The British Ecological Society (BES) and the York Environmental Sustainability Institute (YESI) will be hosting a major international scientific meeting, Global Change and Biosphere Interactions as part of the BES centenary and to celebrate the launch of YESI.

Focused on sustainable solutions to global environmental change, the conference will feature major international speakers covering current advances in our understanding of the past, present and future consequences of human impacts on the earth system. Contributions will reach across disciplines, spanning physical, natural, social sciences and humanities to address the causes and consequences of global change and the implications for policy. There will be extensive opportunities for discussing the role of interdisciplinary research in understanding
the impacts of global change and identifying new research which will allow us to mitigate and adapt to these impacts. Booking is now open.

Early bird registration is now open until 15 February 2013 at £95 for non BES members and £75 for members, which includes all sessions, lunch and refreshments over the two days.
