Register early
Registration for the World Congress on Agroforestry 2014 (WCA2014) has been open for several months, and will continue almost up to the date of the Congress. However, ‘early bird’ registration, offering a substantial saving, will close on 15 November 2013. Sign up here <http://worldagroforestry.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9cb21f8b9d12b672…> .
What is it?
The World Agroforestry Centre and the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, together with the Indian Society of Agroforestry and Global Initiatives, will hold the Congress in Delhi, India 10-14 February 2014.
The Congress, entitled ‘Trees for Life: Accelerating the Impacts of Agroforestry’, will draw over 1200 selected participants from the private, research and development sectors to share the current state of knowledge and accelerate the positive financial, environmental and social impacts of agroforestry.
Make a contribution
A more important date is the deadline to submit abstracts. Slots to present papers and take part in discussion sessions are filling up fast, and time is running out. The deadline for submissions is 30 September 2013, so you only have a little over two more weeks. Submit abstracts of papers and posters here <http://worldagroforestry.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9cb21f8b9d12b672…> .
Abstracts submitted for the Congress will be evaluated and accepted for one of the following options:
* Oral presentation (in some form) in relevant sessions
* Presentation as a poster
* Suitability for the congress compendium
All abstracts selected will be included in the congress compendium.
A dynamic agenda
The Congress has a number of themes. The first day features presentations on Indian topics related to agroforestry. The second part deals with business and agroforestry, third is a consideration of development and agroforestry, and fourth is a review of scientific breakthroughs and innovation. The final day looks at the integration of science, business and development, with keynote speakers and a panel discussion, and a plenary discussion of the outcomes. The full list of themes is:
* Agroforestry systems, income and environmental benefits
* Climate change, multi-functionality, livestock and fish systems
(These two with an orientation towards India)
* The business of agroforestry: applying science
* Sustaining development through agroforestry
* Applying science to the future of agroforestry: breakthroughs and innovation
* Policy, innovation and global issues.
The agenda <http://worldagroforestry.us2.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=9cb21f8b9d12b67…> is structured to generate outputs that produce a global roadmap for agroforestry in the context of world development and create a deliberate and tangible legacy in terms of recognition, partnership, investment and impact.

Subject: 1st Announcement and Call for Abstracts - 2014 Green Infrastructure Conf - Tampa
Green Infrastructure and Water Management
in Growing Metropolitan Areas
14 – 16 January 2014
Patel College of Global Sustainability at the University of South Florida
Tampa, Florida, U.S. A.
Call for Abstracts
Green infrastructure can be an effective and efficient means of managing stormwater flows and pollutant loading. Beyond these core functions, green infrastructure offers multiple ecosystem services and health and well-being benefits– offering a significant advantage over conventional gray infrastructure . Despite these noted benefits, municipal leaders face significant challenges when attempting to implement green infrastructure strategies in new and existing development.
Green Infrastructure in Growing Metropolitan Areas
will address the challenges and opportunities surrounding green infrastructure. The event will bring together scientists, engineers, urban planners, and urban natural resource managers to highlight the latest developments in the science behind of green infrastructure, illustrate new and innovative policy, demonstrate innovative engineering techniques, and outline emerging urban design models useful in protecting the water resources within the world’s growing metropolitan regions.
Practitioners and researchers from across the full range of engineering, urban and landscape design, natural resource management and social science disciplines are invited to submit abstracts for oral and poster presentations. The abstracts should cover one out of the four conference topics:
1. Defining the Benefits of Green Infrastructure:
Theme will focus on scientific foundation of the use of green infrastructure in managing urban water, including surface water and ground water recharge, as well as identify the gaps in our present knowledge.
2. Barriers to Green Infrastructure Implementation:
Theme will focus on scientific inquiry and cost-benefit analysis that address the perception that performance is unknown, concerns about regulatory agency acceptance of green infrastructure, maintenance requirements and costs, conflicting legal mandates, and the lack of staff expertise.
3. Funding Green Infrastructure Design, Implementation and Maintenance:
Theme will focus on investigations into the true economic costs and benefits of transforming a municipal gray infrastructure system into a mixed gray-green system and the implementation costs, as well as long-term maintenance costs of green infrastructure.
4. Implementation Strategies for Governments, Communities and Developers:
Theme will address the organization and implementation of public policy, including land planning regulation and green infrastructure site development procedures.
Submitted abstracts will be reviewed by the Green Infrastructure in Growing Metropolitan Areas scientific committee. The authors of the accepted abstract will be notified by October 15, 2013. The authors must confirm their attendance by registering for the conference by December 15, 2013. The accepted and confirmed abstracts will be published in the conference proceedings of the "Green Infrastructure and Water Management in Growing Metropolitan Regions Conference". After the conference, selected abstracts will be invited to contribute a full-paper to a special edition of a journal.
Conference Organizers:
University of South Florida’s Patel College of Global Sustainability and the University of Florida IFAS with additional financial support from the U.S. Forest Service.
