About the Conference

United Nations in its report has identified climate crisis, accelerated urbanization, demographic shift, amplified individuals, economic power trends and emerging technology as six megatrends that have a lasting influence on the course of sustainable development. In addition to these, emerging trends such as Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Reality, amongst many need trans-disciplinary scrutiny through the prism of multifarious laws in the realms of IPR, Healthcare, Employment, Environment, Corporate Laws and other legal and allied subjects.

The juxtaposition of demographical or technological development and socioeconomic landscape or uses of scientific advancement in Environment such as in Zero Carbon Technology are a few examples of how multi-faceted and transdisciplinary these issues are.

Therefore, the aim of this Conference is to link a range of megatrends to one another and offer a larger picture on how these are shaped by global and national policies and affect stakeholders from a macro to the micro-level.

This Conference invites discourse on these upcoming trends that have a butterfly effect on various facets of development and reformation as
drivers of change while rethinking the challenges and opportunities for sustainability that lies ahead.
