Rooted in Asia, Ready for Tomorrow: Nature, Communities, and Capital in Action
The Sustainable Asia Conference (SAC) is a peer-reviewed event hosted by the SUSS SBIZ and Sustainability Committee. It gathers researchers, industry leaders, and policymakers to address the region’s top sustainability issues by combining rigorous scholarship with practical application.
Papers accepted to the conference contribute to the interdisciplinary sustainability research agenda and engage practitioners and policymakers influencing Asia’s sustainability efforts.
About the Conference
Why take part?
Following the success of our first 2025 Sustainable Asia Conference, which gathered top academics and industry leaders, the 2027 Sustainable Asia Conference aims to sustain this energy by providing a platform for diverse speakers to engage in meaningful discussions on sustainability across Asia.

Programme Overview
Call for Abstracts
We welcome submissions of research abstracts of no more than one (1) page (and three to five keywords) describing the following:
✅Topic introduction and research context
✅Research objectives or key questions
✅Data and methodology
✅Main findings or expected practical contributions
✅Relevance to the conference theme/sub-themes
Abstracts can include one (1) figure and/or one (1) table in their submission. Submissions must adhere to the formatting and typesetting guidelines specified in the abstract submission template, which includes the conference header.
Authors must specify the session most relevant to their research. Submissions will be validated through the abstract and keywords, then directed to the suitable Session Chair. Each abstract will undergo independent review, and the final decision rests with the programme committee.
Accepted abstract authors will be invited to present either orally with a 15-minute talk or through a poster. Posters will be displayed during a research workshop session. Authors can specify their preferred format during submission, but the conference committee will decide the final presentation method. Detailed guidelines will be shared after acceptance.

This track sits at the intersection of social sustainability and behavioural science: even when people and institutions value equity and inclusion, they often do not act accordingly, and behavioural science offers tools to understand this gap and design interventions that close it. In applying these tools, the track also asks whose behaviours are targeted, whose knowledge counts, and who bears the costs and benefits of change, including local communities, indigenous knowledge holders and frontline populations.
