The Accountability for a Sustainable World annual conference has become a must-attend event for any keen to understand the latest wisdom on research and education in sustainability. Whether it is about climate disclosure policy, private finance and global food systems, or carbon capture tax credits, you will hear from the experts who have the answers. I am so grateful for the opportunities I have had to share my own research. The professionalism of the ASW and Climate Action team is top class.

Now in its 6th year, the 2026 Accountability in a Sustainable World Conference, as the flagship event of ASWQ, will continue to ask the hard questions and delve deeper into regulation, sustainability reporting, capital allocation, and performance metrics. The ongoing conversation will answer the immediate need for dialogue among academics and non-academics about sustainability, data and measurement, related assurance, high-quality information to inform responsible investment decisions, and accountability in setting personal, corporate, and public sector goals.
