Focus will be placed on how the Nexus Approach to the management of environmental resources, such as water, soil, and waste, contributes to the realisation and implementation of circular economy principles. The programme will explore research and practical examples of sustainable resource management in communities around the world and how these management strategies support the achievement of the SDGs.

The organisers have developed a diverse programme, including a variety of both conventional and modern session formats to engage with the conference topic. While keynote speeches will provide expert insights, sessions with contributions from international experts will offer a more in-depth look at research and experiences in implementing nexus-oriented strategies for achieving a circular economy. The programme will also offer several opportunities for participants from the academic, political, and civil society sectors as well as the United Nations to engage with each other, network, and exchange experiences.
