Economic
development in China and the world faces many challenges, including: COVID-19, conflicts,
climate change, currency inflation and ageing populations. After the 20th
Party Congress in October 2022, China is shifting many of its policies to
address these challenges.
In this era of change, sustainable development
is critical as it provides a framework to meet the present generation’s needs while
preserving the ability of future generations to meet their own. With a rapidly
growing global population and increasing demand for natural resources, it is imperative
to balance economic, social, and environmental considerations to ensure a
stable and prosperous future for all. By tackling issues such as climate
change, poverty, and inequality, sustainable development can foster a more
resilient and equitable society.
As we navigate a changing era characterized
by technological advances like artificial intelligence, globalization, and
shifting demographics, sustainable development is becoming more relevant as a
guide for policy-making and business practices. It encourages innovation and collaboration,
and advocates for responsible resource management and inclusive growth.
Ultimately, sustainable development provides a pathway to a better future that
is both prosperous and equitable, while ensuring that our planet can continue
to support life for generations to come.
Given this context, the conference’s
main focus is on sustainable development in China and the world. Submitted
