Dear all,
We are pleased to announce the 2026 Sustainability, Innovation and Governance for Society (SiGS) International Conference, taking place on 18 –20 June 2026 in Paris, France.
This conference brings together scholars, policymakers, investors, and community leaders committed to addressing the climate crisis and driving sustainable innovation for inclusive and resilient development. Under the theme "State Capacity, Private Finance, and Inclusive Climate Governance," SiGS 2026 calls for a fundamental rethinking of how climate action is structured, financed, and governed to ensure transformative and equitable outcomes.
SiGS 2026 invites original research and policy papers that explore how institutional capacity, private capital, and participatory governance can jointly accelerate climate transitions and promote sustainability. Contributors are encouraged to challenge prevailing assumptions, bridge disciplines, and advance new models of collaboration between state and non-state actors.
