International Sustainable Ecological Engineering Design for Society (SEEDS) Conference 2023 - Conference Proceedings
Conference theme: Decarbonise or Demise - implementing zero carbon now.
This year we ask:
What must we do now to enable transformation towards carbon conscious communities; enabling a resilient carbon neutral future?
The International SEEDS Conference aims to bring together experts from around the world to focus on changes required to minimise the impact of human activity on the environment. This year, the conference invites papers aligned to the three main themes of the Suffolk Sustainability Institute. The themes are interdependent and resonate with the imperatives we face in addressing the climate crisis, whether through technological transformation, community collaboration or resource management – each theme addresses issues that we know are vital when changing and challenging practice within our built environment. The arguments are well rehearsed, and this year we have witnessed another COP meeting. SEEDS provides an opportunity for us to share knowledge and experience to implement the research and evidence-based change needed within society to respond to and address ecological and climate impacts.
Three main conference themes:
- Blue/Green Infrastructure (Technology – Smart Solutions for Future Smart Cities and Buildings, Data Science and IOT; Ecology – Nature Based Solutions, Ecosystems Services, Natural Systems, Biodiversity Net Gain)
- Sustainable Healthy Communities (Community Engagement; Smart Healthy Living/Health and Wellbeing; Behavioural Science to embed Change)
- Energy and Resource Management (Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Production; Materials Engineering within the Built Environment; Resource Efficient solution and a Circular Economy)
