3 Characterisation of European Green Deal policies related to food, mobility and energy with high resource nexus relevance
3.1 Identifying relevant European Green Deal policies
3.2 Characterising European Green Deal policies according to nexus relevance
3.3 Selecting high-level European Green Deal policies and related transition pathways for further analysis
4 Case studies: European Green Deal challenges and opportunities from a resource nexus lens
5 Case study 1: How a resource-nexus approach can support an effective transition towards a sustainable food system: the role of increased organic farming and reduced use of pesticides
5.1 Policy framework: vision, targets and transitions
5.2 Key documents that contain policy proposals for organic farming and pesticide use
5.3 A resource-nexus perspective on organic farming and pesticide use
5.3.1 The value of the resource-nexus approach for navigating the transition pathway for organic farming and pesticide-use reductions
5.3.2 Increasing organic farming: synergies and trade-offs with selected resources
5.4 Conclusion: How can the resource nexus approach help create a more sustainable transition pathway for organic farming and pesticides?
6 Case study 2: a resource nexus lens on current EU plans to increase the production of bioenergy
6.1 Policy framework: vision, targets and transitions
6.2 Key documents: existing framework and European Green Deal policy proposals for bioenergy
6.3 A resource-nexus perspective on bioenergy: biogas and biofuels
6.3.1 The value of the resource nexus for navigating transition pathways for biogas and biofuels
6.3.2 Increased production of advanced biofuels: potential synergies and trade-offs with selected resources
6.3.3 Increasing production of biofuels: addressing potential synergies and trade-offs with selected resources
6.4 Conclusion: How does a resource nexus lens help us evaluate transition pathways for bioenergy?
7 Case study 3: How a resource-nexus approach can support an effective transition to sustainable mobility: the role of electric vehicles and batteries
7.1 Policy framework: vision, targets and transitions
7.2 Key documents that contain policy proposals for the electrification of transport and for batteries
7.3 A resource-nexus perspective on the electrification of transport and batteries
7.3.1 The value of the resource-nexus approach for navigating the transition pathway for the electrification of transport and batteries
7.3.2 Increasing electric vehicles: synergies and trade-offs with selected resources
7.4 Conclusion: How can the resource nexus approach help create a more sustainable transition pathway to EVs and the associated battery use?
