Dear All,
Multiple apologies for cross-posting!
We are hosting a session on Analysis and Modelling Social-Ecological Systems
for Sustainable Development: Challenges and Opportunities at EcoSummit 2020, 21

Abstract
Understanding human-nature interactions is a prerequisite for sustainable
development, and for adapting to changing land- and seascapes, and for working
towards a desirable future. Sustainability requires a critical analysis of both
social and ecological components and exploring their dynamics (feedbacks,
nonlinearity) across multiple scales. Failure to recognize such complex
dynamics has led to unsustainable development pathways, accompanied by
environmental and social challenges, such as climate change, biodiversity loss,
resource degradation, unsustainable livelihoods and equity. Despite the
recognised significance of SES, progress in the operationalization of complex
dynamics (including cross-scale dynamics) of a SES through innovative tools and
methods remains slow, especially for a desirable SES trajectory.
In this session, our main objective is to discuss contributions dealing with
the opportunities and challenges in analysing and modelling SES. The session is
expected to include, but not necessarily be limited to, the following topics:
• Long-term trends and transitions in interactions between SES•
Conceptualization and operationalization of SES concept for advancing
sustainable development agendas (e.g. SDGs)• Modelling SES dynamics for
sustainable development, e.g. safe and just operating space, tipping points.•
Sustainable management of land, water, and agricultural systems, as well as
sustainable livelihoods and wellbeing.• Challenges (e.g. data availability) and
opportunities of using SES analysis for SDGs
We welcome contributions to addressing these points.
