 CANSEE is engaged in three main activities:

  1. Planning for 2017 CANSEE conference in Montreal. This conference will be co-organized with the Economics for the Anthropocene program (offered through York University, McGill University and the University of Vermont). The date of the conference is yet to be finalized but it will be sometime in the fall of 2017.
  2. Collaborating with the Alternatives Journal toward the development, production and publication of a dedicated special issue exploring the theme of Ecological Economics.
  3. Rebuilding and updating the CANSEE website

ECOECO  Brazil

  1. As an outcome of the Washington ISEE’s Latin American Roundtable, the “‘New’ Washington Consensus” agreed to by the Presidents of the four Latin American Ecological Economics Societies is in final Spanish edit for publication as a note in the Revista Iberoamericana de Economia Ecológica (REVIBEC), thanks to major contributions of the Argentinan-Uruguayan Ecological Economics Association. It will also soon be available in English for publishing on the ISEE site to be considered as a basis for consideration as a statement by the broader Society.
  2. Clóvis Cavalcanti and Joseph Weiss presented at a special joint panel of the Brazilian Ecoeco and the Brazilian Society of Rural Economics, Sociology and Administration (SOBER) in Maceió, Brazil in September, including a 50-year historical review of agricultural policies in the context of Ecoeco.
  3. ECOECO’s 12th Biennial Conference, entitled: “Ecological economics and environmental institutional capabilities in times of crisis” will be held from 19 to 22 September 2017, hosted by the Federal University of Uberlândia, Santa Mônica Campus, Uberlândia-Minas Gerais. Possible keyniotes include: Ricardo Abramovay (confirmed), Josh Farley (interested) and Rudolf de Groot (interested).
  4. Clóvis Cavalcanti, Stuart Scott and, in solidarity, Peter May have been involved since the Conference in Washington, in efforts to mobilize global support for and hold meetings with like-minded scholars, clergy and His Holiness Pope Frances at a public audience at the Vatican, confirmed for November 2016. ECOECO has pledged to support up to 50% of Clovis Cavalcanti’s travel expenses to Rome, and requests that ISEE match this pledge. Unanimous support was received from virtually the entire 22 members of the ECOECO directorate to endorse this effort and provide financial support toward it, recognizing, however that this mission and the parallel effort to secure the Nobel Peace Prize for “Sustainable Development” leaders (Herman Daly, Pope Francis and the Club of Rome) constitute missions of importance to ISEE as a whole and merit global endorsement.
  5. Peter May and Walter Pengue, both leading members of the Ecological Economics community, are members of the Project Steering Committee of the TEEB AgriFood initiative.  The project has issued calls for evidence and collaborating authors of its report in progress on the Economic and Scientific Foundations of Agricultural Systems, and invite those involved in these issues to submit their papers and/or CVs, respectively, at the above site.
