The congress will cover themes including disaster and risk, climate adaptation, biodiversity, water and oceans, planetary health, Indigenous knowledge and much more.

For the first time, the congress will launch as a live virtual event with a diverse and innovative online program. In addition to the over one hundred sessions available throughout the day and night, thanks to the global reach of SRI and partners, the SRI2021 Online Package includes workshops, training and more.

Plenary speakers include: Sharan Burrow, General Secretary, International Trade Union Confederation; Meg Parsons, climate change adaptation specialist and IPCC author, University of Auckland; Joshua Gilbert, Australian Indigenous agriculturalist and innovator.

The congress will be opened by Paul Bertsch, Director of Land and Water, CSIRO; Tayanah O’Donnell, Director, Future Earth Australia (Australian Academy of Science); Erica Key, Executive Director, Belmont Forum; and Joshua Tewksbury, Interim Executive Director, Future Earth.

SRI is a joint initiative of Future Earth and the Belmont Forum. Australia, who hosts the Congress in 2021, has a unique role to play in the global community as a conduit between the Global North and the Global South, indigenous peoples and traditional sustainability practices. The local hosting consortium, led by Future Earth Australia and CSIRO, features academia and government partners from Brisbane and the State of Queensland to meet the breadth of the SRI2021 agenda.
