No publisher jonathan Meeting 2008-04-29T23:08:39Z Event http://www.designtrek.net/1stconfmsb Biosystems are a sustainable approach for the management of natural resources. In the past the provision of water, food, energy and shelter throughout the world has been largely by biosystems. This is evident even today throughout the developing world and in rural regions. Increased urbanization and dependence on mechanical technologies coupled with lifestyle changes and market driven economic centralism is consuming resources in un-sustainable ways. This urban-lifestyle and commercial activity is often unconnected with surrounding ecosystems and biosystems. In questioning the sustainability of lifestyle and commercial activities old approaches have been re-assessed and refined. Development of decentralised technologies that mimic biosystems have led to real commercial gains without sacrificing a sustainable approach. Decentralised approaches and the move toward integration of high-tech solutions and biosystems guarantee innovation. The use of biosystems and models derived from them can have real benefit to the environment and economy at the same time. This conference aims to bring together people working in all sectors, academics, industrialists and community workers who have technologies and experiences to share, suitable for both developing and developed countries. The conference will primarily focus on the technical aspects of IBS and their integration into society.

Representatives from government, business and other major actors will be invited to discuss the challenges facing societal development, and together with scientists propose directions to go and pathways to avoid. To explore this further and to complement and enhance the scientific symposium, discussions have been initiated with the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts on a resilience exhibition and possibly dialogue workshops with artists performing top quality work. We envision the involvement of performing arts as well.

These goals are considered in the context of climate change, which, as indicated in the 2007 report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), will have profound effects on ecosystems and coastal populations around the world.
