2022 IRDO CONFERENCE
The 17th IRDO International Conference “SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE SOCIETY 2022: Green, digital, and inclusive transition: how to make it happen?” has been held on 2 – 3 June 2022, online. Conference was also the 2nd IRDO & Citizens’ Initiative for an Integral Green Slovenia Conference. More than 100 participants, 70 authors with 36 papers from more than 10 countries have co-created this conference. The European Business Network for Corporate Sustainability and Responsibility (CSR Europe) was honorary sponsor of the conference. Organizers were IRDO – Institute for the Development of Social Responsibility, University of Maribor, Slovenia, Slovenian Society for Systemic Research (SdSr) and Citizens’ Initiative for an Integral Green Slovenia. This event was an official Partner Event of the EU Green Week (30 May to 5 June 2022). In 2022 – the European Year of Youth organizers decided to support young Ukrainian musicians in Slovenia with donations among conference participants. The main purpose of the conference was to explore conceptual framework(s), conditions and possibilities for a green, digital and inclusive transition – in line with the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (17 SDGs). A precondition for sustainable coexistence is SR behaviour of each stakeholder in the community (local, national, global). Without broad environmental and SR, there is no survival of humanity. SR is a tool for achieving a sustainable future, connecting and integrating several other mechanisms. SR is a crucial practice, needed in the entire society. The IRDO 2022 conference emphasis was on the implementation of a green, digital and inclusive transition as embraced by the European Green Deal (EGD) and other EU priorities and policies, including the Recovery and Resilience Facility/Plans. The EGD puts sustainability and, therefore, SR at the heart of the EU policy-making, reflecting the need for systemic change. More: https://www.irdo.si/.
