About Conference
The 2nd Nazarbayev University International Conference on Planetary Health and Sustainable Healthcare brings together regional and global leaders, researchers, policymakers, healthcare professionals, and innovators committed to transforming health systems for a sustainable future. Building on the success of the inaugural conference, this event advances the theme “Planetary Health in Action across Central Asia”, emphasizing the region’s unique environmental, social, and health system challenges and promoting locally relevant, globally informed solutions that strengthen both human and ecosystem well-being.

Centered on four strategic priorities, innovation, equity, environmental stewardship, and capacity building, the event will showcase practical approaches to climate-resilient healthcare delivery, sustainable health technologies, and resource-conscious system design. Particular emphasis is placed on reducing health disparities, supporting vulnerable communities, and ensuring that sustainability transitions are socially just and regionally inclusive. The conference serves as a platform for strengthening research collaboration, workforce development, and institutional capacity throughout Central Asia, while connecting the region to wider international sustainability and health initiatives.

Hosted by Nazarbayev University, the conference reflects NU’s leadership in interdisciplinary research and its commitment to supporting sustainable healthcare transformation across the region. The conference contributes to resilient, equitable, and environmentally responsible health systems for Central Asia and beyond by linking science, education, policy, and practice.
