The 20th International Conference in the Humanistic Ecology Series, entitled Ecological Challenges in the 21st Century: Between Nature and Society – Interdisciplinary Reflections on Environmental Crisis, will take place on 11–12 September 2026 in Chișinău (Republic of Moldova). This anniversary edition marks twenty years of the Humanistic Ecology conference series and brings together researchers from the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, education, law, and public policy to discuss the environmental challenges facing contemporary societies. Although the call for papers has closed, interested scholars, students, and practitioners are still invited to participate in selected online sessions. The conference program, including links to online sessions, is available on the conference website.

The conference is hosted by the “Ion Creangă” State Pedagogical University of Chișinău and academically coordinated by Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski University in Warsaw. It will be held in a hybrid format, enabling participation both on-site and online.

The program features plenary lectures and thematic sessions devoted to environmental philosophy, ethics, sustainability, environmental education, ecology, governance, environmental law, social resilience, and technological responses to environmental challenges. Participants represent academic institutions from Europe, Asia, Africa, and North America.

Readers of Studia Ecologiae et Bioethicae may be particularly interested to learn that selected conference papers will be considered for publication in Studia Ecologiae et Bioethicae, following the standard peer-review process.
