Abstract:

The resource nexus originates in the interconnections between different resources, for example from the requirement of one resource as an input to produce another or from the substitutability of two or more resources. Actions taken by governments, firms or communities affecting one resource often have consequences for other resources, in the same locale or on the other side of the world. These consequences often take the form of scarcity, environmental degradation or destruction of livelihoods.  Attempts to govern the resource nexus more effectively are constrained by the low awareness among the public and policy-makers, persistent over-consumption in western societies, the inflexibility and inadequacy of many existing institutions, and by the ‘stove-piped’ structure of the institutional landscape and of the policy debates that are too often focused on single resources rather than on resource interconnections. One striking example of the resource nexus in China relates to the overuse of nitrogen fertilizers.
