Globally, 3 billion people are without access to modern fuels or technologies for cooking/heating, 900 million people lack access to safe water, 2.6 billion lack improved sanitation, 2 billion people lack food security intermittently, and more than 820 million people are chronically hungry due to extreme poverty. This paper on the allocation of and access to water, energy and food (WEF) nexus rests on the ‘Rawlsian’ conception of distributive justice to human security and the competing demands for WEF. Based on a review of papers on access and allocation published from 2008 through 2020, this paper finds that ‘policy coordination’ among all the actors (at all levels in general and local levels in particular) governing the water–energy–food nexus is the key to promoting equitable allocation of and access to WEF. Only legitimate governance with robust legal structures in place can provide for the equitable allocation in the WEF nexus. Effective stakeholder participation in governance of the nexus is necessary and ensured when power asymmetries, interdependencies and rights are accounted for in principles of procedural justice. Moreover, to ensure access to people in the WEF nexus, the distribution of the three goods and related rights must be delivered as a ‘triplet’. This will promote the goal to mitigate trade-offs and promote synergies among the resources as well as conserve the environment within the context of the Sustainable Development Goals.

水、能源和食物关系的全球治理：竞争需求的分配和获取

在全球范围内，30 亿人无法获得现代燃料或烹饪/取暖技术，9 亿人无法获得安全用水，26 亿人缺乏改善的卫生设施，20 亿人间歇性缺乏粮食安全，超过 8.2 亿人长期处于饥饿状态由于极度贫困。这篇关于水、能源和食物 (WEF) 关系的分配和获取的论文基于“罗尔斯式”的人类安全分配正义概念以及对 WEF 的竞争性需求。根据对 2008 年至 2020 年发表的关于获取和分配的论文的回顾，本文发现管理水-能源-粮食关系的所有参与者（在所有层面，特别是在地方层面）之间的“政策协调”是促进公平分配和获得世界经济论坛的关键。只有具备健全法律结构的合法治理才能在世界经济论坛关系中提供公平分配。当权力不对称、相互依存和权利在程序正义原则中得到考虑时，利益相关者有效参与关系的治理是必要的，并得到确保。此外，为了确保与世界经济论坛中的人们接触，三种商品和相关权利的分配必须作为“三元组”交付。这将促进在可持续发展目标的背景下减少权衡取舍和促进资源之间的协同作用以及保护环境的目标。相互依存和权利在程序正义原则中得到考虑。此外，为了确保与世界经济论坛中的人们接触，三种商品和相关权利的分配必须作为“三元组”交付。这将促进在可持续发展目标的背景下减少权衡取舍和促进资源之间的协同作用以及保护环境的目标。相互依存和权利在程序正义原则中得到考虑。此外，为了确保与世界经济论坛中的人们接触，三种商品和相关权利的分配必须作为“三元组”交付。这将促进在可持续发展目标的背景下减少权衡取舍和促进资源之间的协同作用以及保护环境的目标。
