ABOUT THE SUMMIT

The rapid growth in global population, urbanization, and industrialization has led to several complications
such as depletion of natural resources, environmental pollution causing climate change, and potential
health risks including scarcity of food and potable water. It is now widely recognized that 21st century is the
age of environmental challenges world over, all the countries are facing increasing threat of climate change,
pollution, deforestation, disasters, land use change, biodiversity and ecosystem services losses, global
hunger, loss of agriculture, environmental health diseases & epidemics and impinging challenges of socio-
economic inequalities and development. Increased anthropogenic activities have further escalated the
magnitude of these environmental losses. We are witnessing the most severe environmental crisis ever in
the history of the Earth. Chances are ripe that if nothing is done soon enough to address these looming
environmental challenges, we may be soon facing an existential crisis of life on this planet.

Recently in September 2015, the United Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
that included 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 169 inter-linked targets. The goals and targets
covered under 2030 Agenda includes poverty eradication, mitigating pollution, increasing reliability and
sustainability, ensuring access to clean air, water and energy, sanitation and hygiene, sustainable cities and
urbanization, biodiversity conservation etc. A sharp focus was laid to achieving economic, social, cultural,
civil, political and human rights under SDGs by removing gender inequality, conflicts, poverty and
environmental threats. In 2015, 197 countries also adopted a global agreement on combating and
addressing the issue of climate change, known as Paris Agreement 2015.

As per the Paris Agreement, it was decided that both rich and poor countries would take actions to curb the
rise in global temperature and also achieve SDGs in a broader perspective. However, it is needless to say that
little has been achieved in terms of either achieving Sustainable Development Goals or meeting the targets
of Paris Agreement. Every country today faces a huge challenge to supply the energy and employment needs
of ever growing population and keeping climate change in check by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In
order to ensure sustainable development, we would have to make informed and scientific choices. For this,
there is an urgent need of collaborative effort among various stakeholders in terms of infrastructure
development, research and development, development of clean technologies and formulation of a common
minimum sustainable development policy.

This World Environment Summit 2023 would provide such a platform for active deliberations among
various stakeholders and would aim to produce actionable suggestions for the policy makers. The main
focus would be to build capacities on best practices on affordable, alternative solutions, sustainable and
clean energy, sustainable agricutlure, climate action, mitigation of green house gases, pollution control and
management, restoration of ecosystem services, cure & prevention of environmental health diseases,
affordable and sustainable spatial planning techniques and sustainable transport systems. Attempts would
be made to explore the inter-linkages between global environmental challenges, human health and
sustainable development in light of SDG's 2030, SENDAI Framework 2030 and Paris agreement 2015.

The World Environment Summit 2023 will be organized in both mode including physical and virtual
(Online) mode and the participants may join as per their suitability. The Certificates of participation will be
the same. We have designed a separate fee structure for both types of participants.
