Speaking during the conference, Director, GASDI, John Agbonifo, said the international sustainable development dialogue brought together world-renowned scholars and other stakeholders in an effort to deepen the discourse and practice of sustainable development.

He said there are things the government, industries, and people can do to promote awareness among citizens and educate them about what is going on in the world.

He said the Government should provide incentive to make people act in accordance with their actions so that they will behave the way they should and those who default should be punished.

The Vice-Chancellor, UNIOSUN, Odunayo Adebooye, who was represented by the Deputy VC, Anthony Kola-Olusanya said the theme was an interdisciplinary area of research that involved the various environmental sub-disciplines.
