SIDA Spring Conference 2026: Climate, justice and global challenges

Climate, justice and global challenges: Scotland’s role in a changing world. Join us for SIDA's Spring Conference on Tuesday 10th March

We're delighted to invite our members and community to join us for our 2026 Spring Conference.

SIDA’s Spring Conference will bring members together to explore how the accelerating climate emergency is shaping global justice responses and development practice. With a keynote address, panel discussions and interactive workshops, the event will create space for shared learning, practical reflection and networking, focusing on Scotland’s role and responsibilities in an increasingly complex global context.

We'll be returning to the COSLA Conference Centre, right next to Haymarket Station in Edinburgh, and streamed online for those attending remotely. The agenda will include keynote speakers, interactive panel discussions, breakout workshop sessions, and networking opportunities.

Arrivals and refreshments from 9:00am with the agenda starting at 9:30am. After the sessions, a networking lunch will be available between 1:30pm - 2:15pm.

We have lots of exciting opportunities for exhibitors, sponsors and speakers, so if you're interested, please contact Francis Rodgers at the SIDA office for more information. Details are available at https://intdevalliance.scot/events/sida-spring-conference-2026/
