Please, also see the conference website.

The International Conference for Sustainable Resource Society is a multi-disciplinary conference focused on challenges of sustainability transitions in society, environmental change, and sustainable use of natural resources. ICS25 is organized around five working groups: biosociety, climate, water, energy & minerals, and circular economy and sustainable society. ICS25 is jointly organized by a consortium of Research Communities from University of Eastern Finland: RESOURCE, FOBI, WATER, CLEHE, and PHOTONICS.   

ICS25 offers a platform for researchers from all fields of science to share research insights and discuss the complex global and local challenges on sustainability transitions, the use of natural resources, environmental and climate change, and circular economy themes from a broad perspective, or those themes which are related to the conference theme.  

Please, register to the conference by filling the form at the end of this page.

We warmly invite paper or poster submissions covering the themes of sustainability transitions and the sustainable use of natural resources; these are described in detail in the session descriptions. We especially welcome submissions that explore and discuss the ICS25 special theme:   

Climate Change, Resilience and Just Transitions

The challenges posed by climate change and air quality are significant global challenges which require integrated approaches. It is essential to understand the combined impacts of natural and human-induced emissions on climate and air quality, as well as the role of natural feedback mechanisms. Grasping these complex interactions is vital for developing effective solutions to these urgent environmental issues and for implementing policies that underscore the need for integrated strategies to protect both the environment and public health. The integrated strategies across disciplines include: i) coordinating climate actions and air quality management, ii) implementing control strategies that address pollution control and incorporate health data to guide decision-making, iii) enhancing the green transition, and iv) employing sustainable urban planning.
