Climate change, the impact of which we are already feeling significantly, together with the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and together with these continuous war conflicts in the world, has greatly slowed down, even stopping the process of reaching the goals of the United Nations, which were imposed as common global values of sustainable development. What we at BHAAAS have recognized is the importance of that sustainable development, and through an interdisciplinary program we have secured four thematic symposia. - announced Tufek-Memišević.
