The current challenges that society faces call for actions fostering climate change adaptation and long-term sustainability grounded in effective policies.Consequently,to raise environmental resilience and sustain human wellbeing,we need to overhaul the policy-making process towards a\'holistic approach\'.The nexus approach has proven a valuable tool for identifying gaps and incoherencies in current policies,for understanding major interlinkages across sectors and scales,and for promoting the Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs).Nevertheless,a\'silo approach\'to decision making currently prevails,thus achieving cross-sectoral and cross-scale harmonization still remains a challenge in policy-making.In response to this challenge,the next step in the science-policy-practice interface is to integrate the nexus approach in the\'climate services\'arena,in order to support integrated policies.Climate services embody a bridge between researchers and stakeholders,and by sup-porting integrated policies they will ensure synergies between sectors and scales,reduce potential trade-offs,and enable co-benefits.
