
The rationality of the water, energy and food nexus encompasses an articulation of values, conflicting most of the time, which happens in specifics spaces and temporalities, and bring uncertainties. This BEPE project aims to discuss how this rationality can be feasible in urban governance in Brazilian metropolitan contexts, considering challenges and opportunities related to mutual unders…
