While the need for energy and water resources are increasing in the world, due to the uncertainty about the future of these resources, international cooperation on both regional and global levels is required. Especially in Asia where there are various developing countries; need for energy and water resources, food security, health, climate change, drought, global warming and pollution are major problems that Asian countries cannot solve by themselves. In order to resolve these issues long-term regional and continental cooperation is required.
Energy, water and food security are closely associated with modernization, development and economic growth. These problems which have a huge affect on relation between individuals, societies and states in 21st century, have created new concepts. The problems related to energy, water and food are required more international cooperation than any other problem. The Congress aims to create a continental based consciousness with regards to energy, water and food security, intellectual contribution to the resolution of conflicts and development of cooperation and interaction among Asian countries on energy, water and food policies. The congress will be held by Turkish Asian Center for Strategic Studies (TASAM) and Central Asian Research Center at Kyrgyzstan-Turkey Manas University (ORASAM-KTMU).
