Call for Papers:

The 4th BESRA International Conference on Sustainability Transformation: Policies and Practices – ICSTPP is a global forum dedicated to advancing actionable solutions for a more sustainable future. Bringing together academics, policymakers, business leaders, and community stakeholders, the conference explores how innovative policies and practical approaches can drive meaningful change in environmental, social, and economic systems.

Through keynote presentations, panel discussions, and interactive sessions, participants will examine pressing sustainability challenges and share strategies that work in diverse contexts. The program emphasizes the integration of research, policy, and practice—fostering collaboration across disciplines and sectors to accelerate the transition toward resilient and inclusive societies.

This year’s conference provides an opportunity not only to learn from leading experts but also to build networks that can inspire and support long-term impact. Whether you are contributing research findings, shaping policy, or implementing community-based initiatives, the conference offers a platform to amplify your efforts and engage with a global community committed to transformation.

Together, we aim to move beyond dialogue toward concrete actions that make sustainability an attainable reality.

Held in hybrid mode to ensure broad accessibility and global participation, the conference aims to explore innovative policies, practical frameworks, and transformative strategies that are shaping the future of sustainability across sectors and regions.

The ICSTPP Conference invites scientific papers in the form of research article, conceptual paper, review report, and technical report addressing the recent issues in business, management, business sustainability, and social sciences.
