Many cities across the globe are facing difficult challenges managing their food, water and energy systems. The challenges stem from the fact that the issues of food, water and energy are often tightly connected with each other, not only locally but also globally. This is known as the Food-Water-Energy (FWE) nexus. An effective solution to a local water problem may cause new local problems with food or energy, or cause new water problems at the global level. On a local scale, it is difficult to anticipate whether solutions to one issue in the nexus are sustainable across food, water and energy systems, both at the local and the global scale. Innovative solutions that encompass the nexus are particularly important to enable cities to better manage their food, water and energy systems and understand the benefits and tradeoffs for different solutions. This award supports U.S. researchers participating in a project competitively selected by a 29-country initiative through the joint Belmont Forum- Joint Programming Initiative (JPI) Urban Europe. The Sustainable Urbanization Global Initiative (SUGI)/Food-Water-Energy Nexus is a multilateral initiative designed to support research projects that bring together the fragmented research and expertise across the globe to find innovative solutions to the Food-Water-Energy Nexus challenge. The call seeks to develop more resilient, applied urban solutions to benefit a much wider range of stakeholders. The rapid urbanization of the world's population underscores the importance of this focus. International partners were invited to develop solutions for this challenge. The funds requested will be used to support U.S. participants to cooperate in consortia that consist of partners from at least three of the participating countries and that bring together natural scientists, social scientists and research users (e.g., civil society, NGOs, and industry). Participants from other countries are funded through their national funding organizations. This project seeks to develop a shared urban data and modeling framework to help cities analyze and characterize FWE systems and nexus interrelationships. The framework will utilize a common urban 3D data model that will be shaped by urban stakeholder requirements and be applicable to regions and cities in Europe and the United States. This framework will help stakeholders identify, quantify and visualize cross-sectoral and cross-media impacts to FWE systems from various decisions -- from urban development strategies to FEW infrastructure investments. The results will provide data that can help cities across the globe sustainably provide energy, water and food supplies under healthy and economically productive conditions.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

地球仪上的许多城市都面临着管理食物、水和能源系统的艰巨挑战。这些挑战源于这样一个事实，即粮食、水和能源问题不仅在地方上而且在全球范围内往往彼此密切相关。这就是所谓的食物-水-能源（FWE）关系。 一个地方水问题的有效解决方案可能会引起新的地方性粮食或能源问题，或在全球范围内引起新的水问题。在地方一级，很难预测在地方和全球一级，对这一关系中的一个问题的解决办法是否可持续地贯穿整个粮食、水和能源系统。 包含这一关系的创新解决方案对于使城市能够更好地管理其粮食、水和能源系统以及了解不同解决方案的利弊尤为重要。 该奖项支持美国研究人员参与一个由29个国家倡议通过联合贝尔蒙特论坛-联合规划倡议（JPI）城市欧洲竞争性选择的项目。 可持续城市化全球倡议/粮食-水-能源关系是一项多边倡议，旨在支持研究项目，汇集地球仪各地分散的研究和专门知识，为粮食-水-能源关系挑战找到创新解决方案。 该呼吁旨在制定更具弹性的实用城市解决方案，以使更广泛的利益攸关方受益。世界人口的迅速城市化突出了这一重点的重要性。邀请国际伙伴为这一挑战制定解决方案。 申请的资金将用于支持美国参与者在由至少三个参与国的合作伙伴组成的财团中进行合作，并将自然科学家，社会科学家和研究用户（例如，民间社会、非政府组织和行业）。 来自其他国家的参与者通过其国家供资组织获得资助。该项目旨在开发一个共享的城市数据和建模框架，以帮助城市分析和表征FWE系统和关系。 该框架将利用一个共同的城市三维数据模型，该模型将根据城市利益相关者的要求进行塑造，并适用于欧洲和美国的地区和城市。 这一框架将帮助利益攸关方确定、量化和形象化各种决策对FWE系统的跨部门和跨媒体影响-从城市发展战略到少数基础设施投资。 该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
