Conference // "Water, Energy, Environment and Food Nexus: Solutions and Adaptation under Changing Climate", Lahore
The evidence for climate change is now considered to be unequivocal and it can cause huge impact on global water resources. Substantial adaptation is needed to ensure management of water resources for food, energy and environment.
Water is an essential resource for human well-being and ecosystem functioning. The availability of fresh water is continuously declining due to increasing water demands, global climate change and a multitude of water use conflicts. Thus the sustainable management of water is a key issue in future societal development. The water, being a fundamental element for life, is strongly linked with the food production, energy generation and environment. However, the anthropogenic activities have triggered the global climate change.
The conference will provide a great opportunity for scientists, engineers, water managers and professionals from education, research, government and private sectors consulting establishments to come together to express their opinions and interests. We expect to attract a wide international audience to attend the conference.
