About the Conference

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) represent a global call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all by 2030. Despite significant progress, the complexity and interconnected nature of these goals necessitate innovative, cross sectoral approaches. There is a need to look into the current practices, approaches, challenges and future strategies adopted across the globe.
This conference aims to bring together experts from various disciplines to analyse, discuss, deliberate on relevant issues and generate new strategies for achieving the SDGs.
