Governance Education Nexus for Sustainable Environment
Environmental vulnerability has now become a great concern for humans throughout the world. It revolves around urging humanity to adopt responsible and sustainable practices to mitigate the imbalances that have already been inflicted upon our earth. These imbalances, which encompass a spectrum of issues such as deforestation, pollution, habitat destruction, and resource depletion, now cast a long shadow over the very existence of life on the planet itself. The environment is a holistic system having two prominent and inseparable dimensions, one is natural and the other is social. Imbalances in human society have a direct and causal relationship with natural disorders. The cumulative impact of human actions has reached a critical juncture, putting the entire biosphere at risk. Imbalances in the ecosystem as well as in human society are mostly caused by improper and unjust human behaviour across the world. To face the situation concertedly, the United Nations declared in 2015 the SDGs for its member countries with the ultimate objective of peace and prosperity for people and the planet now and in future. Without a sustainable environment, it is very difficult to have the expected outcomes from SDGs. Environmental vulnerabilities are the product of unjust human behaviour, which is shaped by education and governance system. The proper nexus between governance and education founded on proper value premises is inevitably needed to bring fruitful change to the current situation.

Against the above backdrop, the 10^th International INSEARCH Conference on Governance in Society, Business and Environment will be held on February 23-24, 2025 with the main theme ‘Governance Education Nexus for Sustainable Environment’ at Bangladesh Academy for Rural Development (BARD), Cumilla, Bangladesh. The INSEARCH conference is organized by Netinsearch International  - Network for Integrative Research in collaboration with Asian Conference on Population and Development (ACPD), China, Center for Administrative Research and Innovation (CARI) of the University of Dhaka, Stamford University Bangladesh, GAIN International of Australia, EquJust of Tampere University in Finland, and Bangladesh Academy for Rural Development (BARD) Cumilla, Bangladesh.

Based on the spirit of ‘research for realization’ INSEARCH Conference is a cosmopolitan gathering of researchers, academics, experts, and practitioners from different fields. It serves as a multidisciplinary avenue for high-level interaction, discussion, and debate in a supportive, relaxed, and thoughtful atmosphere.
