Economizing Nature

Call for Papers
Special Track in ENVIROINFO2022
26th – 28th September 2022  at University of Hamburg, Germany


 

 


 

 


 

Scope

The UN System of Environmental-Economic Accounting (SEEA) in conjunction
with regional and national regulations enforces the demands for complex and
dynamic information availability, coherence and synergies for substantial
improvements in documentation, planning, decision making and operational
actions. 

The loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services, which underpin nearly all
of the Sustainable Development Goals indicates on transformative changes
that are needed to ensure biodiversity conservation, its sustainable use,
and the multi-faceted, careful and all-of-society based definition and
implementation of ecosystem services upon which all life depends.

Natural capital affects the impacts of natural hazards, e.g. mangroves can
protect against floods and cover crops against drought. Quantifying these
benefits is key for a more holistic cost/benefit analysis of nature
restoration or conservation efforts.

The systemic impacts of hazards affecting nature are beyond those directly
captured. The economic impact of a food security shock (through
malnutrition, stunting, livelihoods, long term investment etc.) are greater
than direct agricultural losses. Quantifying these impacts give a more
accurate indicator of the Disaster Risk Reduction value of nature.

The complete set of information management best practice methods especially
supports the principles of “critical thinking”, enabling extensive
reporting, transparent analysis, compliance to regulations and other
boundary conditions. Information control obligations include phases of
retrace, audit, reexamination, analysis, avoidance of malpractice, and
indications on situation robustness, weaknesses and vulnerabilities.

Topics

*        Economics and the Environment 

*        Competing Land Cover and Land Uses

*        Accounting and Costing Nature

*        Food security and Sovereignty

*        Economics of Landscape Restoration

*        Market and Non-Market Valuation Techniques

*        Ownership of Nature Goods and Services

*        Indigenous and Nomadic Peoples Interests

*        SEEA Conflicts

*        Valuing Status, Development and (historic, current, future) Ways of
Use

*        Nature Restauration in Post-Industrial Regions

*        Restoring Marine Biodiversity Scenarios beyond Economic Growth

 

Expected outcome of Special Track “Economizing Nature”
Research and Development Questions related to Information Management:

*        Existing questions (extensions, refinement)

*        Discontinuities as chances for adaption

*        Goal Reaching Management and Progress Reporting 

*        Quantifying biodiversity-related expenditures

*        Governance needs

*        Food security and sovereignty Information Management

*        Information distortion and fraud

*        Manageable Information on Social dimensions

The processing and use of information according to the requirements of the
UN System of Environmental-Economic Accounting (SEEA) holds enormous
potential for new ways of enabling just-in-time foresight, situation
management and ex-post evaluation. For a successful decision and action
support, we have to make the best possible use of this potential. 

This track is organized in cooperation with CODATA-Germany and SusInf
Community of Experts. Submissions and participation recommended for
stakeholders in Nature Economy R&D, Governance and Practice: Science, Public
Administrations / Law Enforcement Agencies, Private Sector, and NGOs.
