The Conference theme is:
“Creating a unified foundation for the Sustainable Development: research, practice and education”.
This theme emphasizes the strong foundation that is provided by using research to inform our everyday practices, policies, and analytical approaches.
 The 2026 Conference will once again provide a forum for the sharing of ideas, presentation of research findings, and discussion of professional issues relevant to Sustainability Science.

This initiative will advance through a multidisciplinary approach, integrating diverse fields and perspectives to address the core and interconnected questions of Sustainable Development. It serves as a collaborative platform for scholars, educators, and practitioners from all professional disciplines who share a commitment to sustainability.
