Condition and trends of ecological and economic systems

Abstract

This Monitoring Science and Technology Symposium was designed to “put it all together” for the achievement of sustainability-related goals. It brought together senior policy makers, resource managers and scientists from many organizations and a wide range of disciplines to design a roadmap for addressing critical needs for unifying monitoring strategies, information and knowledge. Discussions during this first Closing Plenary Summary Session were arbitrarily limited itself to a primary focus on Ecological and Economic Systems; nonetheless, the Session did not neglect the import of Social Systems-dealt with in greater detail in subsequent summary sessions.
