„Let’s do it“
The Organizing Committee is trying to keep the footprint and environmental impacts of #IMC25 small – the final success will depend on all of us. Social sustainability in a world of large disparities is as much a concern of IMC as environmental sustainability. Supported by the partner organisations, IMC strives for cultural and geographical diversity.
