Global Sustainable Development Congress 2025 to Take Place in Istanbul

One of the world’s most impactful events focused on sustainability, the Global Sustainable Development Congress will be held in Istanbul from June 16 to 19, 2025.

The congress aims to drive transformation across critical areas—from strengthening health and education to reducing poverty, tackling inequality, addressing the climate crisis, and promoting inclusive economic growth. It brings together stakeholders from higher education, governments, business, and civil society to foster meaningful cross-sector collaboration.

This year’s agenda is built around six key pillars of transformation:

• Cities and communities
• Digital revolution
• Education, gender and inequality
• Energy and industry
• Food, land, water and oceans
• Health and well-being

Each theme will explore ongoing global efforts, examine the key drivers of change, and address how to scale effective solutions with speed, relevance, and global impact.

The congress will also feature the exclusive launch of THE Impact Rankings 2025—the world’s only global performance table that assesses universities against the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Now in its fourth edition, the congress promises not only knowledge exchange but also the formation of new alliances and concrete actions toward building a better future.
