The Center for Research on Environment, Human Security and Governance (CERES) in partnership with many institutions, will organize its 5th International Conference. The main focus of the Conference is Social-Ecological Systems (SES). The approach consists of: 

​

• Assessing the structural factors of SES vulnerability in an era of global risks and insecurity dynamics; 
• Identifying areas of SES interactions, integration and synergy;
• Assessing the ability and inability of existing response mechanisms (governance frameworks, conceptual referential, cultural patterns and values...) to foster the resilience and viability of SES; and
• Promoting approaches and ways of action to reverse undesirable trends. 

Call for Papers

Speakers from different perspectives will be provided the opportunity to present their research, insights, and successful practices, and explore innovative options to guide future processes of change with regard to the resilience and viability of SES. The Conference topics are multidisciplinary (enabling fruitful interactions between numerous scientific fields) and relevant to policy-making processes (enabling interactions among researchers/experts/practitioners and decision makers from different scales and spheres).

The Conference languages are: English, French, and Arabic.

The best papers will be published in contributed volumes by Springer Nature, and Routledge Environment & Sustainability.
