Dear colleagues,
I am preparing a discussion session for the 11th Biennial Conference of the
International Society for Ecological Economics "Advancing Sustainability in a
Time of Crisis" that will take place in Bremen/Oldenburg (Germany) on 22-25
August 2010 (www.isee2010.org).
The general topic of the session will be «Sources of knowledge for a
sustainable decision-making». The session will discuss what kinds of knowledge
and expertise need be taken into account in decision-making and governance
systems if we want them to ensure sustainability in the long term. How does
scientific advice have to be sought for? What are possible controversies
around “science-based” policies? What is the relevance of the “local”
knowledge? To which extent and in which forms can “public” participation in
decision-making enhance sustainability?
If some of you are interested in attending this conference and presenting
theoretical considerations and/or case studies from particular countries related
to this theme, please contact me as soon as possible so that we could co-
ordinate the submission of abstracts. An abstract of up to 400 words would be
needed from every panellist.
Sincerely
Demyan Belyaev
