Climate change, biodiversity loss, environmental disasters, and the scarcity of natural resources demand a new agenda for organizational management, public policies, and scientific development. The advancement of digital technologies, global regulatory criteria, and pressure from civil society call for integrated, innovative, and evidence-based solutions to face today’s socio-environmental challenges.

In this context, the XIII SINGEP-CIK invites researchers in the field of Sustainability to submit studies addressing major topics related to ecological transition, climate justice, regenerative economy, and the building of resilient societies. The event encourages submissions that explore these challenges through various methodological approaches, whether empirical or theoretical, involving qualitative and/or quantitative data. We seek research that advances academic knowledge and offers practical contributions to managers and policymakers. 

We invite the academic community to submit papers that contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the field of Sustainability, encouraging the exchange of ideas, experiences, and innovative approaches aimed at building solutions to the environmental, social, and economic challenges faced by contemporary society. We also aim to promote critical reflection and the application of solutions in different contexts and scales.
