The summer of 2022 was a memorable and unique experience for all participants and organisers of the 28th annual conference of the International Sustainable Development Research Society – ISDRS 2022 in Stockholm.

On the same turf of the United Nations conference in Stockholm in 1972 and its Stockholm +50 sibbling, and after two annual online versions of the conference forced upon us, it was with great joy and pleasure we met up again in Stockholm, Sweden. With 35+ re-occurring tracks, a hybrid set-up of both on campus and online conferencing, and with six collaborating universities in Stockholm: Marie Cederschiöld University, Stockholm School of Economics, Swedish Defence University, Stockholm University of the Arts, Södertörn University and University College Stockholm, the conference committee truly took us on a complex challenge. The participants successfully navigated between five different campi while enjoying the this years conference with the overall theme ”Sustainable Development and Courage. Culture, Art and Human Rights”.

We were proud to accommodate over 400 delegates from 50+ countries and all six continents around the world, all of which engaging in the important endeavour of creating more knowledge to make our world a more sustainable one. The six key note panels can be view in its full length on the ISDRS YouTube channel launched in August 2022 with playlists for a few of the recent conferences.1 For this particular conference panels, please view the playlist for ISDRS 2022.2.
