A Water-Energy-Food Nexus Approach to Resilience Building presents a case study of UN-Habitat Myanmar’s integrated management of water, energy, and food resources, focusing on sustainable development and community resilience amid climate change and socio-political challenges. Led by UN-Habitat under the Myanmar Climate Change Alliance Phase 2 Programme (MCCA2), the publication highlights interventions such as solar-powered water supply systems, rainwater harvesting tanks, and climate-smart agriculture training implemented across eight vulnerable townships. These community-driven initiatives improve access to clean water and sustainable energy while enhancing food security and economic opportunities in underserved areas.

Through impactful case studies—like the solar pumping station in Taung Gyi and the Standalone Water Supply System in South Dagon—the publication demonstrates how local participation, technical training, and renewable technologies empower communities. It emphasizes key lessons, including the important role of youth in driving innovation and the need for household-level interventions, and it offers practical recommendations to scale integrated climate resilience efforts nationwide.
