第三届社会科学与文化研究国际会议平行方向：环境、社会与治理研讨会（ESG-ICSSCS 2026）

会议简介


The Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Seminar is a parallel track within ICSSCS 2026, dedicated to exploring the intersection of environmental sustainability, social responsibility, and governance in contemporary societies. This seminar provides a focused platform for environmental scientists, social scholars, policy researchers, and business practitioners to discuss how sustainable development strategies can reshape social governance frameworks and address global challenges.


Grounded in the broader theme of ICSSCS 2026 — “Bridging Theories, Cultures, and Futures” — this track examines how institutions across different jurisdictions engage with issues of sustainability, public policy, and cross-cultural responsibility through ESG frameworks. It invites contributions that bridge ESG theoretical research with practical governance challenges in an increasingly interconnected world. As a vital bridge between East and West, Macau’s unique geographical location and multicultural background provide an exceptional context for exploring cross-cultural ESG practices at this seminar.
