HSC 2025
HSC is an international forum that convenes distinguished leaders from politics, business, academia, and civil society to develop solutions to the most pressing global challenges of the time.
According to the organisers, this year’s edition of the HSC will center on three thematic pillars; it will address the urgent need to reshape the global financial architecture, ensuring fairer and more sustainable financing models while alleviating debt burdens associated with climate change and other transnational challenges.
The event will also focus on unlocking investment flows to accelerate progress towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and global climate and biodiversity targets, with particular emphasis on mobilising private sector capital for sustainable projects in emerging and developing economies.
Additionally, the conference is expected to explore strategies for ensuring a just transition to a sustainable future, encompassing green urban infrastructure, sustainable mobility solutions, and socially inclusive ecological transformation.
“Given its broad international reach and interdisciplinary approach, the HSC presents a unique opportunity to forge strategic alliances and drive transformative action. The diversity of perspectives represented at the conference, coupled with its integration of political, economic, and societal dimensions, solidifies its role as an influential global forum,” the organisers said.
As a global platform, it said the HSC provides an unparalleled space for shaping collective positions and fostering meaningful dialogue on shared objectives.
“As one of the foremost global platforms for sustainability discourse, the HSC fosters critical dialogue at the highest level, enabling heads of state and government, senior decision-makers, and key stakeholders to engage in discussions on pivotal issues such as climate justice, sustainable financing mechanisms, and the advancement of global partnerships,” the organisers said.
