Welcome to the AGS Annual Meeting

“SUSTAINABILITY and CHANGE”

Our planet is faced with a number of rapid changes over the coming decades. These changes include a changing climate, growing demand for food, constraints of resources, increasing global population and urbanization, and ageing societies. Although the extent of these changes is difficult to predict, the consequences of not meeting the challenges are all the better known.

In this meeting we will address these key issues through the AGS research initiatives and look for sustainable solutions in the face of change. The first day commences with a plenary on pathways and action and continues with urban futures and metabolism. The second day includes emerging issues such as learning for sustainability science and the sustainability implications of ageing.

The AGS annual meeting will be held on 23-25 January 2011, and continues in collaboration with the Energy Conference on 26 January 2011.

The meeting includes prominent speakers from industry and society, panels of experts and briefings by AGS researchers.

This event is in collaboration with the AGS student body: World Student Community for Sustainable Development, Chalmers Student for Sustainability and The Orange Quest
