RESEARCH PROJECT ABSTRACT Understanding the interconnectedness between water, energy, food, and health (WEFH) systems and the interdependence of the challenges to each of these systems at different scales is crucial to achieving sustainable development and promoting the well-being of individuals and communities. Despite growing evidence of the tight interconnectedness of WEFH, little coordination exists for planning, financing, and governing these sectors. This project will lead to the development of a dynamic decision support tool for the WEFH system of systems to catalyze a dialogue between these sectors to prioritize interventions. This will guide evidence-based actions to improve community health resilience under growing adverse climatic, demographic, and geopolitical changes. The strain on society for limited access to safe, adequate water is a major problem in Jordan, and the impact of climate change is a contributing factor to increased water salinity, lead to further water scarcity and related adverse health outcomes. The initial research project proposed as part of the planning for the proposed Global Climate Change Center on Water, Energy, Food, and Health (GC3WEFH) will explore the use of a systems-level approach for the development of a decision-making software tool. This WEFH tool will then be applied to assess interventions in the community in terms of their impact in the context of the WEFH system. We hypothesize that Decreasing diseases frequencies as an indication of community resilience can be achieved by evidence-based, system-level interventions across water, energy, food, and health systems. An initial exploration of one such intervention will be to put health at the center of the WEFH nexus through the increase in access to higher quality water in climate-vulnerable communities. The conceptual framework for this nexus will be investigated and answered through interactions with community stakeholders followed by the development of a user-friendly quantitative scenario-analysis tool for stakeholder use, implementation of technological and behavioral interventions, and then evaluation of outcomes, advantages, and opportunities for future applications based on the results. The WEFH tool will create opportunities for dialogue and synergies between WEFH disciplines that currently do not exist. The success of this project will provide the proposed center with the foundational tools needed for future research efforts to address not only access to safe water for drinking and cooking in Jordan, but also to develop other climate-change interventions at the WEFH nexus using evidence-based approaches that can be scaled up across the region and globally. 1

研究项目摘要 了解水，能源，食物和健康（WEFH）系统与 在不同尺度上挑战对每个系统的挑战的相互依存对于实现可持续性至关重要 发展和促进个人和社区的福祉。尽管有越来越紧张的证据 WEFH的相互联系，几乎没有协调来计划，融资和管理这些部门。这 项目将导致为WEFH系统系统开发动态决策支持工具 催化这些部门之间的对话，以优先考虑干预措施。这将指导基于证据的行动 在不利的气候，人口统计和地缘政治变化下，改善社区健康的复原力。 在约旦的社会有限获取安全，充足水的社会压力是一个主要问题，以及 气候变化是导致水盐度增加的因素，导致进一步的水稀缺性和相关因素 不利的健康结果。 最初的研究项目是针对拟议的全球气候变化中心计划的一部分 水，能源，食物和健康（GC3WEFH）将探索使用系统级别的方法 开发决策软件工具。然后将应用此WEFH工具来评估干预措施 社区在WEFH系统的背景下的影响方面。我们假设减少 疾病的频率是社区弹性的指示，可以通过循证，系统级别来实现 跨水，能源，食物和卫生系统的干预措施。对一个这样的干预的初步探索将 通过增加获得更高质量水的机会，将健康放在WEFH Nexus的中心 气候可变社区。该联系的概念框架将得到调查和回答 通过与社区利益相关者的互动，然后开发对用户友好的定量 利益相关者使用的方案 - 分析工具，技术和行为干预的实施以及 然后根据结果评估未来应用的结果，优势和机会。 WEFH工具将为对话和协同效应的WEFH学科创造机会 不存在。该项目的成功将为拟议中心提供所需的基础工具 未来的研究工作，不仅要解决约旦获得安全水的安全水，还可以解决 使用基于证据的方法在WEFH Nexus上开发其他气候变化干预措施 在整个地区和全球范围内扩展。 1
