Fifty years on from UN Summit, the International Science Council, Future Earth & the Stockholm Environment Institute convened an Expert Writing Group of natural scientists, social scientists & humanities scholars to modernize & extend the historical call on eve of Stockholm+50.

The writers are natural scientists, engineers, social scientists and scholars from many disciplines & countries. We see the evidence of global environmental change, assess its impacts, untangle its causes, & see the connections between our social & environmental challenges.

ATREE's, Dr Sharachchandra Lele is the Co-Chair of the Expert Writing Group. ​He says, "Technology empowers us to change the world, science predicts its impacts, social science illuminates our motives. But only an ethical framework tells us whether and how we should change it.

Holistic environmental ethic, encompassing concern for today, for all humans (environmental & social justice), for future generations (sustainability), for other species (conservation) & for participatory processes (deep democracy), must be the beacon for all research & action."

Join the conference today at 8.30PM IST to understand how science can & must contribute to solutions & the transformative change needed in the next decades to reach global targets.

The conference will also focus on how academics and scientists can further develop capacities to support transformations for sustainable health for people & planet.
