Conference // "Energy Access and the Nexus with Water and Food", Milano/Italy

In the perspective of an integrated approach to resource management, energy is closely linked to other resources, in particular water and food. Availability and security of water, energy and food can be achieved through an integrated approach. This conference represents an high level opportunity to discuss on these topics.

International cooperation is nowadays considered an essential element for the promotion of global energy strategies that can meet the four main dimensions of sustainability: economic, environmental, social and institutional. Politecnico di Milano and Enel Foundation jointly organize this international conference to serve as high-level platform for networking and scientific exchange in the field.
