The International Forum on Sustainability Science (IFSS) 2026 seeks to foreground the role of communities, indigenous peoples, local institutions, social enterprises, academic institutions, and public-private partnerships in co-creating solutions that promote social equity, sustainable livelihoods, ecological integrity, and resilient destinations. It will emphasize the triple bottom line of sustainability—social inclusion, economic viability, and environmental stewardship—while fostering dialogue on transformative practices, policies, technologies, and governance mechanisms that contribute to sustainable futures.
