--------------------
Papers are invited for "Resilience 2008: Resilience, Adaptation and Transformation in Turbulent Times," an international science and policy conference, being held on 14-17 April 2008 in Stockholm, Sweden. Submission of abstracts for oral and poster presentations are being accepted until Friday, 16 November 2007.
The overall framework of the conference stresses that society and nature represent truly interdependent social-ecological systems, social-ecological systems are complex adaptive systems, and cross-scale and dynamic interactions represent new challenges for governance and management in relation to interdependent social-ecological systems and ecosystem services.
The conference has proposed the following overall themes, with a few tentative sub-themes to be expanded and further developed during fall 2007. Each overall theme will have presentations in plenary.
- Resilience, global change, and globalization;
- Traps, regime shifts, and transformations;
- Adaptations and sources of resilience for dealing with change;
- Knowledge management and social-ecological learning;
- Adaptive governance and multilevel challenges;
- Complex systems, resource management, and economic development;
- Urban social-ecological system challenges;
- Freshwater, food, and ecosystem services in production landscapes; and
- Coastal and marine social-ecological challenges.
Resilience 2008 is organized by the Resilience Alliance in collaboration with the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and International Council for Science (ICSU). Local organizers are the Stockholm Resilience Centre at Stockholm University, Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI), and Beijer International Institute of Ecological Economics (Conference Secretariat).
