International Symposium and Workshop
RE-Greece 2016
Circular Economy and Sustainable Use of
REnewable REsources in the context of Climate Change and Social Upheavals

 

The major objective of the symposium is to promote the scientific dialogue supporting the sustainable management and usage of natural renewable resources with best paradigms, practices and policies at the local, Mediterranean, European and Global scales by addressing the technical, socio-economic, ecological and sustainability  dimensions in the context of “Accelerating the Transition to Equitable, Sustainable, Post-Fossil Carbon Societies!”

 

Our goal is to organize an international forum to bring together experts, young researchers, engineers and practitioners globally, to propose sustainable solutions for the environmental challenges of ‘’vulnerable communities” in the context of climate change and  the need for integrating resilience and equity into all levels of society to reduce vulnerabilities and social upheavals.

 

Researchers can present their research, exchange new ideas, disseminate solutions for sustainable development,

•  evaluate existing and evolving green technologies for management and usage of renewable biological resources;

•  review sustainable design practices designed to help to ensure resilience and future proofing of supply chains of renewable biological resources;

• deploy of best technical, management, policy and educational practices;

• explore multiple dimensions of sustainable biological resource availability and holistic and synergistic approaches for improving and applying sustainability principles in usage of these resources, in the context of climate change and related uncertainties;

• interact with each other;

• plan and foster future collaborations.

 

The Symposium will be held on Nisyros, a small Greek Volcanic island in the Aegean Sea, as a paradigm of sustainable use of local resources for enhancing resilience of the community.
