The meeting provides an international forum to discuss the problems facing the public and private sectors, the engineering and scientific communities in terms of the land available for development purposes.

Breakfast meeting:
Culture and Sustainable Energy: Today & Tomorrow
Event: Breakfasts at Sustainability's are small informal meetings hosted by Bxl Representations of regional & local governments. Topics covered are related to sustainable community development that are essential to public authorities, ranging from climate change issues to waste management, land use, water issues, clean transport, green energy and many more.
On 15 September, climate change and energy security will be put under the microscope. Both areas require urgent local climate and energy action - by people using technology and changing their behaviour and switching to clean fuels. Our European cities and towns - with their beautiful historic town centres, existing and new building stock, multiple roads - face multiple transport and energy challenges.
Many of these can be solved by improving energy efficiency and using renewable energy. The speakers will include a representative from Hamburg (Germany) the Green Capital of Europe 2011, who will talk about renewable technologies and a representative from Malmö (Sweden), who will discuss how to change the behaviour of citizens and make the switch to clean fuels. Participants will be in for a special treat as there will be a musical performance from Estonia's Dave Benton, the 2001 Eurovision Song Contest winner.
Join our energy and city experts and enjoy a great discussion on the real meaning of a sustainable energy culture.

International Conference on Urbanization and Global Environmental Change “Opportunities and Challenges for Sustainability in an Urbanizing World”
Event: The first Open Science Conference of the Urbanization and Global Environmental Change (UGEC) Project is an international effort to bring together scientists, practitioners, policy makers, and stakeholders to understand the multi-faceted interactions between urban areas and global environmental change. The conference seeks to build a forum for reflection, exchange of knowledge, experiences, lessons, ideas, and information, contributing to the creation of efficient strategies for urban sustainability. The structure and approach of the conference is specifically designed to foster dialogue among participants. Oral presentations and posters are encouraged to communicate the knowledge and lessons learned from research projects and practices.
The UGEC Conference will work closely with the Global Land Project (GLP) Open Science Meeting, held October 17-19. GLP is a joint research project for land systems for the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) and the International Human Dimensions Programme (IHDP). Both conferences will be held back to back with one overlapping day, in which the two programs will focus on the themes surrounding the urban, land, and climate change interface.

Third International Conference on Management of Natural Resources, Sustainable Development and Ecological Hazards
Event: This conference will discuss the objective of reaching sustainability in the framework of all different disciplines in order to arrive at optimal solutions. Hence this meeting is essentially transdisciplinary in order to find appropriate sustainable solutions, i.e. those involving collaboration across a wide range of disciplines. Like the first two, the aim of this conference is to take stock of our situation and try to facilitate constructive principles and policies for a way forward.
