Abstract

This chapter considers in detail the water-energy-food (WEF) nexus in South and Southeast Asia and provides an overview on how a multisectoral approach could be adopted as a rallying point for sustainable development. Using published literature, this study compiles the lessons learned in addressing resources security and critically reviews important WEF factors in each region. Diving deeper within Southeast Asia, a case study of WEF nexus in Malaysia is presented, where valuable sectoral and intersectoral key issues are highlighted. A qualitative deliberation on the WEF links in Malaysia is discussed before putting forward the WEF opportunities and challenges in this country.
