Hosted by the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN), the International Conference on Sustainable Development (ICSD) provided a forum for academia, government, civil society, UN agencies, and the private sector to come together to share practical solutions for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
History
In 2013, an ocean away from New York, a meeting was held in Dakar, Senegal, at the Université Cheikh Anta Diop to find solutions to the complex challenges of sustainable development. Participants felt that a larger conference was needed to bring others into the dialogue, and thus, the first ICSD was born. The first edition of ICSD took place in 2013 and continued annually through 2024.
