The rapid growth in global population, urbanization, and industrialization has led to several
complications such as depletion of natural resources, environmental pollution causing climate change,
and potential health risks including scarcity of food and potable water. It is now widely recognized that
21st century is the age of environmental challenges world over, all the countries are facing increasing
threat of climate change, pollution, deforestation, disasters, land use change, biodiversity and ecosystem
services losses, global hunger, loss of agriculture, environmental health diseases & epidemics and
impinging challenges of socio economic inequalities and development. Increased anthropogenic
activities have further escalated the magnitude of these environmental losses. We are witnessing the most
severe environmental crisis ever in the history of the Earth. Chances are ripe that if nothing is done soon
enough to address these looming environmental challenges, we may be soon facing an existential crisis
of life on this planet.

Recently in September 2015, the United Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development that included 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 169 inter-linked
targets. The goals and targets covered under 2030 Agenda includes poverty eradication,
mitigating pollution, increasing reliability and sustainability, ensuring access to clean air, water
and energy, sanitation and hygiene, sustainable cities and urbanization, biodiversity conservation
etc. A sharp focus was laid to achieving economic, social, cultural, civil, political and human rights
under SDGs by removing gender inequality, conflicts, poverty and environmental threats. In
2015, 197 countries also adopted a global agreement on combating and addressing the issue of
climate change, known as Paris Agreement, in 2015.
As per the Paris Agreement, it was decided that both rich and poor countries would take actions to
curb the rise in global temperature and also achieve SDGs in a broader perspective. However, it is
needless to say that little has been achieved in terms of either achieving Sustainable Development
Goals or meeting the targets of Paris Agreement. Every country today faces a huge challenge to
supply the energy and employment needs of ever growing population and keeping climate change
in check by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In order to ensure sustainable development, we
would have to make informed and scientific choices. For this, there is an urgent need of
collaborative effort among various stakeholders in terms of infrastructure development, research
and development, development of clean technologies and formulation of a common minimum
sustainable development policy.
This world environment summit 2022 would provide such a platform for active deliberations among
various stakeholders and would aim to produce actionable suggestions for the policy makers. The
main focus would be to build capacities on best practices on affordable, alternative solutions,
sustainable and clean energy, sustainable agricutlure, pollution control and management, restoration
of ecosystem services, cure & prevention of environmental health diseases, affordable and sustainable
spatial planning techniques and sustainable transport systems. Attempts would be made to explore
the inter-linkages between global environmental challenges, human health and sustainable
development in light of SDG's 2030, SENDAI Framework 2030 and Paris agreement 2015.
The World environment Summit 2022 will be organized in both mode including physical and virtual
(Online) mode and the participants may join as per their suitability. The Certificates of participation
will be the same. We have designed a separate fee structure for both types of participants.
