The Global Development Conference is the flagship event of the Global Development Network, held in a different region and on a different theme each year. The conference hosts high-level, inclusive, evidence-based debates on current development challenges and priorities, with most participants from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), which is its trademark. This event enables Global North-South interactions between researchers, academics and policymakers aiming to foster a global network.
The 2024 edition of the Global Development Conference is focused on the theme ‘Global Synergies: Climate Resilience Strategies for a Sustainable Tomorrow’, taking place in Fiji from November 26-28, 2024, organised in partnership with the University of the South Pacific and the Government of Fiji, offering a dynamic environment for shared insights and transformative solutions.
This edition comes with a difference. The conference has been designed to transcend the traditional conference model and focus on not just plenary sessions, but also on capacity-building and networking activities, with regional priorities directly connected to the thematic focus.
