The collaborative research project combines the qualitative and quantitative research capabilities of the University of Cambridge, the Universidade do Sul de Santa Catarina, and the Pontificia Universidade Catolica de Sao Paulo to analyse the linkages between energy, food and water consumption for Brazil, in the context of climate change mitigation strategies.This project concerns developing a mid- to long-term research programme for the study of technically and legally feasible configurations of the Brazilian energy and agriculture sector in close collaboration between the UK and Brazilian partners. This project will revolve around the use of the technology and decision diffusion model methodology Future Technology Transformations (FTT), under development in Cambridge by a team of 4 researchers led Dr. J.-F. Mercure, along with the global macroeconometric model E3ME (www.e3me.com). This capacity will be linked to an internationally leading research team headed by Prof. Vinuales on political and legal analysis of energy and sustainable development policy. Among subjects of interest will be freshwater and land use changes in relation to the energy and agricultural sectors, using both the FTT modules for the energy and agricultural sectors (FTT:Power, FTT:Agriculture). The targeted analysis will include local and international food demand, trade, as well as changes in employment generated by the development of low-carbon innovations and the diffusion of new technology in both the energy and agriculture sectors. While FTT is operated by the University of Cambridge, E3ME is maintained, operated and developed by Cambridge Econometrics Ltd, who will be in charge of training the Brazilian researchers in the use of the platform E3ME-FTT.Through detailed analysis of the legal and governance contexts and their cross-sectoral impacts, the project will examine actual and prospective mitigation policies for Brazil, facilitated through close collaboration with local experts, most notably from the PUC-SP, with insights into the local challenges and opportunities. The active collaboration and the development of local analysis capabilities will provide support for capacity-building and knowledge-sharing. Enhanced understanding of the interactions between environmental and societal actions in analysed policies for Brazil could strengthen the generic basis for integration of climate action in the broader development agenda of the country.A significant part of this networking project aims at building new research capacity, through the exchange of computational tools and training, to researchers from Universidade do Sul de Santa Catarina and Pontificia Universidade Catolica de Sao Paulo, who are actively involved in engaging local policy-makers. They will learn how to use the computational platforms E3ME-FTT developed in Cambridge to study specific locally relevant issues of energy, food and water linkages for Brazil, and help devise insight relevant for policy-making. Meanwhile, the Brazilian partners will provide invaluable contextual knowledge on locally relevant issues such that the research has relevance for policy-making, which could impact livelihoods in rural areas and low-income communities.The activities of this networking project can be divided into six main categories:(1.) Coordination Meetings (2.) International Conference (3.) Training (4.) Publications (5.) Network (6.) Public AwarenessThe expected result of this networking project is to design a strong and coherent consortium of researchers covering all relevant aspects of the Energy-Water-Food nexus in the context of climate change mitigation policy in Brazil: sustainable development (economics, energy, agriculture) modelling and case studies, environmental policy and law, and a strong connection to networks in Brazil in order to ensure sustained impact.

合作研究项目结合了剑桥大学，圣卡托里纳大学的定性和定量研究能力，以及庞蒂尼亚大学Catolica de Sao Paulo大学，分析能源，食品和水消耗之间的能源和水消耗之间的联系。英国与巴西合作伙伴之间密切合​​作的巴西能源和农业部门的配置。该项目将围绕着技术和决策扩散模型方法的使用未来技术转型（FTT），由4名研究人员组成的团队在剑桥开发，负责J.-Fr. Mercure，以及全球宏观计型E3ME（www.e3me.com）。这种能力将与由Vinuales教授领导的国际领先的研究团队有关，以对能源和可持续发展政策进行政治和法律分析。感兴趣的主题将是淡水和土地利用与能源和农业部门有关的变化，使用两个FTT模块用于能源和农业部门（FTT：Power，Power，FTT：FTT：农业）。有针对性的分析将包括当地和国际粮食需求，贸易以及低碳创新的发展产生的就业变化以及在能源和农业领域的扩散。虽然FTT由剑桥大学经营，但E3ME由Cambridge Conatemetrics Ltd维护，运营和开发，他们将负责培训巴西研究人员的使用平台E3Me-ftt。通过详细的法律和治理环境对BRAX的详细分析将对BRAX进行详细的分析，并将其跨越的近距离效应，并将其构成实际效果。专家，最著名的是来自PUC-SP，对当地挑战和机遇有所了解。积极的合作以及本地分析能力的发展将为能力建设和知识共享提供支持。 Enhanced understanding of the interactions between environmental and societal actions in analysed policies for Brazil could strengthen the generic basis for integration of climate action in the broader development agenda of the country.A significant part of this networking project aims at building new research capacity, through the exchange of computational tools and training, to researchers from Universidade do Sul de Santa Catarina and Pontificia Universidade Catolica de Sao Paulo, who are actively involved in engaging地方决策者。他们将学习如何使用在剑桥开发的计算平台E3ME-FTT来研究巴西的特定本地相关问题，食物和水联系的特定问题，并帮助设计与政策制定相关的见解。同时，巴西合作伙伴将在本地相关问题上提供无价的上下文知识，以使研究与决策相关，这可能会影响农村地区和低收入社区的生计，该网络项目的活动可以分为六个主要类别。是为了设计一个强大而连贯的研究人员联盟，涵盖了巴西气候变化缓解政策的背景下，涵盖了能量水域的所有相关方面：可持续发展（经济学，能源，农业）建模，案例研究，环境政策和法律，以及与巴西网络的紧密联系，以确保维持影响。
