About Symposium

The world continues to be confronted with worsening degradation of the natural environment largely driven by population growth, unsustainable exploitation and consumption of natural resources, environmental pollution, and accelerated climate change. Severe consequences exemplified by prolonged droughts, shortage of water for human consumption and irrigation, floods and storms, and loss of biodiversity can be seen in many regions endangering people’s health and livelihoods. Against this background a diverse array of initiatives at global, regional, national, and local levels are underway to reverse this dire situation and set the world onto a path to recovery and restoration.
