Brief description of ToR
The research has followed silo approach in most cases, where Ecological infrastructure, or resilience to climate change, green economy are not thought and dealt with as a complex, yet they are inter-dependent as in a nexus. The country is missing the state of water resources report, particularly on water quality. Present Ecological State (PES) has the ability to generate this, provided the decade old PES is reviewed and enhanced with latest scientific advancement such as the ecological infrastructure, climate change and economy in a nexus. Therefore the overall aim of this call is to develop a decision support framework that brings the real world of socio-ecological complexity through integrating the economic development demands and impacts of climate change on water resources health.
