Effective formulation and implementation of climate policies require efficient integration of disaster mitigation and sustainable development to eliminate maladaptation and enhance water security. However, practical implementation is still lacking in many African countries. This study aims to examine practical measures and strategies for the integration of sustainable development and disaster mitigation into climate policies to enhance water security in Africa. A systematic bibliometric and thematic analysis was conducted using 95 peer-reviewed articles within the period 2010 to 2025 from the Scopus database. Software and frameworks such as VOSviewer and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA) were employed to analyze publication trends, co-authorship networks, keyword co-occurrence, and themes. The study revealed current research themes such as nature-based solutions for water security, climate-resilient infrastructure and technologies, and practical measures, such as eco-based adaptation and water energy food nexus, as some components of climate policy integration that can enhance water security in Africa. The study offers key policy recommendations for policymakers in the implementation of integrated climate policies adequate and effective enough to deal with water security issues in Africa.

Implementation of climate change policies, therefore, requires adequate consideration of the interconnection between water, energy, and food executed on synergies and managing tradeoffs, which most often is lacking in some developing countries like Nigeria. This paper assesses the relevance of the water-energy-food (WEF) nexus approach and highlights its role in formulating sustainable climate policies. In this review, a narrative and exploratory approach was carried out through a literature search from international databases such as Google Scholar and Scopus to capture the full range of perspectives between the years 2002 and 2025 that have contributed to the emergence of the WEF nexus approach in formulating sustainable climate policies. Enhanced resource efficiency, improved resilience to climate change, reduced environmental degradation and innovation and technology development are some of the benefits of the WEF nexus approach. Given the intricate interconnections among these resources, integrating the WEF nexus into policymaking is essential for ensuring long-term resource security and sustainability. This approach fosters a comprehensive and strategic framework for embedding water, energy, and food considerations into climate governance KW - Water-Energy-Food Nexus KW - Climate Change Policies KW - Nigeria KW - Synergies KW - Trade-offs KW - Sustainability Y1 - 2025 U6 - https://doi.org/10.37284/ajccrs.4.2.3639 SN - 2790-962X SN - 2790-9638 VL - 4 IS - 2 SP - 150 EP - 170 PB - East African Nature and Science Organization CY - Nairobi, Kenya ER -
