“Sustainable Development is the pathway to the future we want for all. It offers a framework to generate economic growth, achieve social justice exercise environmental stewardship and strengthen governance”
--Ban-Ki-Moon
Sustainable Development is a paradigm which is adopted by the United Nations to promote economic development, which is inclusive and makes the life of future generations secure. The adoption of this paradigm has become an urgent need due to threats of global warming and scarcity of natural resources (fossil fuels). At the same time, if the fruit of economic development is not reaching to the bottom of the pyramid, then social and political instability will hamper the economic growth in the country. Hence, to make the benefits of the economic development to become long lasting, there is a consensus around the world to strive for Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). To promote SDGs, regulators are promoting the process of taking due account of environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations while making financial and investment decisions among the corporates globally
Realizing this importance, IIM Bodh Gaya aims to increase awareness among the researchers about the importance of sustainable development through International Conference on Sustainable Goals (ICSG),2022.
