Organizers: Global Schools Program

As the world approaches the final years of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, education plays a critical role in equipping learners with the knowledge, skills, and values needed to advance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The inaugural Global Schools Symposium will bring together K–12 educators, school leaders, researchers, and education practitioners from around the world to explore innovative approaches to Education for Sustainable Development (ESD).

The third session of the “From Science to Solutions: Mobilizing Knowledge, Partnerships and Action Ahead of COP31" webinar series will examine how circular economy strategies — including waste reduction, sustainable supply chains, and systemic resource management reforms — can drive scalable climate action while decoupling economic growth from environmental degradation.

Organizers: AT ONE IMPACT WEEK 2026

The built environment is one of the most powerful, yet overlooked, forms of energy infrastructure. Decisions about where people live, how buildings are designed, and how people and goods move determine patterns of energy demand for decades — shaping not only emissions but affordability, public health, climate resilience, and everyday urban life. This AT ONE IMPACT WEEK panel will examine the next generation of urban solutions in the Asia-Pacific and ask whether cities can be redesigned around human well-being, accessibility, and long-term shared value.

Under the theme "Universities for Sustainable Development: Innovation, Research, and Action,” this conference will bring together scientists, policymakers, local authorities, and industry leaders to advance a global dialogue on the vital role higher education plays in driving sustainable progress.

Organizers: SDSN Ireland, University College Cork, and the UNIC European University Alliance

This Associated EU Presidency Event will explore how climate instability can intensify migration and forced displacement, and what a rights-based, inclusive, and SDG-aligned response should look like. The 90-minute programme will feature a keynote by Ambassador David Donoghue and a panel of leading practitioners and scholars. Discussions will consider how the 2030 Agenda can help build resilient and sustainable futures amid interconnected climate and migration challenges, including implications for the Post-2030 Agenda.

The fourth and final session of the "From Science to Solutions: Mobilizing Knowledge, Partnerships and Action Ahead of COP31" webinar series will focus on scaling and aligning climate finance through improved frameworks, taxonomies, and public-private coordination to turn global commitments into credible, measurable, and investable climate transition pathways.

Organizers: SDSN and Springer Nature

Bringing together leading researchers and practitioners from diverse disciplines, this webinar will explore how locally grounded research and community-led knowledge can inform effective policy responses to deforestation and drive locally grounded solutions. Speakers will examine the current state of deforestation and showcase a range of mitigation approaches, including innovative financial mechanisms, such as the Tropical Forests Forever Facility, legal and governance frameworks, advances in data and monitoring, and the perspectives and leadership of Indigenous Peoples and youth in forest conservation. By highlighting how evidence is translated into policy across different contexts, the webinar aims to foster cross-sector dialogue on integrated, equitable, and science-based pathways to curb deforestation and protect the world's critical forest ecosystems.
