Summary
In our full paper we intend to address issues of climate/water stress, sovereignty, participatory planning, impacts on and leadership by women of the Global South, Amartya Sen's work, transport, distribution etc. Chatham House staff in London are among those looking at economic and diplomatic aspects of potential freight choke points in nexus shock scenarios (i.e. the food- energy-transport nexus, as defined by the Global Sustainability Institute, UK.).
Abstract
Our goal is to support preparedness work, response planning and assessments of convertible/re-deployable capacity which would support national and regional DRR networks to save many lives in the event of any global catastrophic risk which affects multiple breadbaskets. (SDG target 11.5) Our particular concern is scenarios affecting populous developing nations, or scenarios where WFP and other major relief agencies were unable to source serious quantities of any staples at all from exporting nations or on open markets for a period of 2-24 months. (SDG target 13.1 resilience and adaptive capacity).
