A new paradigm for research, informed decision-making and development of science-based policy is emerging at the very heart of the sustainability transition to reverse non-sustainable trends:
Reconciling society's development goals with the planet's environmental limits
Understanding the fundamental character of interactions between nature and society
Advancing the social and technological knowledge related to sustainability, and
using such knowledge for action
Balancing social and environmental well-being, quality of life, and equity with
wise-management and conservation of natural resources
Key topics will focus on emerging research and policy in, a) sustainability science, b)
the ecology of cities, c) landscape ecology scale, spatial patterns, organizational levels, and ecological processes, and d) related topics in resource exploitation and
management, the valuation of natural and social capital, habitat and biodiversity conservation, social learning, ecosystem-based management, and integrated watershed-coastal zone management.
