Bonjour à tous, je souhiterais vous faire partager la technologie BIOTEROX qui est un HYDRO-RÉTENTEUR-FERTILISANT support de culture 100 % compatible avec la
protection des ressources d’eau et de la biodiversité.
Un produit répondant aux besoins cruciaux des agriculteurs dans un contexte de
crise environnementale accrue : « Augmenter la productivité des récoltes en
réalisant des économies d’eau et d’engrais, et tout en limitant l’impact de
l’agriculture dans l’environnement .
Son action : préserve les plantes du stress hydrique
sans gaspiller l’eau et apporte une dose optimale
d’engrais, sans polluer les sols et les cours d’eau.
Le support de culture BIOTEROX permet de cultiver en zone désertique, aride ou
affectée par la sécheresse ; de réparer les terres dégradées ; d’augmenter le
rendement des cultures et de réduire drastiquement l’utilisation d’engrais et
pesticides.
Bénéfices :
Jusqu’à 60 % d’économies d’eau : BIOTEROX absorbe l’eau quelle que soit sa
provenance (irrigation, arrosage, pluie, rosée, humidité naturelle du sol...). Cette eau
reste stockée et est libérée par pompage racinaire, en fonction des besoins
progressifs des plantes.
BIOTEROX est économique, il se régénère en captant les eaux souterraines et
tous les nutriments et minéraux dans les sols.

I’m sharing the link to the WMO Global Annual to Decadal Climate Update for 2025–2029, which forecasts that global temperatures will remain at or near record levels over the next five years, heightening climate risks and their impacts on societies, economies, and sustainable development.

Key messages
• 80% chance that at least one of the next five years will exceed 2024 as the warmest on record
• 86% chance that at least one of next five years will be more than 1.5°C above the 1850-1900 average
• 70% chance that 5-year average warming for 2025-2029 will be more than 1.5 °C
• Long-term warming (averaged over decades) remains below 1.5°C
• Arctic warming predicted to continue to outstrip global average
• Precipitation patterns have big regional variations

Hello, this is Meriem Soussi, Assistant Professor at the National Research Institute for Rural Engineering, Water, and Forestry (INRGREF) in Tunisia.
My research focuses on WEFE Nexus technologies, with a particular emphasis on water recovery and innovative air-conditioning systems for greenhouse applications. We are currently piloting a prototype in Tunisia to demonstrate the feasibility and real-world impact of these sustainable solutions.
I'm delighted to be part of this inspiring community and look forward to learning, sharing, and collaborating with you all.

Dear Members,

Welcome to the WEFE4MED Community of Practice (CoP).

As we collectively work to address the complex and interconnected challenges of water, energy, food, and ecosystem sustainability in the Mediterranean, this Community of Practice serves as a vital platform for collaboration, knowledge exchange, and joint innovation.

We are proud to see this network grow into a vibrant and diverse community of practitioners, researchers, policymakers, and civil society actors. Together, we are fostering inclusive dialogue, co-producing actionable knowledge, and bridging the gaps between science, policy, and practice.

Your active engagement is key to advancing integrated WEFE Nexus solutions and building a more resilient, sustainable, and cooperative Mediterranean region.

We look forward to working together, learning from one another, and turning shared ideas into real impact.

Warm regards,
WEFE4MED Team

On this AfricaDay, it is inspiring to see progress in strengthening water governance in one of Africa’s most fragile and vital regions.

A new Simplified Practical Guide has been introduced to help local communities around Lake Chad better understand and apply the principles of the Lake Chad Basin Water Charter. Developed by the Lake Chad Basin Commission and IUCN, with support from the Swiss Development Cooperation through the BRIDGE initiative, this guide aims to close the gap between complex policy frameworks and on-the-ground realities.

Lake Chad, which spans five countries and supports tens of millions of people, is under increasing pressure from climate change, population growth, and competing resource demands. Strengthening cooperation and clarity in managing this shared water resource is more urgent than ever.

The guide is designed for local officials, farmers, pastoralists, and fisherfolk, those whose daily lives are closely tied to the lake. By simplifying key principles of the Water Charter, it helps to promote inclusive decision-making, equitable access, and shared responsibility.

For those of us engaged in drought resilience, transboundary water governance, or sustainable land management this is a timely and practical resource worth exploring.

Happy Africa Day, 2025!

Hello, I hope you are well.
It is a pleasure for me to share with you the half-moon technique, a traditional method of water and soil conservation widely used in Burkina Faso, particularly in arid and semi-arid areas. It involves digging semicircular basins, generally 2 to 4 meters in diameter, with the open edge facing upslope. This technique captures and retains runoff water during the rainy season, promoting its infiltration into the soil and vegetation regeneration. It is particularly effective for restoring degraded land, combating erosion, and improving soil fertility. Used in agroforestry and agricultural fields, the half-moon plays a crucial role in helping rural communities adapt to climate change and promote sustainable agriculture in Burkina Faso.
