PASC 2026 The Conference
Advancing Sustainability & Circular Economy Solutions for Africa's Future
Conference Overview
The Pan-African Sustainability Conference (PASC 2026) is a landmark continental convening bringing together leaders from across Africa and the international community. The event merges the Pan-African Sustainability Conference concept with the International Sustainability and Sanitation Expo and Tech Conference model.
PASC 2026 creates a major integrated continental platform for sustainability dialogue, innovation showcase, research and faculty collaborations, public-private-academic-NGO partnerships, and investment engagement — all centred around advancing Africa's circular economy future.
Spanning three dynamic days, the conference features high-level keynote addresses from government ministers and international partner organisations, immersive plenary panels on waste valorisation and green financing, parallel technical tracks, an innovation expo, a Youth Corner pitch competition, and full-day technical excursions to leading waste management facilities in Accra.
The event culminates in the prestigious Sanitation & Sustainability Awards Gala, celebrating excellence in circular economy leadership, sustainable technology, and community impact across Africa.
