The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), were adopted by all UN Member States in 2015 as a call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure peace and prosperity for all by 2030.

This conference aims to discuss and highlight the impact of the pandemic, major lessons that can be learned and policy interventions needed to maintain inclusivity, safety, resilience and sustainability of our urban areas. The broad theme of the conference is: “COVID-19 and Issues of Urban Sustainability in India and Canada.” The sub-themes of the conference are as follows:
