National Development in Uncertain Times
We are delighted to engage the public on a follow up book discussion and short presentation for 2 hours together with co-authors Dr. Detlof von Oertzen and Dr. Martin Schneider, who will lead the discussion. Following the launch of the publication in April 2024, this event promises an engaging dialogue with the aim to create ongoing awareness and further strengthen collaborative efforts to address Namibia’s challenges in light of the Water-Energy-Food Nexus. About the Book Our survival on Earth depends fundamentally on the availability of water, energy, and food. The interconnectedness of these elements, known as the Water-Energy-Food Nexus, underscores the importance of addressing these resources holistically. This is particularly critical as growing global populations and climate change place increasing demands on finite resources. Namibia, like many nations, faces significant challenges in managing water, energy, and food sustainably. The book introduces Namibia’s water, energy, and food sectors, explores their interrelationships, and examines how development prospects can be enhanced through a strengthened nexus approach.
