This themed section was initiated after the 2016 Annual Conference of the Royal Geographical Society‐Institute of British Geographers, which had the overall theme of Nexus Thinking, and which included assessment of geographical dimensions of the water–energy–food (WEF) nexus. In this short editorial introduction, we outline the context for this assessment, and introduce the particular focus of the four papers that make up the section. We then show how they add to our understanding of the nexus in terms of the multiple and inter‐dependent geographical scales at which the WEF nexus can be analysed, and be the subject of governance, policy and action.

地理与水－能源－食品的关系：简介

该主题部分是在皇家地理学会英国地理学家协会2016年年会之后发起的，该年会的总体主题是Nexus Thinking，其中包括水，能源，食品（WEF）关系的地理范围评估。在这篇简短的社论介绍中，我们概述了该评估的背景，并介绍了构成本节的四篇论文的重点。然后，我们将展示它们是如何通过可以分析WEF关联的多个相互依存的地理尺度来加深我们对关联的理解的，并成为治理，政策和行动的主题。
