It is better for all of us to work with each other and not against each other. And we are creating the framework for this to happen. This is how new alliances and models for cooperation are emerging.

Rethink. Reorganize. Act.

The Hamburg Sustainability Conference (HSC) stands as a catalyst for global change, dedicated to forging partnerships and developing innovative solutions for today’s most urgent challenges. With a clear mission to drive sustainable change and accelerate the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the HSC provides a platform where ideas and visions are translated into concrete solutions for measurable progress.

The first HSC on Oct 7–8, 2024 brought together 1,600 global leaders from politics, business, science, and civil society, representing 102 countries, all united in taking decisive steps toward achieving the UN SDGs. Through vibrant dialogue, trust-building, and solution-oriented collaboration, the HSC focused on addressing some of today’s most pressing global challenges while fostering impactful, long-term partnerships. In over 60 sessions, participants explored ways to reshape international financial systems, increase investments in sustainable development, and harness innovation for transformative change. Together, they rethought, reorganized, and took concrete steps toward creating a sustainable future for all.

Join us at the third Hamburg Sustainability Conference on June 29–30, 2026.
