The Global Summit on SDGs: Harmonizing Biology, Environment, Agriculture, and Food (GS-SDG 2024) is an esteemed international forum dedicated to addressing the interconnected challenges in biological sciences, environmental sustainability, agriculture, and food systems. Scheduled for November 21, 2024, at the Java Heritage Hotel, Purwokerto, Indonesia, this summit will convene leading experts, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners from around the globe to explore innovative solutions and promote interdisciplinary collaboration.

With the theme "Harmonizing Biology, Environment, Agriculture, and Food for a Sustainable Future," GS-SDG 2024 will showcase keynote addresses from prominent speakers representing diverse regions including Hungary, Taiwan, New Zealand, and Indonesia. The conference will feature high-level panel discussions, a wide range of thematic tracks, and hands-on workshops designed to tackle pressing issues and advance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Participants will engage in interactive sessions and extensive networking opportunities, all aimed at fostering sustainable and inclusive growth. The conference will emphasize the integration of biological research with environmental stewardship, the advancement of sustainable agricultural practices, and the enhancement of food security. By bridging these critical areas, GS-SDG 2024 aims to improve global health outcomes and ensure equitable access to resources and opportunities for all.

Selected papers presented at GS-SDG 2024 will be published in the Bio of Web Conference, indexed in the Web of Science and Scopus databases. We invite you to join us in shaping a sustainable future through collaborative innovation and research.
