The Global Sustainable Development Congress 2026, convened by Times Higher Education, brings together the world's leading thinkers, policymakers and actors from different sectors to drive new alliances and create positive action for a more sustainable future.

It promotes cross-sector collaboration between higher education, government, business and civil society to improve health and education, eradicate poverty, reduce inequality, tackle climate change and stimulate economic growth.

Over four days, 400+ expert sustainability speakers will share their insights on health, sustainable cities, clean energy, AI, gender equality and environmental protection.

The congress will feature an exclusive live preview of the THE Impact Rankings 2026, the only global performance table that assesses universities against the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Join us in Jakarta on 22–25 June 2026 to create positive action for a better tomorrow and be part of the next global call to action.
