ISAP has been organised in collaboration with many stakeholders over the years and has grown into a significant and exciting event where experts, international organisations, government, business and NGO representatives active in Japan and across the wider Asia-Pacific gather to engage in diverse discussions on sustainable development in the region. The overall theme of ISAP2023 is "Accelerating Sustainability Transitions in Asia and the Pacific: The Transformative Potential of Integration, Inclusion and Localisation", and discussions will focus on these three transformative dynamics to bring about advances in the sustainability agenda in the region.

Three Transformative Dynamics
1. Integration: Maximising synergies and minimising trade-offs across climate, biodiversity and circular economy are essential to advancing the sustainability agenda.      
2. Inclusion: Empowering all actors, including those currently marginalised or disadvantaged, to help shape the future they want can also inject much needed momentum into the sustainability agenda.
3. Localisation: Tailoring solutions to relevant contexts can foster ownership of, and support for, the sustainability agenda.

ISAP is significantly renewing its format this year. While the hybrid format of the plenary sessions will remain the same as in previous years, the online thematic track sessions, which until last year were held over several consecutive days following the plenary sessions, will be split over several days before and after the plenary sessions. Moreover, we will be launching ISAP Plus, which will function as a format for side events at significant international proceedings or conferences throughout the year. Detailed information and schedule of the plenary sessions, thematic tracks and ISAP Plus will be periodically shared via the newly-launched ISAP e-newsletter.
