Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."

The Report of the U.N. Brundtland Commission, Our Common Future, 1987

"You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete."

Buckminster Fuller, philosopher, futurist and global thinker (1895 - 1983)

"History teaches us that men and nations behave wisely once they have exhausted all other alternatives"

Abba Eban

19th SDEWES conference was held from 8 to 12 September 2024 in Rome, Italy, and it brought together 700 scientists, researchers, and experts in the field of sustainable development from 62 countries and six continents, out of whom 570 attended onsite and 130 online.

We  listened to 505 oral presentations and had the chance to see 91 poster presentations during four poster presentations. There were 65 regular and  12 special sessions plus four keynote plenary lectures and two panels given by some of the most distinguished experts in the field.

We hope you were as happy as we were as we again had the chance to meet, mingle and share new ideas in person at the eternal city of Rome at the biggest Sdewes conference so far.
