Call for Papers AAPA-CSIE join workshop on an integrated approach for the SDGs in Asia 

The Asian Association for Public Administration (AAPA) and the Chinese  Society for Industrial Ecology (CSIE) are calling for papers to be presented  at their joint research workshop on an integrated approach for the SDGs in  Asia. The workshop will be hosted by Tsinghua’s Institute for Sustainable  Development Goals on July 23th. It will take a hybrid mode  accommodating both online attendees and those coming to Tsinghua.

Theme and topics 

The workshop aims to encourage intellectual dialogues about regional,  national and cross-country experiences for social economic development  and transition in alignment with the SDGs among Asian countries. Both  empirical analysis and theoretical contribution are welcome.  Interdisciplinary communications and comparative policy studies are  especially encouraged. Each contribution to the workshop should consider  multiple, but not necessarily all the SDGs. Topics of the workshop include,  but not limit to:  

  • Evaluation of the progress and transformation pathways for achieving the SDGs 
  • Impact of emerging technologies, new business models, and upgraded  infrastructure on the SDGs
  • Synergies and trade-offs between the SDGs and other policy agendas,  such as decarbonization, circular economy, high-quality development 
  • Prioritization and policy evaluation for a network of targets of the  SDGs for swift transition 
  • Sustainable governance and inter-jurisdictional/regional collaboration  
  • Other challenges for achieving the SDGs in post-pandemic Asia
