The Conference will focus on deliberating crucial questions:
- How to end poverty in its all forms across the world;
- What are the pragmatic ways to fight injustice and inequality;
- How to achieve and experience peace; and,
- What are the best approaches to ensuring environmental protection and economic development in an integrated and balanced manner.
We believe that the need of engaging people and their institutions at all forms and all levels is a fundamental step for addressing these issues at the country and regional levels, and moving forward the SDGs agenda recently adopted at the UNGA in New York.
Researchers, scholars, policy makers and practitioners from a wide range of disciplines, from the Asia-Pacific region will focus on deliberating crucial questions - what we need to do and what pragmatic strategies are required for capacity building at country level in terms of education, training and practice to develop and follow inter and multi-disciplinary approaches to achieve SDGs by 2030.
