Symposium at ZSL London Zoo
25th of May, 2012

What does the global economy have to do with orangutans, spotted owls, and cod? Along with polar bears, elephants and countless other species, these animals are being driven to extinction and our unsustainable economic system is the driving force. On the 25th of May, join conservation and economic experts to explore these links and develop strategies for prioritising wildlife conservation in the new economy. Economics as if life mattered will bring together Alejandro Nadal from the IUCN, Brian Czech, President of the Center for the
Advancement of the Steady State Economy, Green Economist Molly Scott Cato, and directors of Fauna & Flora International, Humane Society International, ZSL Conservation Programmes, Birdlife International and Scottish Wildlife Trust. » Read the full article

Student and early career discussion group and mailing list

To ease communication between student and early career ESEE members, we have set up an email list and LinkedIn discussion group. Posting on either is open to all subscribers. The email list is particularly meant for sharing events and announcement that may be useful to other ESEE members. The LinkedIn group is particularly useful for discussions and requests – e.g. you may be looking for useful paper references, you may be looking for help or feedback in preparing teaching materials, you want someone to informally review a paper, you may be looking for funding sources etcetera.

Growth in Transition, October 8-10 2012, Vienna

Krisen sind allgegenwärtig. Klimakrise. Ressourcenkrise. Finanzkrise. Schuldenkrise. Es stellt sich die Frage: Wollen wir es so, wie wir es uns eingerichtet haben?

2010 hat das Lebensministerium zusammen mit zahlreichen Partnern in Wien die internationale Konferenz „Wachstum im Wandel“ veranstaltet, bei der über 500 Personen aktiv teilgenommen haben.

Die Initiative „Wachstum im Wandel” beabsichtigt, möglichst viele Institutionen und Personen in einen Dialog zu involvieren, wie ein Wandlungsprozess in Richtung Zukunftsfähigkeit gestaltet werden kann.

Von 8. bis 10. Oktober dieses Jahres wird die zweite internationale Konferenz „Wachstum im Wandel“ stattfinden. Im Rahmen davon sollen wesentliche Fragen über unsere Zukunft (Wirtschaft, Umwelt, Arbeit, Lebensqualität, etc.) diskutiert werden.

Wir laden Sie zur dreitägigen Konferenz in Wien sehr herzlich ein und bitten Sie, den Termin 8.-10. Oktober 2012 vorzumerken.
