The workshop will focus on how to assess and manage resilience of social-ecological systems related to water quality challenges. It will examine the existence of regime shifts and tipping points in aquatic systems, how these regime shifts can be predicted and/or anticipated, and which strategies need to be adopted when faced with the risk of regime shifts.
Particular focus will be on tools that can be useful to deal with uncertainty, such as adaptive management and scenario planning, to improve land and water management interventions.
Executive director Johan Rockström will chair the workshop while centre researcher Oonsie Biggs is a keynote speaker on understanding and managing regime shifts in environmental systems.
