Besides the efforts to face its water
challenges, Egypt is continuously doing its best
to promote the water cooperation in the
international community as multi-dimensional in
nature and encapsulates cultural, educational
and scientific factors, as well as ethical,
social, legal, institutional and economic
dimensions.
It should be clear that not only one-dimensional
solution can face the water challenges and
fulfill the food security worldwide. However,
multi-dimensional measures should be
implemented. Therefore, the International
Conference on Water Cooperation for Sustainable
Development has many dimensions being Water
Diplomacy, Conflict management, Implementation
of Conventions, International Laws, Economic,
Institutional, Trans-boundary Water Management.
In this context, experts, researchers,
professionals and decision-makers from all
countries are invited to join the conference and
get together in a professional platform. In
addition, to exchange knowledge and experience
to promote water cooperation, facilitate the
multidisciplinary approach, and develop a common
understanding of the needs and challenges on
global scales. |
