About the Conference

The idea of development has evolved itself and the world today has joined hands to set its goals and targets and achieve the same. Accordingly, Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) have been set wherein all the aspects of human development are taken care of. The SDGs are specifically aimed to eliminate poverty and hunger, ensure good health and well-being, provide quality education to all, ensure gender equality, provide clean water and sanitation. Sustainable development will need to be inclusive and take special care of the needs of the poorest and most vulnerable. Strategies need to be ambitious, action-oriented and collaborative, and adaptive to different levels of development as future has arrived early and caught all of us unguarded and unprepared. As we look ahead, the future seems inexplicably uncertain and has humbled even those holding the most powerful positions, compelling us to reassess, rethink and realign our lives to the new world order as the world’s vision and commitment regarding sustainable development have been changing throughout the time. In line with our previous conferences, Amity School of Economics presents its 4th conference titled “Sustainable development Goals: Lessons and Challenges in VUCA World.”
