Faculty of Geography Universitas Gadjah Mada hosted an annual consortium entitled Centers for Natural Resources and Development (CNRD) which was held from November 20 until 24, 2017 in Kuta, Bali. CNRD is a network of universities in the world which promotes academic exchange and cooperation on natural resources management, particularly water, land, ecosystem, and renewable energy. The network aims to give contributions to Post-2015 Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This consortium was attended by as many as 20 universities from four continents in the world.

In addition, the meeting discussed collaborative research projects, including research workshop, research database based on watershed, as well as science and policy workshop.

“Those agendas will be held every year in various countries which are the members of CNRD consortium,” said Aris on Monday (27/11).
The topics discussed in CNRD consortium were sustainable natural resources management, including Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM), Nexus Energy-Water-Food as well as Resources Efficient Cities.

On the occasion, Faculty of Geography invited Center for Marine Research and Observation as one of the stakeholders in marine resources management in Indonesia.
