Summary:
This conference will promote well-informed international debate about what the next quarter century might hold in store for all the water-based ecosystems of the earth. Directly following the World Day for Water in the International Year of Freshwater the 5th ICEF will assess threats to resilience and likely changes in the 21 major aquatic systems over a time horizon of the next 25 years. For this purpose, FEC and EAWAG have engaged leading scientists from around the world to review each of the major marine and freshwater systems. The 5th ICEF will offer environmental managers and opinion-formers a unique and objective basis for environmental strategy formulation at regional and global levels.
