This year’s celebration would be unique. This time, we decided to do something different. Participants can write and present articles on the following sub-themes alongside the keynote speakers and other distinguished professionals.

Therefore, all registrants can submit and present original research articles under the following sub-themes:

Education

  • Governance: Development of reliable strategies to foster environmental protection and disaster awareness

  • Policy-Making: Revising educational curricula to meet UN sustainability goals

  • Sensitization: Promoting community awareness of non-environmental-friendly human activities

  • Finance: Allocating funds to boost adequate sensitization on ecological impact at all levels

  • Grassroots Involvement: Employing cultural and religious affiliations in achieving sustainability goals

Energy

  • Alternative Sources: Exploring under-harnessed energy alternatives as a possible diversion from fossil fuels

  • Diversification: Avoiding total reliance on a sole energy source to boost competition and avert possible scarcity

  • Intelligent Use: Economical use of unreplenishable energy while improving the contribution of renewable energy in the global energy pool

  • Investment: Developing roadmaps for the proliferation of renewable energy

  • Research: Providing grants and rewarding breakthrough discoveries in green research and clean technology

  • Equal Access: Speeding the pace of technological development of less-developed countries and ensuring equitable access to clean energy

Environment and Sustainability

  • Future Preparation and Adaptation: Developing frameworks that promote minimal use of scarce resources and ward off scarcity

  • Sustainable Communities: Assessing the role of green towns and intelligent cities in managing wastes and preserving resources

  • Green Ecosystems: Researching ways of maintaining minimal interruption in natural ecosystems and nutrient cycles

  • Pollution Management: Reducing activities that increase environmental pollutants, including noise

  • Resource Security: Promoting equal access to essential resources across various nations while reserving enough for future generations

Economics

  • Market Forces: Balancing demand and supply of environmental resources to match production

  • Recycling: Assessing the benefits of sustainable practices like recycling and resource conservation on the environment

  • Natural Resources Audit: Adding ecological resources and natural capital depreciation to accounts in national budgets

  • Cost-Benefit Analysis: Review long-term effects of human activities on the earth as opposed to their benefits

  • Pricing: Balancing environmental resources against market forces to ensure healthy competition and equal access to all

All participants - keynote speakers, panelists, presenters, and the audience have the opportunity to submit and deliver their researched articles on the sub-themes listed above.

This will be an all day event featuring more than fifteen notable speakers who will deliver their research and presentations at the opening ceremony. Followed by breakout sessions anchored by moderator who manages the speakers, presentations, and timing.

Keynote Speakers

These distinguished experts get a maximum of 30 minutes each to deliver their research. The first 20 minutes go to their presentation, where they groom the audience with facts on their choice subtheme.

Then, each keynote speaker has about 10 minutes to address and answer all questions from the audience.

Presenters

Twelve minutes are given to each professional to deliver their articles and presentations. Also, this time includes the one for questions and answers. So, each presenter should lay their facts straight and address all inquiries within this timeframe.

Each presenter has ten minutes for the lecture and the remaining two minutes to answer participants' questions.

Other Participants

This year, we decided to give participants the chance to showcase their bright ideas to the world. So, registrants who submitted their original well-researched articles on any sub-theme above have seven minutes each to deliver their lecture.

The first five minutes go to their presentation, where they drill the panelists and audience with innovative solutions to environmental problems. Finally, they have two minutes to answer questions and clear any doubts about their solutions.

MEDIUM FOR ATTENDANCE

This year’s symposium would be hosted virtually. All participants will receive a link for the video conference via email. If you're presenting, you'll get a link for your designated lecture session. This way, you'll be able to join and participate in real-time with other professionals across different fields.

The conference will be live-streamed, interested participants can join and watch from anywhere around the globe. As a result, you need a webcam and microphone connected to your mobile phone or computer to participate actively. Also, make sure these equipment are working and in good condition before the presentation.

After registering, other necessary details such as schedule and time allocation about the World Environment Day conference, will be sent via email in due course.
