Embracing Sustainability

The Micronutrient Forum 7th Global Conference (MNF 2026) is dedicated to the incorporation of sustainable meeting practices and initiatives that transcend mere slogans and translate into tangible accomplishments.

We strongly hold the belief that each of us has a role in safeguarding the well-being of future generations, both on a local and global scale. As such, our efforts in orchestrating MNF 2026 are guided by sustainability – a commitment that extends to our planet, environment, and all stakeholders associated with the event. This encompasses not only the organizing team, committees, and partners, but also the esteemed delegates who grace our gathering.

MNF 2026 and the Sustainable Development Goals

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs, also known as the Global Goals) are 17 goals with 169 targets that all UN Member States have agreed to work towards achieving by the year 2030. They set out a vision for a world free from poverty, hunger, and disease.

At MNF 2026 we want to do our part to promote the achievement of these goals in our own value chain. The SDGs that we support and work towards are:

Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages

At MNF 2026, we firmly believe that well-being is not just a desirable outcome, but an essential core value that underpins all aspects of our conference. As professionals in the field of nutrition, we have a moral responsibility to prioritize the well-being of our patients, colleagues, and society as a whole. By placing well-being at the forefront, we demonstrate our commitment to ethical principles that guide our work and promote the highest standard of care.

Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all

Supporting accessible high-quality education for our community is our top priority. As we meticulously plan and execute the conference, our focus remains on refining the program, integrating more inclusive alternatives, bolstering onsite participation, eradicating gender disparities in education, and securing the continuous learning of our participants.

#MNF2026 initiatives include:

  • High-Quality & Comprehensive Program– Carefully crafted by an international team of experts in nutrition. We aim to introduce new relevant topics and invite the best international experts.
  • Promoting Sustainable Development– We enquire and opt for more sustainable options from our vendors, openly communicate our efforts to do better and encourage our partners and participants to reduce their footprint too.
  • Hybrid Attendance: Embracing the evolving dynamics of global connectivity, MNF 2026 introduces a hybrid program that bridges the gap between physical presence and virtual engagement. This innovative approach allows participants from around the world to seamlessly join the conference, regardless of their geographical location.
Reduce inequality within and among countries

MNF 2026 is all about reducing inequalities within countries and populations. In addition to fighting deficiencies in nutrition and building resilience among vulnerable populations, #MNF2026 is dedicated to reducing the inequality in the accessibility of quality education for all, by hosting each meeting in a different region and offering hybrid attendance, ensuring that attendants from each continent can learn from and share their expertise.
