Sustainability: Engineering Change
29 August - 1 September 2016
Le Corum, Montpellier, France
The 5th International EcoSummit Congress, EcoSummit 2016
<http://communications.elsevier.com/r/?id=hb25f944,49f8e40,4a1e070> , will centre on
the ecology of terrestrial ecosystems and all habitats that are integrated within those
ecosystems, including river networks, wetlands and coastlines.
Focus will be placed on fragile ecosystems that are more likely to suffer the consequences
of climate change and anthropogenic pressure. However, in the current context of an
increasing world population, changes in social habit (increasing world consumerism) and
climate change, it is evident that agriculture is being intensified but with a growing
awareness of the need to preserve and use sustainably world resources. Therefore, we will
also address how terrestrial restoration can be carried out when the massive demand for
food results in fragile ecosystems, forests and marginal lands being turned over to
agriculture.

Call for Session and Side Event Proposals
<http://communications.elsevier.com/r/?id=hb25f944,49f8e40,4a1e071>
Proposals to be submitted by 31 July 2015
A Summit needs to find solutions for today's problems and the success of EcoSummit
2016 <http://communications.elsevier.com/r/?id=hb25f944,49f8e40,4a1e072> will be
due to the creative input of its participants. Therefore, EcoSummit 2016 will be
structured not only around sessions, but will rely on workshops, forums, round tables and
discussions to unite attendees in finding solutions. From these events we would like to
establish concrete deliverables in the form of white papers, scientific essays and new
ideas for policy makers and stakeholders.
The Scientific Committee
<http://communications.elsevier.com/r/?id=hb25f944,49f8e40,4a1e073> invites
submissions of session proposals and side events. In keeping with the spirit of the
conference title ECOLOGICAL SUSTAINABILITY - ENGINEERING CHANGE, the Scientific Committee
is developing a programme that will highlight the advances made to address the current
environmental problems facing our changing world.
Sessions and side events will be considered that address one or more of the conference
topics <http://communications.elsevier.com/r/?id=hb25f944,49f8e40,4a1e074> .
Proposals should be submitted by 31 July 2015, using the online Session & Side Event
Proposal Form.
