As the world moves toward a more interconnected future, the relationship between water and energy is becoming increasingly critical. This interdependency, often referred to as the water-energy-environment nexus, highlights the complex challenges facing energy and water security, both of which have profound implications for environmental sustainability.

Addressing these challenges requires a global and regional approach, fostering cooperation to achieve water, energy, and environmental security. Such collaboration presents new opportunities for innovation, resource optimisation, and sustainable growth. However, unlocking these opportunities necessitates a shared understanding of common challenges and the establishment of mutual trust among stakeholders.

The conference will serve as a platform for policymakers, industry leaders, researchers, private sector, academia, embassies, experts from 30 countries to discuss the pressing challenges and find sustainable integrated solutions related to the water-energy-environment nexus.

Topics like disaster risk reduction, renewable energy, energy, water and health trilemma and other diverse topics will also be discussed in the conference which will be held on December 5 and 6, at the Dr Ambedkar International Centre here.
