NEXUS Gains

Trade-off analyses and foresight methodologies

The CGIAR Initiative on NEXUS Gains supports planners, policymakers and public/private investors with customized foresight and trade-off analysis tools to plan, prioritize, assess, and scale-up sustainable interventions across water, energy, food, and ecosystems. Researchers are collaborating to develop tools to manage biodiversity outcomes at basin and country scales by developing and scaling up an environmental flow assessment tool combined with integrated basin modelling and an Agrobiodiversity Index.
