The International Decade of Sciences for Sustainable Development (2024–2033), proclaimed by the United Nations and led by UNESCO, represents a pivotal global movement to harness the full spectrum of scientific disciplines for the accelerated achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Two years into its implementation, UNESCO will convene the 2026 Global Conference of the International Decade of Sciences for Sustainable Development (IDSSD), bringing together global stakeholders to take stock of progress, spotlight science-driven solutions and help shape a resilient and inclusive post-2030 future.

Connecting leaders from government, academia, industry, civil society and Indigenous knowledge communities, the Conference will serve as a premier global platform to assess progress, share solutions and forge the partnerships needed to mobilize science for sustainable development at scale.

Under the theme “Science in action: Charting a sustainable and equitable future for all,” the event will spotlight how transdisciplinary research, open science and strengthened science–policy–society interfaces can drive more inclusive and equitable futures for all.

Join UNESCO in Paris to help chart the next phase of global action for science, sustainability and equity.
