Sustainable Development: Literary, Ethical and Religious Perspectives

About this event

Organised collaboratively by St. Alloycious College, Elthuruth, Thrissur, Kerala, the Journal of Dharma and Globethics.net India, this virtual conference will showcase literary, ethical and religious perspectives of sustainable development.

Sustainable development presents an ideal model of development, taking into account the needs of the present generation as well as of posterity via judicious use of natural resources. The seventeen Sustainable Development Goals identified and adopted by all United Nations Member States intend to eradicate poverty, eliminate inequality, address environmental degradation, and ensure peace and justice globally by 2030.

Much of the discussion in this area focuses on the economic, social, and political dimensions implicit in these ideas. However, the significant role that literary, ethical and religious perspectives play in envisaging and developing a sustainable ethos must also be considered, as they could significantly contribute towards moulding better humans and, therefore, better societies.

Literary endeavours, both creative and educational, can ideally be a meeting point capable of eliciting and sustaining such discussions.

Learning objectives

Intended for academicians, faculty and research scholars, the conference attempts to be a novel venture, initiating and inviting innovative observations and thought-provoking discussions on the sustainable development goals through literary, ethical, and religious lenses.
