On behalf of the Alliance of Chinese and European Business Schools (ACE), the School of Business, Economics and Law at the University of Gothenburg is hosting a one-and-a-half-day conference that explores how sustainable development is understood or should be conceived in the context of global infrastructure initiatives. The conference will be held in a hybrid format.
Sustainable development as a key organizing concept has assumed an omnipresent status and can now be found in most, if not all, policy instruments, business statements, political speeches, formal and informal discussions. Sustainable development frame is considered critical in resolving global challenges such as poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, and injustice that we face as a society. This frame has assumed greater importance considering COVID-19 led circumstances and is being utilised as a guiding force for governments attempting to revitalize national and regional economies with added resilience.
