Planetary, public, and personal health, well-being, and justice

This unique conference will provide the basis for a crucial and timely trans-disciplinary conversation and action for a path forward in this time of crisis at the intersection of health and sustainability. Featuring keynotes, panels, workshops, exhibits, and more from Concordia University faculty and students, as well as the ever-popular Careers panel, this 9th in the Sustainability across Disciplines conference series has the Loyola College for Diversity and Sustainability and the Loyola Sustainability Research Center partnering, for the first time, with the School of Health and Future Earth to focus the lens on cross-over between health and sustainability at all scales, from individual to planetary. The conference will take place on both campuses and some of it will also be live-streamed and recorded by Concordia's 4th Space for increased accessibility.

We acknowledge that Concordia University is located on unceded Indigenous lands. The Kanien’kehá:ka Nation is recognized as the custodians of the lands and waters on which we gather today. Tiohtià:ke/Montréal is historically known as a gathering place for many First Nations. Today, it is home to a diverse population of Indigenous and other peoples. We respect the continued connections with the past, present and future in our ongoing relationships with Indigenous and other peoples within the Montreal community.
