ISLAMABAD, Oct 26 (APP):The Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI) will organize its 29th Sustainable Development Conference (SDC) from November 2-5, 2026 at Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU), Islamabad.
The theme of this year’s conference is “Rethinking Development in an Age of Disruption” which will bring together diverse voices to rethink development through three defining priorities including Economy, Environment and Equity.
