The Nexus Game

From this perspective participants may brainstorm and collaborate to creatively form and verify a number of policies. As they try to meet the growing water demands, they still have to remember about ecological and economical balance within and across the borders.

The game will allow you to experience the challenges of navigating complex systems with multiple stakeholders, to discover the potential of innovative technologies for enhancing water and energy efficiency, and to practice collaboration among diverse organizations with differing goals.

The Nexus Game was introduced in the Central Asian region in 2018 within the framework of the European Union project “Nexus Dialogue in Central Asia” implemented by the Regional Environmental Centre for Central Asia (CAREC), with funding from the US Agency for International Development (USAID).

The Nexus Game was developed by the Centre for Systems Solutions in collaboration with the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, based in Austria, Vienna and the “Sustainable Energy for All” Initiative, independent organization, hosted by The United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS).

Facilitatated by Ms Marhabo Yodalieva, Capacity Development and Education Lead at USAID Central Asia’s Regional Water and Vulnerable Environment Activity and Ms Zamira Zholdaskyzy, Coordinator for the development of the Community of practice and the Network of Academic Societies at the Regional Environmental Centre for Central Asia (CAREC).
