Ninth Annual International Conference on Sustainable Development (ICSD) on 20-21 September, 2021

The Global Association of Master’s in Development Practice Programs (MDP), in collaboration with the Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN), will hold the Ninth Annual International Conference on Sustainable Development (ICSD) on 20-21 September, 2021 virtually.

Thus, Prof. Phoebe Koundouri is  delighted to share the call for abstracts as she leads the following sessions:

1) Sustainable Finance for the Implementation of the Paris Climate Agreement

Dr. Phoebe Koundouri & Dimitris Dimitriadis

Significant financial resources are necessary for the achievement of climate targets across the globe. As the world recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic, there is an opportunity to transform our economies in a way that will trigger exponential change in strengthening social, economic, health, and environmental resilience. This session will discuss mobilizing financial resources for climate action as an economic recovery model to the pandemic.

2) Interdisciplinary Research for Sustainable Blue Growth

Mounir Ghribi, Prof. Maria Cristina Pedicchio, Prof. Phoebe Koundouri, & Prof. Nicolaos Theodossiou

This session will focus on interlinking governance, industry, and academia, which are often disconnected, to invigorate sustainable blue growth in maritime sectors. This includes maximizing the impact of investing in the improvement of existing skills (upskilling) and training in new skills (reskilling) throughout vocational and higher education to build strong blue skills partnerships.
