ACES 2022 Call for Sponsors & Session Proposals | December 12-15 in the Greater Washington D.C. Area

Call for Sponsors & Session Proposals

We are excited to announce ACES will meet

IN PERSON, December 12-15, 2022!

ACES: A Community on Ecosystem Services represents a dynamic and growing international assembly of professionals, researchers, and policy-makers involved with ecosystem services. The ACES 2022 conference brings together this community in partnership with Ecosystem Markets and the Ecosystem Services Partnership (ESP), providing an open forum to share experiences, methods, and tools for assessing and incorporating ecosystem services into public and private decisions.

The focus of the conference is to link state-of-the-art science, practice, and decision making by bringing together the ecosystem services community and decision makers from around the United States and the globe.

ACES engages leaders in government, NGOs, academia, Native American tribes, and the private sector to advance the use of ecosystem services science and practice in resource management and other societal decisions.

We can't wait to see you in December, and to meet face-to-face to learn the latest science, application, and implementation of ecosystem services.

Call for Session Proposals

Submission Deadline: April 15, 2022

In 2022, as we meet in the Nation's capital, we want to build on our discussion of the future of ecosystem services. Let's come together and focus on "Leveraging Opportunities for Ecosystem Services Implementation."

Our focus will include the following topics:

The intersection of climate science, policy, and ecosystem services
Ecosystem services use in environmental markets, incentive programs, and nudges
The role of ecosystem services in traditional and nature-based infrastructure planning and implementation
Ecosystem services to support America the Beautiful and other conservation initiatives (including environmental justice and social components, Climate Change and Biodiversity)
State of the science and applications of ecosystem services

These topics will form the major emphasis and organization of the conference in 2022; however, they are not intended to exclude or discourage submission of organized sessions and/or individual abstracts that may not fit within them that are relevant to ecosystem services. We want to capture all emerging topics and new ideas critical to ecosystem services!

Session Recordings from ACES 2021 Virtual Roundtable

The program and steering committees were honored to host “A Community on Ecosystem Services Online Virtual Roundtable" in December 2021.

The Roundtable gave all of us an opportunity to maintain momentum and connect with fellow members of the ACES community on timely ecosystem services topics. We were able to garner valuable input which will be used to inform a small writing team with formalizing the ACES community perspective and communicating that to policy makers.

If you were not able to attend, sessions were recorded, and can be viewed on the ACES 2021 Roundtable web site.
