Background and Rationale
For two decades, we as global citizens have run marathon in securing our environment without much success (from the 1992 Rio Conference, to the 2002 Johannesburg or Rio+10, and then to 2012 Rio Conference or Rio+20). Most national leaders are aware of high consumption of natural resources, lack of pollution control, unpredictable climate conditions and other natural disasters which affect quality of human life and global ecosystem. However, we have not put sufficient attempts to combat these environmental problems together but pay more attention to the world economic insecurity. Although some stakeholders turn these catastrophes into new opportunities of development, especially green economy, sufficient economy, or green politics; we just experience trial and error which put global ecosystem and human society at risk.
The 2nd EnvironmentAsia International Conference on “Human Vulnerability and Global Environmental Change” is being conducted by the Thai Society of Higher Education Institutes on Environment (TSHE). The Conference aims to address the crisis and challenges we face, and seize the opportunity in emerging areas of energy, environment, and global changes to achieve sustainable development. The 2nd EnvironmentAsia International Conference shall provide a forum for academicians, technologists, researchers, students, entrepreneurs, and policy makers worldwide to exchange ideas and emerging technologies in the fields of natural resource management, environmental education, environmental science, human impacts and adaptation, tourism, and cultural environment.
The Conference will attempt to evolve the agenda for environmental policies, and the identification of green technologies and their subsequent implementation for sustainable development. The Conference will take a multidisciplinary approach across various fields and perspectives through which the fundamental questions of sustainability can be addressed. Main speakers include some of the leading thinkers in the field, as well as numerous papers, and colloquium.
