The climate crisis, the biodiversity crisis and social injustices are making it increasingly apparent that incremental changes are no longer sufficient to ensure equality for all generations. As such, innovative change is needed across the board at a societal level. Accompanying this change with knowledge and providing solutions for transformation is a priority of science. Therefore, this Conference is expected to host relevant research with the aim of improving the ecological transition of our societies.
Discussion topics:
- Ecological transition and climate change.
- Ecological transition and biodiversity crisis.
- Ecological transition and sustainable development.
