The two-day event is expected to attract up to 1,000 participants from academia, government agencies, NGOs, and the general public.
“It will bring together policymakers, scientists, scholars, and thought leaders to deliberate on the critical intersection of human and environmental well-being.”
Among the distinguished speakers will be Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg, and the Mufti of Sarawak, Sahibus Samahah Datuk Kipli Yassin.
“The seminar programme will feature high-level dialogues on ethics, with a special focus on Islamic perspectives, alongside sessions covering green technology and environmental governance,” Misnu added.
