We invite abstracts on recent or current research that supports our conference theme,
“Sustainable horizons – Navigating the future with environmental innovation”
Theme 1: Sustainable innovations to address current environmental challenges
Current environmental challenges can be effectively addressed by leveraging sustainable innovations across various sectors. Topics under this theme include discussing how current challenges, including energy shortages, climate change, biodiversity loss, and rapid urbanisation can influence effective resource management and environmental protection. To address these challenges, possible solutions should be identified, including developing renewable energy solutions, using carbon and biodiversity offsets, ensuring water security in a changing climate, ensuring effective waste management, and developing nature-based solutions to mitigate climate change, enhance biodiversity, and improve resilience to natural disasters.
Theme 2: Policy and governance for ensuring a sustainable future
Effective policy and governance play a crucial role in ensuring sustainable development by providing frameworks, regulations, incentives, and enforcement mechanisms to promote responsible economic development, while ensuring environmental protection. Topics under this theme include transparent governance and cross-sector collaboration to ensure environmental protection during development. Bridging the gap between scientists, policymakers, and stakeholders by addressing the science−policy interface, and ensuring environmental justice, and promoting environmental stewardship during development.
Theme 3: Data horizons: Using artificial intelligence, big data, and analytics in environmental management
The integration of AI, big data, and analytics holds great promise for addressing environmental challenges more effectively by providing data-driven insights, optimising resource management, and fostering innovation in environmental conservation and sustainability efforts. Topics under this theme include using AI algorithms and big data analytics for environmental monitoring and prediction, and for analysing historical and real-time data to recommend efficient strategies for resource management and optimisation, waste management, land use planning, ecosystem conservation and restoration, and climate change mitigation and adaptation
