First Call
We are happy to announce the First Call for the 88thInternational Scientific Conference on Economic and Social Development - "Roadmap to NetZero Economies and Businesses".
To protect human health and economic growth, both economies and businesses are urged to limit global warming to no more than 1.5°C. If emissions continue to grow with the existing rate, it is expected that by 2030, the world will reach threshold of dangerous climate change. Avoiding it will require rapid and radical transformation of every sector of the global economy - halving global emissions by 2030 and reaching "net zero" carbon emissions by 2050.
There is an imperative on all organizations to make achieving net zero a primary goal to all short, medium and long term strategy and decision making. A rising number of top organizations, governments, and investors are committing to net zero, seeing it as a way to spur innovation, boost competitiveness, and stimulate long-term growth.
Topics are focused, but not limited to recent challenges in modern national economies and business enterprises.In cooperation with: Ministry of Energy & Infrastructure, UAE, Faculty of Management University of Warsaw, Faculty of Law, Economics and Social Sciences Sale - Mohammed V University in Rabat, ENCGT - Ecole Nationale de Commerce et de Gestion de Tanger/ Abdelmalek Essaadi University and Polytechnic of Medimurje in Cakovec
