Introduction
Anchor Coalition is a community engagement non-governmental organization (NGO) focused on sustainability throughout the world.
Vision
To combat global climate crises by helping communities get on a path toward sustainability by integrating energy with the water-energy-food nexus.
Mission
To manage the nexus in helping build local resilience that leads to sustainable communities and by advancing clean energy technologies and promoting services that achieve water and energy efficiency in an integrated manner.

Challenges

The water–energy–food nexus is about understanding and managing often-competing interests while ensuring the integrity of ecosystems. The first challenge in dealing with the water–energy–food nexus is to understand it. The second challenge is to put the water–energy–food nexus concept into action. Specifically, these actions include the following:

Need to significantly and rapidly reduce emissions to avoid the worst effects of climate crises
Inefficient energy generation and distribution
Water management and agrifood supply chain being considered as a separate pieces from energy and community development
Limited coordination amongst public and the private sector, and with community members
Lack of integrated planning geared towards implementation and long-term sustainability
Insufficient support for non-traditional, clean technologies

^{goals and objectives}

Anchor’s two main goals are:

To bridge communication and knowledge gaps through integrated planning, education, and training, Anchor will facilitate the integrated planning process, involving all key stakeholders.
To conduct scientific R&D and demonstrate technological solutions, Anchor will help develop living classrooms and laboratories in conjunction with educational and research institutions.
