27 Mar 2023 — Scientists have developed the C-FEWS (Climate-induced extremes on Food, Energy and Water Systems) framework, a toolkit for farmers as climate change threatens the current food, energy and water system, presenting a set of analytical tools to forecast catastrophes and the needed measures to respond.
“It’s not hard to see that there are intersections between food, energy and water that could create some pinch points or constraints in the behavior of one part of the system versus another,” says Charles Vörösmarty, lead author and professor of environmental sciences at the City University of New York, US.
