This conference is hosted by The Earth Institute, Columbia University, New York City, in partnership with the International Sustainable Development Research Society and will take place from May 8 to 10, 2011.

The conference will serve as a forum for open and diverse intellectual discourse on the theme of Moving Toward a Sustainable Future: Opportunities and Challenges, with special focus on identifying steps towards sustainability that are ready for implementation on the local, regional and global scale. At the same time ISDRC17 will explore how progress in the field of sustainable development can be translated into political action in preparation for the Rio+20 conference in 2012.
