About The International Conference on Sustainable Futures
The International Conference on Sustainable Futures (IC-SF) is a high-level forum bringing together policymakers, international experts, development partners, researchers, civil society, the private sector, youth leaders and innovators to address pressing climate and development challenges.
Against the backdrop of the Triple Planetary Crisis (climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution), alongside population growth, resource constraints and social inequalities, the Conference will explore practical solutions, foster knowledge exchange and build partnerships to strengthen climate resilience, sustainable development and inclusive growth in Pakistan and the wider region.
IC-SF 2026 will be held in Islamabad following COP31, providing a platform to connect global climate commitments with national priorities and turn ambition into practical action.
