18th Conference on Sustainable Development of Energy, Water & Environment Systems

The 18th Conference on Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems (SDEWES) is dedicated to advancing and disseminating knowledge on methods, policies and technologies for increasing the sustainability of development by de-coupling growth from the use of natural resources and by a transition to a knowledge-based economy. All taking into account the economic, environmental and social pillars of sustainable development.

One of the coming decades' main issues is improving efficiencies by integrating various life-supporting systems, using excess from one, as a resource in another at the correct moment. Integrating electricity, heating, cooling, transport, water, buildings, waste, wastewater, industry, forestry and agriculture systems will be pivotal towards sustainable development.

Sustainability is also a perfect field for interdisciplinary and multi-cultural evaluation of complex systems, the SDEWES Conference has become a significant venue for researchers in those areas to meet, and originate, discuss, share, and disseminate new ideas.
