The aim of conference is to present the state of the art in sustainability science research for watershed management, examine specific case studies in Southeast Asia and the Pacific, and to advance the development of a transdisciplinary method of organizing research to inform general and specific instruments of public policy, especially regarding watershed management. Critical issues for research and policy analysis at the regional, national, and international levels will also be identified.
The conference and the resulting book manuscript by leading economists, biologists, hydrologists, and engineers will help synthesize a third wave in sustainability science that focuses on facilitating policy analysis. The organization of research is transdisciplinary at the monitoring, modeling, and policy analysis stages. Discussions of several thematic and issue papers on sustainability science and watershed management, watershed restoration for flood management, watershed information systems, sustainable transformation for poverty alleviation, among others shall be the highlights of the conference.
