#MFICSE2026 | Sustainability Education for Transformative Action

The challenges of our time require more than awareness, they require collaboration, innovation, and action.

Join educators, policymakers, industry leaders, researchers, and youth changemakers at the 8th International Conference on Sustainability Education as we explore how learning can equip societies to navigate climate challenges, accelerate sustainable development, and prepare future generations for a rapidly changing world.

Together, we can shape education systems that empower people to drive meaningful change for communities and the planet.

Topical Day | World Migratory Bird Day

Every year, billions of birds cross continents, connecting ecosystems that sustain life across regions.

As they move, they do more than migrate. They control pests, disperse seeds, and support wetlands that millions depend on.

But these journeys are changing. And understanding how they are changing depends on something simple: observation.

This year’s theme, “Every Bird Counts – Your Observations Matter,” highlights how individual sightings help build the data needed to protect migratory birds and their habitats.

In Guwahati, climate change isn’t a distant story. It’s already here.

At the southern edge of India lies one of the country’s richest ecological treasures, home to ancient forests, endangered leatherback turtles, coral reefs, and the indigenous Shompen community, Great Nicobar Island is now at the centre of one of India’s biggest development debates.

A ₹81,000 crore mega project promises ports, connectivity, and strategic growth. But it also raises urgent questions about biodiversity, indigenous rights, and the future of fragile ecosystems. Does development always have to come at the cost of nature? Maybe not.

Around the world, countries are finding ways to balance infrastructure with conservation through science-backed planning, wildlife protection, and community-led decision making. And perhaps this is India’s opportunity to show that economic ambition and ecological responsibility can move forward together.
