EcoSummit 2016 Ecological Sustainability : Engineering Change

Présentation 

The 5th International EcoSummit Congress, EcoSummit 2016 - Ecological Sustainability : Engineering Change, will take place at The Corum Convention Centre, Montpellier from 29 August – 1 September 2016.

EcoSummit 2016 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.
