About the Conference
The One-Day National Conference on Sustainable Cities & Biodiversity Conservation: An Indian Knowledge System (IKS) Perspective seeks to address the growing challenge of creating sustainable and resilient urban spaces while safeguarding India's rich biodiversity.
As rapid urbanization continues to transform cities, modern planning approaches often neglect the balance between development and local ecosystems. This conference reconnects contemporary urban practices with the ecological wisdom embedded in the Indian Knowledge System.
By bringing together scholars, researchers, policymakers, environmentalists, and practitioners, the conference provides a platform for meaningful discussions on biodiversity conservation, environmental protection, and integrating traditional ecological knowledge with modern sustainability strategies.
