It is now widely recognized that 21st century is the\nage of environmental challenges world over, all the countries are facing increasing threat of climate change,\npollution, deforestation, disasters, land use change, biodiversity and ecosystem services losses, global\nhunger, loss of agriculture, environmental health diseases & epidemics and impinging challenges of socioeconomic inequalities and development. Increased anthropogenic activities have further escalated the\nmagnitude of these environmental losses. We are witnessing the most severe environmental crisis ever in\nthe history of the Earth. Chances are ripe that if nothing is done soon enough to address these looming\nenvironmental challenges, we may be soon facing an existential crisis of life on this planet.<\/br><\/br>\nRecently in September 2015, the United Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development\nthat included 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 169 inter-linked targets. The goals and targets\ncovered under 2030 Agenda includes poverty eradication, mitigating pollution, increasing reliability and\nsustainability, ensuring access to clean air, water and energy, sanitation and hygiene, sustainable cities and\nurbanization, biodiversity conservation etc. A sharp focus was laid to achieving economic, social, cultural,\ncivil, political and human rights under SDGs by removing gender inequality, conflicts, poverty and\nenvironmental threats. In 2015, 197 countries also adopted a global agreement on combating and\naddressing the issue of climate change, known as Paris Agreement, in 2015.<\/br><\/br>\nAs per the Paris Agreement, it was decided that both rich and poor countries would take actions to curb the\nrise in global temperature and also achieve SDGs in a broader perspective. However, it is needless to say that\nlittle has been achieved in terms of either achieving Sustainable Development Goals or meeting the targets\nof Paris Agreement. Every country today faces a huge challenge to supply the energy and employment needs\nof ever growing population and keeping climate change in check by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In\norder to ensure sustainable development, we would have to make informed and scientific choices. For this,\nthere is an urgent need of collaborative effort among various stakeholders in terms of infrastructure\ndevelopment, research and development, development of clean technologies and formulation of a common\nminimum sustainable development policy.<\/br><\/br>\nThis world environment summit 2022 would provide such a platform for active deliberations among\nvarious stakeholders and would aim to produce actionable suggestions for the policy makers. The main\nfocus would be to build capacities on best practices on affordable, alternative solutions, sustainable and\nclean energy, sustainable agricutlure, pollution control and management, restoration of ecosystem\nservices, cure & prevention of environmental health diseases, affordable and sustainable spatial planning\ntechniques and sustainable transport systems. Attempts would be made to explore the inter-linkages\nbetween global environmental challenges, human health and sustainable development in light of SDG's\n2030, SENDAI Framework 2030 and Paris agreement 2015.<\/br><\/br>\n<b>The World environment Summit 2023 will be organized in both mode including physical and\nvirtual(Online) mode and the participants may join as per their suitability. The Certificates of participation\nwill be the same. We have designed a separate fee structure for both types of participants.<\/b>\n    <\/br><\/br>\n    \n\n    <h3>SUB THEMES OF THE\nCONFERENCE FOR ABSTRACTS <\/h3>\n   <b> Abstracts can be submitted under the following sub-themes:<\/b><\/br><\/br>\n\n\n<b><i><u>1.
