The Nexus Approach to Governance of Environmental Resources Considering Global Change - Governing the Nexus: Water, Soil and Waste Resources Considering Global Change - page 12

intersectionality, interactionality and hybridity will be discussed in outlining the
challenges of implementing the nexus approach to management of environmental
resources

— water, soil and waste. Chapters 4 , 5 and 6 will elaborate upon issues

relating to financing of infrastructure projects. Questions of accountability and

autonomy will be discussed in the context of discourses of decentralization and
deregulation. Concepts relating to central transfers, taxes and tariffs and potential
applications of results-based financing approaches in supporting sustainable service

delivery will be examined. Chapters 7 , 8 and 9 will discuss strategies for imple-
mentation by focusing on European experience with application of life-cycle cost
analysis in water and wastewater projects, use of an agroecology framework to
support wastewater reuse in agriculture and applications of data visualization
techniques for evidence-based decision-making.
