³Resilience,
Ecological Solidarity and Stewardship²
Seminar and Workshop
April 22 & 24, 2013
We propose to explore Earth stewardship issues during two coupled events:
A public seminar on ³Repenser et fonder
l'intendance du territoire en France³ (Land
stewardship), organized by The Conservatoire des
Espaces Naturels du Languedoc-Roussillon, the
Monday 22nd of April, Supagro Campus (amphitheater), Montpellier.
A one-day workshop with limited attendance on
³Resilience, ecological solidarity and
stewardship², the Wednesday 24th of April,
Agropolis International (room B01), Montpellier.
The
workshop is the second of a workshop series in preparation for
the 2014 Resilience Conference
to be held in Montpellier, France1. The objective of the workshop series
is to bring French and
international scientific communities together for an in depth exploration
of the multiple dimensions
of resilience following the theme of the 2014 Resilience Conference:
³Resilience and development:
mobilizing for transformation². This specific workshop, organized by CNRS,
will focus on Earth
stewardship conceived as an action-oriented framework intended to foster
the socialecological
sustainability of a rapidly changing planet. Recent developments identify
that all socialecological
systems are vulnerable to recent and projected changes but have sources of
adaptive capacity and
resilience that can sustain ecosystem services and human well-being
through active ecosystem
stewardship. In this context, Ecological solidarity may provide an
ecological basis and social reasoning
for stewardship of landscapes and seascapes and their biodiversity beyond
the boundaries of
protected areas. It underlines how human relationships with nature embody
cultural, social and
economic values, and thus promotes a process of learning to live
resiliently and uses science and
social learning as tools to foster adaptive management and governance. Key
interdisciplinary themes
of the workshop will consider the critical contribution of institutions,
contractual approaches and
public policies, capabilities and individual behavior issues, both in
rural and urban context.
By
mixing practitioners, decision-makers and scientists, both
seminar and workshop will discuss how
by placing biosphere reconnection at the heart of the sustainability
challenge for humanity,
stewardship, ecological solidarity, resilience of social-ecological
systems, capabilities and individual
behavior concepts could help to provide a rationale and guidelines to
reverse planetary degradation,
rethink the common sense of integrated development and conservation
policies.
Objectives in a nutshell:
1. To present and discuss the stewardship concept
from both a theoretical and operational
perspectives [Land stewardship European Seminar]
2. To provide a meeting space for
interdisciplinary scientists to meet, discuss and
identify session themes on ³Resilience,
solidarity and stewardship² for the 2014 Resilience
Conference. [workshop]
3. Select 1 or 2 of these themes to develop the
outline for one or more key papers to be
submitted for a special issue of Ecology and Society. [workshop]
Application for the small group workshop:
To foster discussion, the number of participants
to the workshop is limited to 20. To save your
seat, please send a brief (250 words maximum)
description of your experience and your potential
contribution to the workshop to the organizers.
Documents can be provided in either French or in
English, although the workshop will be in English.
