Programme on Ecosystem Change and Society (PECS) 2015 Conference

The PECS 2015 conference – entitled ‘Social-ecological dynamics in the Anthropocene’ – will gather scientists from various disciplines, from within and beyond the PECS network, to share cutting-edge research insights on social-ecological dynamics in the Anthropocene.

The PECS 2015 conference will engage and involve multiple stakeholders concerned with sustainable development and who are interested in developing new solutions and strategies. The conference is intended to highlight PECS achievements and ambitions, and to synthesise and integrate PECS-related research to provide a basis for a future social-ecological research agenda, especially in light of Future Earth.

The conference invites sessions and talks under the four following overarching themes:

• Thresholds, traps and transformations in social-ecological systems.
• How governance and institutions affect social-ecological systems, including capacity for learning and transformations.
• Social-ecological dynamics of ecosystem services: synergies, trade-offs and links to human wellbeing.
• Cross-scale connections and feedbacks that impact structure and dynamics of social-ecological systems.
