Consolidation of the United Nations Agenda for Sustainable Development and ambitious directives by the European Commission have put the European Union up for a challenge: the EU needs to reconcile its food and energy security goals with goals of climate adaptation and sustainable and efficient use of water and land resources. Tackling this challenge requires that measures are taken in several sectors or policy domains (food, energy, climate, water, land). However, measures taken in one domain have implications across other domains. These interlinkages in the so-called “nexus” complicate the development of coherent and effective policy. The purpose of the game is to experience the challenges and solutions for member states – as part of a larger economic block – to achieve food and energy security within safe environmental boundaries. The game conveys the main trade-offs and synergies in the nexus using a quantitative framework of relations between the nexus elements based on environmental footprint indicators.
