About the Conference

The 2026 ISCN Conference will bring together sustainability leaders from around the world to share insights, foster collaboration, and explore innovative solutions for a more sustainable future. The conference offers a platform for universities to showcase their sustainability strategies, exchange best practices, and engage in meaningful dialogue.

Why Cape Town?

Situated at the foot of the iconic Table Mountain, UCT provides a unique setting for this year’s conference. With striking landscapes and a vibrant culture, Cape Town offers an inspiring environment for meaningful discussions and collaboration.

“South Africa, and Cape Town in particular, vividly showcase the stark contrasts that many of the SDGs are trying to address: breathtaking natural beauty and immense wealth alongside extreme environmental degradation and severe poverty and inequality. Experiencing these extremes firsthand, while observing how the University of Cape Town navigates this complex reality, will provide a compelling foundation for deeper engagement within the network at this conference.”

–Manfred Braune, Director of Environmental Sustainability at UCT
