International Industrial Ecology Day 2021

Towards improved representation of land use impacts in Industrial Ecology

Time slot: Jun 21, 2021 — 07:00-08:00 (UTC Change)
Use the following timezone:

Human activities have already affected more than 70% of the global ice-free land surface, and have caused extensive changes in habitats and diversity. In the past decade, increasing efforts in the industrial ecology community have been striving to achieve better knowledge on drivers and impacts of land use disturbances, and developed novel methods to assess alternative strategies that can reconcile a sustainable supply of land-based products and land management (agriculture, forestry, livestock) with climate change mitigation and nature conservation, within a context of increasing competition of land resources. This session welcomes submissions of recent works that assess how human activities interact with land systems, in terms of both methodological developments for better characterization of land-climate interactions and impacts of land use on species diversity and ecosystem services.

Session program:

  • Minute 0-5: Welcome by session chair and introduction to topic
  • Minute 5-20: “Considering functional diversity in impact assessment: the example of plants and land use”, by Laura Scherer, Leiden University, The Netherlands.
  • Minute 20-35: “Considering habitat conversion and fragmentation in characterisation factors for land-use impacts on vertebrate species richness” by Koen Kuipers, Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands.
  • Minute 35-50: “Land conversion and woody biomass utilization scenarios in Indonesia: temporal emissions and prospective role of restored degraded land for climate mitigation”, by Rio Aryapratama, University of Freiburg, Germany.
  • Minute 50-60: Final overarching questions and remarks, break

Organizers and session chairs: Francesca Verones (NTNU), Francesco Cherubini (NTNU), Stephan Pfister (ETH Zürich)
