KARIBU NAIROBI!
Thank you all for participating in ISEE 2008 Nairobi. It was an engaging and enjoyable experience, due in large measure to the enormous effort on the part of the conference partnership among ISEE, ASEE and UNEP.
At this point we want to finalize the web version of the Proceedings of the event, providing an opportunity for those whose papers or presentations were unable to be included in the prior listings either on the site or the CD-ROM, and those who – based on the discussions in Nairobi – wish to update their papers to reflect constructive criticism. We therefore will permit that registered participants who presented their papers or posters in Nairobi upload new or revised versions of their files. Only those who actually appeared in Nairobi will be permitted to do so, in deference to those who made the trek and in some cases were faced with partially vacant sessions due to un-announced no-shows. This permission will be granted up to September 30, 2008.
The material posted on the site will be available for reference and download by registered participants and paid-up members of ISEE indefinitely at the conference website.
Welcome to Nairobi!
The conference, "ISEE 2008 NAIROBI: APPLYING ECOLOGICAL ECONOMICS FOR SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY" is a joint undertaking by the International Society for Ecological Economics (ISEE), African Society for Ecological Economics (ASEE) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).
The conference to be held 7-11 August, 2008 in the United Nations conference facilities, Nairobi, Kenya, will highlight the vision, methods and policy adjustments needed for ecological economics principles to be applied to the design and management of environmentally and socially sustainable development processes. The conference seeks to build capacity in this area in developing countries in the face of increasing global change and interdependence.
