'Dynamic interlinkages between social and ecosystem changes: Towards a Europe-Africa partnership', Hulshort, the Netherlands
8 November 2010 - 8 November 2010
Netherlands
A conference on 'Dynamic interlinkages between social and ecosystem changes: Towards a Europe-Africa partnership' will take place in Hulshort, the Netherlands from 8 to 12 November 2010.
Effective sustainable development requires a holistic approach so that researchers and policy makers can best adapt decisions and better implement practices. The conference will discuss the social-ecological systems' interactions associated with specific landscapes, seascapes or coastal regions. There is remarkable geographic variability in policies, practices and outcomes for management of natural capital, flows of ecosystem services, and human outcomes. Presentations will come from a range of disciplines, research approaches and findings based on diverse sources of information including narrative, qualitative and quantitative data and historical records in addition to more traditional technical monitoring tools and remote sensing.
The conference will be structured around five themes:
- 'Social institutions and ecosystem changes',
- 'Managing tradeoffs between multiple ecosystem services',
- 'Resilience and vulnerability of social and ecosystems to climate change',
- 'Biodiversity, ecosystem change and human wellbeing',
- 'Drivers of ecosystem and social change'.For further information, please visit:
