This book also addresses the current challenges of bridging the gap between government policymakers and providers of science and solutions with innovative ideas and new visions to help resolve the challenges facing us in the area of natural resources (water, energy), and environment.

This book is a compilation of selected papers from the Fifth International Conference on Natural Resources and Sustainable Environmental Management held in Near East University, November 2021. It provides intellectual guidance and scientific evidence on the challenges of global warming and climate change based on a humanistic and critical thinking approach, promoting research and education to build equality in the global community and more sustainable societies. This book also addresses the current challenges of bridging the gap between government policymakers and providers of science and solutions with innovative ideas and new visions to help resolve the challenges facing us in the area of natural resources (water, energy), and environment.

The book provides the opportunity to connect with experts on water treatment techniques, eco-hydrology, hydro-informatics, emerging pollutants in water resources and water management from all over the world.

The book provides the opportunity to connect with experts on water treatment techniques, eco-hydrology, hydro-informatics, emerging pollutants in water resources and water management from all over the world. Water is still one of the most significant problems in the world and especially in the Mediterranean region. In this thematic book, all possible approaches and suggestions aimed at finding solutions to overcome water scarcity, better alternatives to treat wastewater and ensuring access to clean water for all communities are valuable subjects that are included for directing authorities to take a step further towards overcoming water-related problems for everyone around the world.

This book provides an overview of promoting the conservation and sustainable use of natural resources and reducing waste and pollution, while also addressing the challenges posed by climate change. Climate change and natural resources are closely linked, as changes in the climate can have significant impacts on the availability and quality of natural resources such as water, air, land, forests, and oceans.Environmental management and sustainable development are crucial to address the challenges posed by climate change and to ensure the long-term viability of natural resources. Also, the planning, implementation, and monitoring of actions that aim to protect and enhance the environment while promoting sustainable development are discussed. In the context of climate change and natural resources, sustainable development involves finding ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to the impacts of climate change, while also promoting resource conservation and sustainable use.  As a result, this book is expected to contribute to the existing literature and provide an in-depth study that gives a fresh approach to the academic and multiple stakeholders, including governments, businesses, civil society, and individuals.

The International Conference on Environment: Survival and Sustainability, held at the Near East University, Nicosia, Northern Cyprus 19-24 February 2007, dealt with environmental threats and proposed solutions at all scales. The 21 themes addressed by the conference fell into four broad categories; Threats to Survival and Sustainability; Technological Advances towards Survival and Sustainability; Activities and Tools for Social Change; Defining Goals for Sustainable Societies.Activities and tools that move the society towards greater sustainability were emphasized at the conference. These included environmental law and ethics, environmental knowledge, technology and information systems, media, environmental awareness, education and lifelong learning, the use of literature for environmental awareness, the green factor in politics, international relations and environmental organizations. The breadth of the issues addressed at the conference made clear the need for greatly increased interdisciplinary and international collaboration the survival and sustainability concept. The exchanges at the conference represent a step in this direction.

This book is a very valuable and timely collection of original essays with brand new and refreshing ideas on alternative solutions for the Cyprus issue from leading experts including academics, policy-makers, politicians, including the current foreign minister and deputy prime minister of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, former foreign minister of Turkey and former MPs, diplomats, bureaucrats and top-ranking military officers. The book also makes a significant contribution to the literature on recent developments including the energy security and hydrocarbon problems in the Eastern Mediterranean. It is also unique in terms of analyzing the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus as a self-proclaimed internationally unrecognized state that is neglected by the international community and scholarly literature. The book has a wide spectrum of readership including, but not limited to, scholars, students, and readers who are interested in Cyprus, Eastern Mediterranean, Turkey, Greece, energy politics, and the hydrocarbon issue.
