• Use the Krabi Initiative as a platform to
develop foresight scenarios of ASEAN by 2015
and
• Demonstrate how foresight coupled with
sustainable economic and ecological choices
can create:
• Inclusive innovation that addresses bottom-of-the-
pyramid issues;
• Societal resilience for coping with
systemic stress associated with
management of scarce resources
(e.g. food, water, land);
• Knowledge-intensive services for local economic
development in economically disadvantaged
communities;
• Agendas of new economic and technical
opportunities.

8. The Challenges of Energy, Food, and
Water Security are Interrelated
• Energy and water needs for agriculture
• Energy use for water purification, distribution, recycle
• Conflicts between use of water for hydroelectricity and
by people
• Energy and water requirements for food processing and
distribution
• Water needs for energy production

12. Features of Pathways to a Sustainable
Future for ASEAN:
1. Governance: Improved governance that balances the use of
resources for economic development with the needs of citizens
and recognizes the opportunity costs associated with
alternative uses of energy and water, including uses that
support food production and distribution;
2. Holistic Approach: The need for a holistic approach to the
energy-water-food nexus, recognizing that actions taken with
respect to any one of these sectors will inevitably affect the
others, and without careful evidence-based planning, is likely
to be detrimental to one or more of them;

13. Features of Pathways to a Sustainable
Future for ASEAN:
3. Community-based decision making: The recognition
that achieving inclusiveness and promoting social equity
will require the development and implementation of
effective practices for community-based decision-
making, as well as local capacity building that involves
outreach, education and training, and investment.
