About MCC
Mount Carmel College is the forerunner of holistic education, envisioning the transformation of students into professionals. We focus on providing students with a conducive environment that is merged with state-of-the-art facilities and learned faculty. Our pursuit is to humanise each student to participate in society as a responsible citizen, dynamic professional, and empathetic human. Our visionary endeavour, envisaged and promoted by our foundress, Mother Teresa of St. Rose of Lima, is to bask in the light of a “civilization of love”, by imparting knowledge and empathy.
About the Conference
This conference builds upon the vision of our institution to promote and inculcate sustainability. It seeks to bring together scholars, practitioners, civil society, and social benefit organizations to engage in meaningful dialogue and propose action-oriented discussions on the pressing issues of biodiversity, climate change, conservation strategies, and sustainable practices.
In the coming decades, the world will primarily be driven by technology and dramatic changes in Earth’s ecosystem. The scale and frequency of climate change-induced extreme weather events, zoonotic diseases like COVID-19, and human-wildlife clashes have transformed questions of environment, biodiversity, and sustainability into urgent, everyday life concerns. In this regard, we invite you all to this gathering to work towards building a sustainable future, exploring partnerships and collaborative initiatives, and promoting green and sustainable investment models and policies.
The conference will serve as a platform to raise awareness among the youth, share knowledge, and build collaborations to safeguard our natural, biodiversity, and heritage sites for future generations.
