International Society for Ecological Economics (ISEE) is a nonprofit organization that works to achieve mutual well-being of people and nature by advancing understanding of the relationships between the economy, ecology and society.
ISEE will organize its 12th biennial conference in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from May 29, 2012 to June 1, 2012. ISEE is currently inviting papers to be presented in ISEE Conference 2012.
About ISEE 2012 Conference
ISEE 2012 has been conceived to dovetail with the Rio+20 UNCSD Earth Summit. The Earth Summit has been charged with developing a road map for international cooperation toward a “Green Economy” and for promoting institutions necessary for sustainable development. ISEE 2012 will address UNCSD themes as well as other key debates within ecological economics and environmental policy. It will promote dialogue with the Summit through a final ministerial panel and the participation of policy makers. The challenge for Ecological Economics at this Summit is to contribute to designing innovative alternatives, to address market and institutional failures, as well as to better understand ecological and economic systems.
Conference Themes
- Greening the Economy
- The Political Economy of Green Development
- Environmental Justice, Ethics and Values
- Methodological Challenges
Abstract Submission
There will be three tracks for abstract submissions: Panels (for long presentations), Roundtables (for short interventions) and Posters. Submissions can be in the form of individual abstracts or as full Panels and Roundtables. Full Panels/Roundtables require a cogent theme, a brief introduction giving the rationale, names of session chair(s), and abstracts/papers of all contributors. Alternative innovative formats, including performances, films and installations, would also be welcome for consideration.
Support Provisions
Conference organisers will make every effort to seek funding to reimburse travel costs and participation fees of those from non-OECD countries and for student researchers (with proof of university attendance). Those needing funding must submit a full paper in advance.
Last date for submitting the abstracts is November 15, 2011.
