Challenges and Possibilities for Environmental Sustainability with a focus on Pakistan
September 26, 2018

27-28 February 2019

Department of Environmental Science and Policy, Lahore School of Economics

Call for Papers

The social metabolism reproducing society in the modern era is upsetting Earth’s natural equilibrium, which until recently, had maintained relative stability for millions of years. Marking this shift in the planet’s biogeochemical processes due to human activities, scientists recently declared the emergence of a new geological epoch, the ‘Anthropocene’. This new global shift is characterized by severe (1) socio-environmental crises, including climate change, degradation of air, water, soils and habitats, rapid extraction of finite freshwater and mineral reserves, deforestation and desertification, and growing quantities of wastes that cannot easily be absorbed into the environment. Such processes are being experienced unevenly across space on a scale never before witnessed in human history, producing impacts that are becoming increasingly critical for our own species as well as others (2).

Aiming to understand the environmental, social and economic dimensions of these crises, particularly in the context of Pakistan, as well as to engage critically with the contemporary debates regarding possible ways to safeguard and/or restore ecologically sustainable systems to the extent possible, this conference will serve as a site for grappling with the multiple and complex sources of these crises, the ecological and social impacts experienced, and the technological, economic and policy interventions being attempted at local, national, and international scales.

The Environment of Small Cities of Pakistan

Call for Papers

From Gwadar in the south to Skardu in the far north, small cities of Pakistan are in the throes of change spurred by social and metabolic processes of global urbanization. While this transformation is uneven and varied it is a trend towards incorporation of the local and small scale in the circuit of global capital. E-waste recycling in Bhakkar or burgeoning health and agro-chemical commerce in Jampur exemplify developments destined to have far reaching socio-ecological consequences.
