IDOS at the Hamburg Sustainability Conference (HSC) 2025

Location / Date
Hamburg, 01.07.2025 until 01.07.2025

Organizer

German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the Michael Otto Foundation and the City of Hamburg. The operational organizer of the conference is the non-profit company Hamburg Sustainability Conference gGmbH.

The HSC is a new conference format aimed at fostering the implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). At the HSC, leading minds from politics, business, science and civil society plan the implementation of joint processes to achieve the SDGs. In times of increasing geopolitical crises, the HSC promotes multilateral exchange, encourages open dialogue and aims to strengthen trust in international partnerships. The discussions focus on the design of political frameworks for joint action and the co-creation of breakthroughs to achieve the SDGs. The HSC aims to strengthen the role and responsibility of all stakeholders, including the private sector, in new sustainability alliances. The programme of the first HSC is clustered around three key issues:

  1. How can the international financial architecture be reshaped to support sustainability?
  2. How to unleash investments for the SDGs?
  3. How can just transformations be leveraged through promoting climate resilience and reducing emissions in cities, green logistics and mobility, preserving biodiversity, responsible AI and digitalization, reducing conflicts and global health?

As the scientific partner of the HSC, IDOS supports the conference process with its scientific expertise and international networks on key sustainable development issues. IDOS is involved in the organization of round tables, the preparation of policy briefs and various sessions at the HSC, among others on the topics of

  • Financing sustainable development in disruptive times
  • Trade and international cooperation in disruptive times
  • climate
  • Building trust and developing political contexts for the sustainability transition

IDOS also contributes to the effective involvement of younger generations at the HSC through the participation of young experts from the Managing Global Governance programme.
