CONFERENCE TRACK
The conference is organized around six broad themes that reflect the links between innovation, sustainability, and inclusive development. Each theme has been designed to encourage discussion across disciplines and to draw attention to the practical challenges faced by emerging economies.
Track 1: Technological Innovation for Sustainability
- Advancing green technologies for renewable energy generation, carbon capture, and resource-efficient production.
- Using AI, big data, and IoT to improve climate forecasting, manage energy systems, and support real-time environmental decisions.
- Developing smart urban services with integrated digital infrastructure and efficient resource management.
- Encouraging grassroots innovations that adapt modern technologies to local needs and constraints.
Track 2: Economic Innovation and Circular Growth
- Promoting circular economy systems through sustainable supply chains, product redesign, and waste-minimizing practices.
- Supporting social enterprises and green start-ups that create local livelihoods and strengthen community resilience.
- Expanding innovative financing tools such as green bonds, impact investment, and decentralized funding models.
- Encouraging skill development and entrepreneurship to build a workforce prepared for green and circular industries.
Track 3: Inclusive Social Development and Public Health
- Strengthening health and nutrition outcomes through community-based programmes and technology-enabled delivery systems.
- Advancing gender equality by improving access to education, skills, and economic opportunities.
- Reducing social vulnerabilities with inclusive policies that ensure fair access to housing, sanitation, safe mobility, and other essential services.
- Enhancing disaster- and climate-related health preparedness through stronger community awareness and responsive public health systems.
Track 4: Environmental Sustainability, Climate Action, and Disaster Resilience
- Building climate and disaster resilience through adaptive planning, early warning systems, nature-based solutions, and community engagement.
- Scaling sustainable agriculture with precision tools, soil restoration, and climate-resilient crops.
- Protecting ecosystems through advanced monitoring technologies and stronger conservation strategies.
- Expanding community training programmes that strengthen local preparedness and create practical risk-reduction skills.
Track 5: Policy, Governance, and Institutional Capacity
- Strengthening public-private and interdepartmental partnerships to design and implement sustainability policies.
- Creating regulatory incentives for low-carbon growth, responsible resource use, and circular practices.
- Improving governance with digital tools that enhance transparency, data-driven planning, and citizen participation.
- Supporting capacity-building initiatives that help institutions adopt long-term sustainability frameworks.
Track 6: Sustainable Infrastructure and Urban Transition
- Developing climate-responsive and energy-efficient buildings using modern materials and decentralized power systems.
- Transforming mobility with electric transport, multimodal planning, and intelligent traffic solutions.
- Improving waste and water systems through smart management, decentralized treatment, and circular resource recovery.
- Expanding urban green spaces and resilient public areas that support healthy living and reduce environmental stress.
These themes offer a structured way to guide the discussions, yet the scope of the conference is not limited to them. Participants are encouraged to bring forward additional perspectives, emerging research and innovative approaches that may fall outside these broad categories.
