Hi Everyone, I would like to invite you to submit abstract for the session I’m co-hosting during the coming ESP Europe meeting in Tartu, T14 – Recent Advances in green and blue infrastructure ecosystem services and disservices.
From rural to urban spaces
Our session aims to present recent research results regarding GBI, their ecological characteristics, functions and the ecosystem services they deliver in different context, but also to address the policyscapes and stakeholder interactions controlling their management and planning, as well as the integration of citizens interests, preferences and participation regarding GBI, through CS actions. First, it aims to discuss case studies using CS and participatory-based processes for the assessment and mapping of ES and EDS and their outcomes, especially focusing on GBI. Preferably these studies will also contribute to the critical view on the benefits and pitfalls of CS. Second, we seek for studies demonstrating how this knowledge can be operationalized for planning and managing GBI efficiently.
Although the session is organized under the umbrella of two Biodiversa projects (IMAGINE and UrbanGAIA), we welcome presentations from outside these two projects! Don’t hesitate to submit or to contact me for more details.
The call for abstracts is opened until the 15th of February! Don’t miss the opportunity.
Best regards,
Philip
