The call for extended abstracts aims to create vertical and horizontal linkages between the research and practice stakeholders in the priority areas below. Fundamentally, the forum provides researchers and practitioners in civil society, private sector and public institutions an opportunity to feed into each other’s value chain where practice informs new knowledge and research informs change at various societal and institutional levels. The main topics of the extended abstract should fit within the following areas which are in line with ongoing projects and priorities of the research agenda at PAUWES as contribution to the Agenda 2063 of the African union: Energy • Energy resources assessment • Technological development: renewable energy and raw materials to systems, including smart-grid and off-grid • Energy stakeholders and civil society • Energy security, economics, and governance • Current and future urban energy supply systems in African cities Water • Water and food security (production and sustainable livelihoods) • Water management (basin water management and urban water management) • Water and environment (water related hazard, health, etc.) • Water economics and governance (policy, education, planning, economy, cultural, etc.) • Trans-boundary water and resources management (conflict or cooperation, etc.) • Current and future urban water supply systems in African cities Climate Change • Climate impact modelling (data and appropriated infrastructure, prediction models and services) • Risk, vulnerability and impact assessment (environmental sustainability of renewable energy projects, etc.) • Adaptation and mitigation strategies to climate change security in Africa • Risk assessment and reduction strategies for sustainable urban resources supply in Sub-Saharan African cities • Mitigation research Energy, Water, Climate Change Nexus • Water-Climate nexus • Energy-Climate nexus • Water-Energy nexus • Energy, water, food security and climate change nexus
