Background And Objectives: The 2030 Agenda For Sustainable Development Represents An Historical International Commitment To Responsible Growth, Shared Prosperity And Reduced Poverty. It Aims To Improve The Conditions Of Life For People, Protect The Environment And Defend Peace And Inclusive Societies. This Ambitious Vision Calls For Strong Governance And Well-crafted Public Policies To Effectively Balance The Economic, Social And Environmental Priorities Of Each Country. Analytical Tools Can Be An Invaluable Tool For Policy Makers To Help Shape And Inform Coherent Policy Design And Formulation. Towards This End, The Eapd/desa And Partners Are Developing And Disseminating A Suite Of Modelling Tools Specifically Designed To Help Assess The Interlinked And Intertwined Issues That Decision-makers Grapple With When Trying To Chart A Sustainable Development Pathway For Their Country. Climate, Land-use, Energy And Water Systems (clews) Models Are Tools For Simultaneous Consideration Of Food, Energy And Water Security. They Are Designed To Assess How Production And Use Of These Resources May Contribute To Climate Change, And How Climate Change May Affect Resource Systems. By Comparing Different Technologies And Value Chains, The Model Can Identify Pressure Points, And Indicate Synergies And Trade-offs To Reach Development Goals. Clews Can Analyse Policy Decisions On Issues Such As The Promotion Of Clean Energy, Competition For Water And Agricultural Modernization.
