Global Sustainability Forum 2026 to Bring International SDG Leaders to Tunis

TUNIS: The Global Sustainability Forum 2026 will be held in Tunis, Tunisia, in October, bringing together policymakers, sustainability experts, business leaders, academics, institutional representatives and young ambassadors from across the world to advance practical action on the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

Designed as a platform for international dialogue, recognition and collaboration, the forum will focus on workable responses to urgent global challenges, including climate change, responsible economic growth, social inclusion, ethical leadership, innovation and cross-border partnerships. Organisers expect participation representing more than 40 nationalities, with a strong presence from Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East.

The gathering will also serve as the concluding and recognition ceremony of the Global Goals Connections (GGC) Ambassadors 2026 programme, launched in March 2026. The programme has sought to build a multicultural network of sustainability advocates capable of translating the SDGs from global commitments into locally relevant initiatives. Public communications by GGC indicate that the Tunisia forum is scheduled for October 2026.

The choice of Tunis gives the forum a strategically important location at the meeting point of Africa, the Mediterranean and the Arab world. It is expected to enable wider South–South and North–South conversations on development priorities, climate resilience, entrepreneurship, education and inclusive growth.

The RELTTAW Association has announced a strategic partnership with Global Goals Connections, World Book of Records London, Global Ethix Canada and Global Ethix International in support of the forum. The partnership is expected to widen the event’s institutional reach, encourage knowledge exchange and recognise individuals and organisations demonstrating leadership in sustainability, education, innovation and social impact.

RELTTAW has previously collaborated with World Book of Records in international recognition and educational initiatives. World Book of Records London operates as a platform documenting and honouring notable achievements, while its recent international programmes have brought together participants from several countries.

SustainVerse.org will provide editorial coverage of the Tunis gathering. Its Editor-in-Chief, Prof Ujjwal K. Chowdhury, will attend the Global Sustainability Forum 2026 and report directly from the venue. He will also interview leading policymakers, sustainability practitioners, innovators, academics and other prominent participants, bringing their perspectives, solutions and commitments to SustainVerse’s readers and digital audiences. 

The forum is expected to underline an increasingly important message: achieving the 2030 Agenda will require more than declarations. It will demand measurable action, ethical partnerships, youth participation, institutional accountability and sustained cooperation between governments, businesses, universities, civil-society organisations and communities.
