Assessing circularity of multi-sectoral systems under the Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystems (WEFE) nexus
Updated on 20.04.2023
The Multi-Sectoral Water Circularity Assessment (MSWCA) is a methodological framework developed for circularity assessment of the Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystems nexus. It involves five methodological steps and includes an indicators list for the selection of case-specific indicators. This study expands the MSWCA to provide a systematic approach for selecting indicators, considering system's circular actions and multi-functionality, the capture of implemented changes, the three circular economy principles and the sustainable development goals.
