The urgency to address complex global challenges and build a sustainable future has never been greater. As we approach the mid-21st century, the call to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 becomes increasingly critical to securing a healthy, stable, and sustainable planet.

The conference, “Navigating the Path Towards Net Zero Carbon Emission by 2050”, brings together researchers, policymakers, educators, and environmental advocates to collaboratively chart a course toward a carbon-neutral future. Participants will exchange insights, share innovative projects, programs, and policies, and build networks to drive transformative change over the next three decades. This event also marks PSSN’s 25 years of dedicated contribution to the global net zero movement, reinforcing its commitment to a sustainable future.
