SUMMARY:3rd Global South Nexus Conference 
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:The 3rd Global South Nexus (GSN) International Conference will 
 be held in Odisha (India)\, during 23-25 January 2024. The theme of GSN 3 
 is “Creating Responsible Professionals for Advancing SDGs: Inputs from G
 lobal North and South”. This theme is a logical continuation of GSN 2 wh
 ich focused on “Localising SDGs for Built Environment and Communities: A
  North South Exchange”. The Conference is being hosted by Centurion Univ
 ersity of Technology and Management\, Odisha and co-hosted by Curtin Unive
 rsity\, Perth\, Australia\, and UNCTAD.  \n\nLocalising and advancing SD
 Gs have become buzz words in the realm of moving towards the 2030 targets.
  The complexity of challenges in achieving the targets is  being debated 
 all over the globe. One of the challenges is to identify the right kind of
  professionals to anchor and direct the implementation of SDGs.  The succ
 ess of achieving SDG strongly depends on the right and responsible profess
 ionals and their preparedness in taking the goals forward effectively. The
  conference aims to discuss the roles of universities\, professional insti
 tutes\, and government agencies in creating responsible professionals for 
 sustainable development.\n\nUNCTAD is hosting a Circular Economy Side Even
 t at the GSN 2024\, based on empirical learnings from the Sustainable Manu
 facturing and Environmental Pollution (SMEP) Programme. The session will 
 focus on innovative solutions for material circularity in a global south c
 ontext\, including materials that can substitute plastics and environmenta
 l goods and services\, and their applicability in critical sectors of the 
 economy.  Discussions will be held on plastic substitutes\, resource effi
 ciency\, and circular economy practices across various manufacturing indus
 tries in the African\, South Asian\, and Indo-Pacific regions based on rec
 ent evidence from the SMEP Programme. \n\nThe conference will be held in 
 hybrid mode for three days. \n\nJOIN CONFERENCE ONLINE\n\nAbout GSN\n\nTh
 e United Nations has set up a global agenda – to guide the world toward 
 sustainable development – with a focus on reducing poverty and inequalit
 y and promoting inclusion. This has come in the shape of policy directions
  like the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)\, the Bridgetown Convenant a
 nd UN-Habitat’s New Urban Agenda. These global agendas serve to influenc
 e the direction for much of future research\, especially in the discipline
 s/areas of urban planning\, architecture\, construction management\, mater
 ials science\, environmental management and community resilience. However\
 , there is an ongoing debate among both academics and practitioners on tra
 nslating global agendas into local contexts. There is also an increasing r
 ealisation of the need to promote an exchange of knowledge and sharing of 
 best practices and experiences between Global North and Global South. \nh
