CALL FOR PAPERS

CONFERENCE PROGRAM

The global economy stands at a crossroads. Climate change, resource depletion, financial instability, and widening social inequalities are challenging traditional economic models. Governments, businesses and institutions must take decisive action to ensure long-term economic prosperity while safeguarding the planet for future generations. The transition to a sustainable economy is not just an aspiration—it is an urgent necessity.

Achieving economic sustainability requires a holistic approach that balances environmental responsibility, financial stability and social equity. Businesses must embrace green innovations and circular economy models; policymakers must implement effective regulations and fiscal strategies; financial institutions must promote sustainable investment and ethical finance. This transformation demands collaboration across disciplines, sectors and borders.

The International Conference: Sustainable Economy for a Sustainable Future provides a premier platform for academics, industry experts, policymakers, and researchers to exchange ideas, present innovative research, and develop actionable strategies that drive the green transition. The conference aims to explore cutting-edge microeconomic and macroeconomic solutions that foster sustainability while ensuring economic resilience, growth and inclusivity. As the global economy faces pressing environmental challenges, integrating sustainable practices at both micro and macro levels is essential for long-term prosperity. This conference seeks to explore innovative strategies, policies and business models that drive economic resilience while ensuring environmental and social sustainability.

We invite scholars, practitioners, and policymakers to submit original research papers, case studies, and policy discussions that contribute to the global dialogue on sustainability. This is an opportunity to shape the future of economic policies, corporate strategies and financial systems, which prioritize both profitability and environmental responsibility.
