ABSTRACT Unlocking the power of ecosystem services reveals how their integration can drive meaningful economic sustainability and shape future development strategies. This study takes a multifaceted approach to explore relationship between (ES) sustainability, employing rigorous quantitative research design. Data were gathered from 147 business leaders, 111 government officials, 150 environmental researchers using purposive sampling, with subsequent analysis conducted via SPSS software. The results revealed significant positive correlation value ES indicators at both regional national levels. Policy interventions that focus on enhancing valuation found lead improved outcomes long‐term sustainability. Furthermore, stakeholder collaboration emerged as crucial factor in boosting effectiveness management practices. Economic sectors are heavily reliant demonstrated greater resilience adaptability changes compared those limited reliance. Moreover, into decision‐making processes was shown foster more informed sustainable novelty this lies its comprehensive approach, which integrates data analysis, policy evaluation, perspectives, sector‐specific assessments provide holistic understanding complex interplay ecological conservation prosperity. These findings underscore critical role emphasizing importance strategic frameworks for development.

The swift growth of cities worldwide poses significant challenges in ensuring a sufficient water, energy, and food supply. Nexus has innovated valuable systems to address these challenges. However, crucial issue is the potential for pollution resulting from systems, which directly indirectly impacts public health overall quality urban living. This study comprehensively reviews interconnected water-energy-food (WEF) nexus various forms cities. primary focus this review article showcase findings WEF studies regarding pollutions across different geographical regions spatial scales. It aims examine problems pollutions, specifically their effects on human life. also delves into sources as identified studies. Furthermore, will highlight proposed solutions research aimed at effectively mitigating each sector studied. systematic analyses Scopus database. extensively reviewed 2463 peer-reviewed published articles focused explicitly related that discussed pollution.

Droughts can affect a multitude of public and private sectors, with impacts developing slowly over time. While droughts are traditionally quantified in relation to the hydrological components water cycle that they affect, this manuscript demonstrates novel approach assess future drought conditions through lens water-energy-food-ecosystem (WEFE) nexus concept. To end, set standardized indices specifically designed represent different sectors across 50 catchments Sweden was computed based on an ensemble past climate model simulations.
