Ninth International Conference on Ecosystems and Sustainable Development, Bucharest, Romania
18 June 2013 - 18 June 2013
Romania
The Ninth International Conference on Ecosystems and Sustainable Development will take place from 18 to 20 June 2013 in Bucharest, Romania.
In light of the rapid changes in large-scale human and biophysical processes - carbon emissions, population increase and migrations, overharvesting and pollution leading to a loss in biodiversity - scientists are worried that many of the socio-ecological systems existing today may collapse by the end of the 21st century. Previous efforts to impose simple solutions to these complex problems have frequently led to worse outcomes than the problems initially addressed. These issues require a strong interdisciplinary science encompassing complex, multilevel systems that will enable, over time, a coherent approach. The forum will be a platform for various stakeholders working on ecological systems and sustainable development with a focus on integrating thermodynamics, ecology and economics into a new science called 'ecodynamics'.For further information, please visit:
