The world faces complex and interconnected challenges that require a holistic approach to sustainable development. The nexus approach recognizes the interdependencies and synergies among the various sectors, including environment, energy, food security, sustainability, and climate change. By understanding and addressing these interlinkages, we can create effective strategies and solutions for a sustainable future.
Nexus Summit: Sustainability in a Changing World (NEXSUM2024) is jointly organized by MOMENT ALPHA Sdn Bhd a startup located at Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT), co-organized by International Association of Management Science and Engineering Technology (IAMSET). The conference which will be held during July 24-27, 2024, aims to bring together experts, scholars, researchers, policymakers, industry professionals, and students from around the world to navigate the nexus of carbon neutrality, environment, energy, food security, sustainability, and climate change.
