Sustainable development is sought via policy coherence, as water, energy and food security are highly interdependent, sustainable development should be considered not only an issue of governing resources, but also ensuring that continuous studies are undertaken to understand the interdisciplinary nature of WEF Nexus by including the ethical and moral dimensions as well as technical and practical sides.The Public Policy in Islam Program (PPIP), College of Islamic Studies at Hamad Bin Khalifa University, invites you to submit abstracts or presentation ideas in English or Arabic on the relation between the WEF-N and sustainable development for the Third Annual Student Conference (ASC.)
