The 2nd ICEST will convene in Indonesia due to the country's strategic location in Southeast Asia, which faces significant environmental challenges such as deforestation, biodiversity loss, and climate vulnerability. Indonesia serves as a critical case study for understanding and addressing these issues, making it an ideal host for discussions on sustainable development and environmental protection.
Moreover, the conference is supported by international academics from various countries that also confront similar environmental challenges. These scholars bring diverse perspectives and expertise, enriching the conference with insights and solutions applicable globally. Their involvement underscores the conference's commitment to fostering international cooperation and knowledge exchange in tackling shared environmental and sustainability issues. Together, the conference in Indonesia and its international academic support catalyze actionable initiatives and collaborations that promote environmental resilience and sustainable development across borders.
