Dear Colleagues,

 

The Centre for Global Peace, Justice and Health (CGPJH) is pleased to partner with the Future of Our Planet Conference 2026 (FOP2026), an international interdisciplinary academic conference to be held from November 22–24, 2026, at McMaster Innovation Park in Hamilton and hosted by the Planetary Health Initiative at McMaster University. 

FOP2026 brings together leading researchers, academics, and practitioners from around the world to address the defining challenges of our time. The conference is organized around three interconnected themes — Clean Energy, Ecosystem Health, and Human Wellbeing — reflecting the understanding that planetary health requires coordinated, cross-disciplinary thinking and action.

Over three days, participants will engage in keynote presentations, invited talks, and open academic sessions designed to foster meaningful dialogue across disciplines and institutions. The conference will take place at McMaster Innovation Park in Hamilton, Ontario, a hub for research, innovation, and collaboration. We welcome attendees from academia, research institutions, and practice communities whose work connects to one or more of the conference themes.
