The goal of the summit is to envision and contribute to strategies for science for parks and science using parks for the coming decades by building on the historic linkage between NPS and scientists at leading universities and other organizations around the world. This collaboration will be crucial to nurture the future health of parks and protected areas worldwide and biodiversity conservation. The Summit re-dedicates that partnership in a forward-looking way by examining the mission of the National Park Service and its relevancy today, scientific and management implications of this mission in a changing world, social and cultural dimensions for advancing the mission, and the future of science for parks and parks for science. ...

European landscapes are being reshaped by the growth in renewable energies and the ongoing exploitation of fossil resources such as lignite (brown coal) and shale gas. These forces are at the heart of debates on the assessment, appropriate design and governance of the emerging energy landscapes. European and national policies for energy transitions challenge conventional ways of perceiving and thinking about landscapes as well as established planning routines. Key questions are: Perception – How is the character, perception, assessment and social construction of landscapes influenced by present and past uses of energy? Planning – Which types of landscape-related planning and governance regimes exist and how are they linked to landscape planning, spatial planning and energy policy? Participation – In the face of energy transitions, to what extent are landscape policies inclusive and participatory? Which actors are involved and who is constituted as an actor in this regard? Power – Which power relations shape the interplay of energies and landscapes? How can the workings of power be conceptualised and critically reflected? ... [Information of the supplier]
Ressourceneffizienz und Schutz der biologischen Vielfalt – dies sind zwei wichtige Ziele nachhaltiger Entwicklung. Auch für die "grüne", die ökologisch nachhaltige Stadtentwicklung sind sie von zentraler Bedeutung. Zugleich bringen diese Nachhaltigkeitsziele für kommunales Handeln teils widersprüchliche Implikationen mit sich. Die Stadt wird zum Ort, an dem unterschiedliche Anforderungen und Ziele aufeinandertreffen. Die Kommunen stehen vor der Aufgabe, sie miteinander zu vereinen und in ihre Planungen zu integrieren. Die besondere Herausforderung, die sich dabei stellt: Die nationalen Ziele und Programme für Ressourcenschutz und den Erhalt der Biodiversität sind per se keine stadtplanerischen Konzepte. Sie kennen keine administrative Stadtgrenze und machen auch nicht Halt, wo Siedlung aufhört und Umland beginnt. Das IÖR widmet sich bei seiner Jahrestagung 2016 diesem Spannungsfeld der Umsetzung nationaler Strategien in der Stadt. ... [Information des Anbieters]
Welcome to the European Ecosystem Services 2016 conference! The theme 'Helping nature to help us' focuses on the important role that healthy ecosystems play in supporting human well-being and the protection of nature. This conference will be the biggest European event in 2016 that links science, policy and practice on ecosystem services and natural capital. It will have a strong focus on practice and implementation. ... [Information of the supplier]
This years meeting is being held in partnership with a SETAC special topic meeting entitled "Environmental and (eco)toxicological Omics and Epigenetics". As with previous years the aim of the conference is to bring together researchers and organisations from a range of disciplines with shared interests in the development of new approaches for data handling, generation and analysis in environmental omics. The meeting will include diverse sessions on science areas spanning; Archeogenomics (aDNA and ancient eDNA), Evolutionary Genomics, Metagenomics, Systems Ecotoxicology and Environmental Epigenetics. This latter topic will be expanded to consdier the Science, Technology and Regulatory Applications. It is our hope is that the resulting interaction and exchange of ideas will lead to novel approaches, new collaborations and the establishment of a wider integrated ‘Omic community. ...

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is my great pleasure to invite you to participate in the VIII. International Symposium on Ecology and Environmental Problems (ISEEP), organized by the Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Faculty of Sciences and Arts, Department of Biology. The conference will be held in Canakkale, Turkey, on 4 – 7 October 2017. It is expected that the Symposium will create an exceptional scientific platform where various ecological problems will be discussed, and possible solutions will be proposed. By this occasion, scientists both from Turkey and abroad are planning to share the results and opinions derived from their studies on various aspects of environmental problems. ...

Der voranschreitende Klimawandel stellt eine wachsende Bedrohung für die biologische Vielfalt und die davon abhängenden menschlichen Gesellschaften dar. Der engen Verknüpfung und der gegenseitigen Beeinflussung von Biodiversität und Klima wird national und international in Wissenschaft und Politik eine immer größere Bedeutung beigemessen. Um Aktivitäten im deutschsprachigen Raum zum Thema „Biodiversität und Klima“ zu präsentieren und allgemein bekannt zu machen, veranstaltet das BfN seit 2004 jährlich an der Internationalen Naturschutzakademie Insel Vilm die trans- und interdisziplinäre Tagung "Biodiversität und Klima - Vernetzung der Akteure in Deutschland". Ziel der Veranstaltung ist es, einen besseren Informations- und Erfahrungsaustausch der nationalen Akteure im Bereich Biodiversität, Klima und Landdegradation sowie eine Vernetzung der damit befassten Institutionen herbeizuführen. ...

Working basis of the three-day international workshop at the International Academy for Nature Conservation Isle of Vilm is an in advance accomplished study, analysing the flood risks and the implementation status of nature-based solutions in South Eastern Europe. The focus is put on flood-prevention in the countries Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, Macedonia, Croatia and Montenegro. Analysed were among others relevant stakeholders, barriers and priority sites regarding nature-based solutions to flood-prevention. The completed study will be presented and discussed during the workshop. The workshop will serve among others to develope within working groups guidelines to overcome barriers to the implementation of nature-based solutions and to identify priority sites for future support. The workshop shall help to develop a work programme to foster nature-based flood-prevention in South Eastern Europe and to gain approval and support for pilot activities at priority sites. ...
