讲座内容/ Abstract:

Innovation in the public sector can significantly improve the quality of public services and increase the problem-solving capacity of organizations for addressing societal challenges, particularly those new issues in the global agenda, such as climate change. Local governments have been acknowledged as key stakeholders for boosting innovation using collaborative initiatives between diverse sectors and levels. However, the mechanisms that foster the innovative capabilities in the public sector through intersectoral interactions, including international collaborations, are still under researched. This presentation will discuss the dynamics of innovation process in the local governments using the results of the Belmont Forum project “IFWEN-Understanding Innovative Initiatives for Governing Food, Water and Energy Nexus in Cities” (https://jpi-urbaneurope.eu/project/ifwen/). Innovations in the use of green and blue infrastructure in cities can improve the trade-offs between water, food and energy (FWE), the main idea behind the FWE Nexus (FWEN). The IFWEN is a transdisciplinary research project that studied cities in Asia, Africa and Latin America to develop a framework to assess innovation in FWEN using Green and Blue Infrastructure (GBI) at the urban level.
