Nine years remained to the deadline the world had given to itself in the Rio Conference of 1992 for fulfilment Sustainable Development Goals before the recent UN Conference on Climate Change was held in Glasgow. If there was any display of unity between the Global North and the Global South, it was visible in their unanimous agreement of pushing the deadlines further away. Apart from that even today the tussle between the developed and the developing nation remains to be same. There have been numerous conferences and academic discourses undertaken in the last three decades which try to unravel this seemingly impossible balance of conserving the environment and development of nations. The solutions perhaps are also deferred to forever extending deadlines, never to culminate into reality. There were many sterling statements made during the 2021 COP, such as Tuvalu’s Head of the State standing knee deep in the ocean to highlight the plight of the sinking island due to rise in sea level, however these statements would only remain to be mere lip service theatrics unless the nations of the world do not materialise the principles of intergenerational equity and a collective responsibility towards Environment as an individual being.
This Conference aims to bring questions of Intergenerational Equity into sharp relief in the light of the recent developments, global and domestic events that highlight the drawbacks and lacuna of an anthropocentric environmental discourse. We hope to create a space where alternative ideas of environment, distinct from the current one which is revolving around the notions of propriety-ship, may be imagined and discussed. Whether our rivers and forests are the property of the nation or legal personalities in their own sense? Whether this distinct legal personality, which is that of a human being, enough to protect environment? Whether calling these entities- air, water, living animals, minerals, stones and rocks as “resources”-defeat our larger scheme of conservation of environment? These are few of the many questions that are hoped to be addressed in this Conference. The unresolvable conflict between the Global North and South seems to be a diversion which shadows these extremely pertinent questions poised before our future generations, who perhaps need a re-imagination of Earth and its various natural entities, which have suffered massive exploitation with incomprehensible reparations.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Mental Well-being: Challenges, Opportunities, and Future Trends
About the theme
Diversity The term “diversity” describes a broad variety of personal distinctions, including racial and ethnic background, sexual preference, gender, socio-economic level, and others. Diversity generates a complex array of viewpoints, experiences, and skills since it is valued and acknowledged. Diversity fundamentally challenges us to face our preconceptions and inequities while giving us the groundwork to promote advancement and creativity. Taking advantage of diversity’s potential is an investment in a more prosperous, just, and energetic future. We may modify our methods to build workplaces and cultures that really honour and profit from the distinctive array of human experiences by keeping an eye out for new trends.
Equity While taking into consideration historical disadvantages and structural impediments, “equity” entails providing equitable opportunities and resources for every person. By doing so, it aims to even up the competition and guarantee that every individual has a fair chance at success. The search for equity is a continual process that necessitates teamwork. A more equitable and inclusive future may be created through recognising difficulties, taking benefit of possibilities, and adjusting to changing trends. We can create conditions where everyone, regardless of background or situation, has a fair chance to grow and contribute by prioritising equality throughout all spheres of society.
Inclusion “Inclusion” refers to the process of fostering an atmosphere in which people of all backgrounds are not just seen but also actively involved and empowered. All views get heard and appreciated in inclusive environments, which promote a sense of belonging. Continual progress towards inclusion necessitates shared commitment. We will be able to build a society where everyone is accepted, appreciated, and given the opportunity to offer their best work.
Mental Well-being Mental health is now seen as being essential to a person’s general wellness and standard of life. As we explore the nuances of mental health, we come across a landscape of potential obstacles. Eliminating the barriers of obtaining help, requires taking important measures including increasing awareness, encouraging honest dialogues, and busting myths. In this changing environment, promoting mental well- being necessitates a multifaceted strategy that includes public awareness, legislative modifications, readily available services, and a dedication to destigmatization. We can collaboratively create a future where mental health is a top priority, benefiting both individuals and communities, by seizing opportunities and adjusting to new trends.
Summary These ideas are closely related to one another. By lessening feelings of loneliness, establishing a sense of society as a whole and minimising the psychological effects of biases, inclusive settings that appreciate diversity and encourage fairness contribute to the good mental health of its inhabitants. Additionally, sensitively treating mental health is an essential component of developing inclusive environments since it guarantees that people from all walks of life receive the assistance they require. Organisations and communities that place a high priority on diversity, equity, inclusion, and mental wellness see a rise in creativity, productivity.
