Sustainable and Green Frontiers (SGF) is envisioned as an international forum that brings together a diverse community of researchers, scientists, environmentalists, technologists, policy makers, and academicians from across the globe to present their research, innovations, and insights while sharing their perspectives on some of the most pressing global challenges of our time. The conference is anchored around the guiding principles of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), providing a dynamic platform for dialogue and collaboration aimed at advancing solutions that are socially inclusive, environmentally sustainable, and scientifically robust. At SGF 2025, participants will explore cutting-edge innovations in materials science, biomolecular engineering, life sciences, environmental sustainability, climate resilience, and technological innovation. The forum will provide opportunities to deliberate on SDGs such as Zero Hunger (SDG 2), Good Health and Well-being (SDG 3), Clean Water and Sanitation (SDG 6), Affordable and Clean Energy (SDG 7), Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure (SDG 9), Climate Action (SDG 13), Life Below Water (SDG 14), and Life on Land (SDG 15).By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and encouraging the exchange of transformative ideas, SGF 2025 aspires to shape actionable strategies for sustainable agriculture, biodiversity conservation, renewable energy, clean technologies, and improved human well-being—aligning science, technology, and innovation with the collective vision of a greener and more sustainable future for all.
