Conclusion
In summary, the conference presentations avail a unique opportunity to share knowledge, promote the actualization of several SDGs while creating new opportunities as well as contributing to the enhancement of livelihoods
and global resilience to adverse disruptions. The world is currently united in the commitment to realize this
opportunity. On behalf of the entire conference organizing team, it is my humble duty to wish all the participants
the most rewarding, thought provoking and vibrant deliberations.
