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、食品和健康 (WEFH) 系统之间的相互联系 这些系统在不同规模上面临的挑战的相互依存性对于实现可持续发展至关重要 发展并促进个人和社区的福祉。尽管越来越多的证据表明收紧 由于 WEFH 的相互关联性，这些部门的规划、融资和管理方面几乎没有协调。这 该项目将导致为 WEFH 系统开发动态决策支持工具，以 促进这些部门之间的对话，确定干预措施的优先顺序。这将指导基于证据的行动 在日益不利的气候、人口和地缘政治变化下提高社区健康复原力。 社会因获得安全、充足的水而面临的压力是约旦的一个主要问题， 气候变化是导致水盐度增加的一个因素，导致进一步的水资源短缺和相关问题 不良的健康结果。 作为拟议的全球气候变化中心规划的一部分提出的初步研究项目 水、能源、食品和健康 (GC3WEFH) 将探索使用系统级方法来实现 开发决策软件工具。然后，该 WEFH 工具将用于评估干预措施 社区在 WEFH 系统中的影响力。我们假设递减 疾病频率作为社区复原力的指标可以通过基于证据的系统级来实现 跨水、能源、食品和卫生系统的干预措施。对此类干预措施的初步探索将 通过增加获得更高质量水的机会，将健康置于 WEFH 关系的中心 气候脆弱社区。这种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，然后开发用户友好的定量 供利益相关者使用的情景分析工具，实施技术和行为干预措施，以及 然后根据结果评估结果、优势和未来应用的机会。 WEFH 工具将为目前正在开展的 WEFH 学科之间的对话和协同创造机会 不存在。该项目的成功将为拟议的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饮用水和烹饪用水的问题，还要解决 使用基于证据的方法在 WEFH 关系中制定其他气候变化干预措施 并在整个地区和全球范围内扩大规模。 1
