ESP Europe Regional Conference 2018
As the threats of climate change are becoming more noticeable, the importance of ecosystem services and natural capital as our ’life insurance’ is gaining more acknowledgement inside and outside the academic world.
The contributions of ecosystems to human well-being is essential but our understanding of ecosystem functions and services is still incomplete and mostly theoretical, whereas the demand from both policymakers and practitioners for guidance on how to implement ecosystem services thinking is growing.
Ecosystem services in a changing world: moving from theory to practice
Implementation of the ecosystem services concept into everyday decision making and practice is crucial to achieving the societal and economic paradigm shift needed for the transition to a more sustainable society, safeguarding biodiversity and restoring natural ecosystems.
To accelerate this transition the ESP Regional Europe conference 2018 is organised under the theme: ‘Ecosystem services in a changing world: moving from theory to practice’.
You are invited to participate in this conference and join the keynote speeches selected around this theme, attend the over 40 break-out sessions, take part in the business day which includes a marketplace and business-oriented session and make use of the network opportunities.
This conference welcomes anyone interested in ecosystem services but especially focusses on the science-policy-practice nexus and uptake within Europe.
The ESP Europe Regional Conference is part of the bi-annual cycle of ESP regional conferences around the globe. ESP conferences are open to both ESP members and non-members.
ESP members receive significant reductions to the conference registration fee and other benefits, however. ESP conferences are structured around the themes of the many ESP Working Groups.
Business & Ecosystem Services
To improve science-policy-business collaboration and uptake of ecosystem services, ESP organises a one-day business track, aimed at business representatives and others, who are interested in ecosystem services.
This day (Thursday) will consist of a business-oriented keynote speech, a business related session and a market place.
