[研討會資訊]The 1st International Symposium on Nature-Based Solutions for Carbon and Nutrient Cycles
The 1st International Symposium on Nature-Based Solutions for Carbon and Nutrient Cycles
Date: Monday, February 20, 2023
Venue: 4F, Hydrotech Research Institute, National Taiwan University, Taipei
1. Background: To support the “2050 Net-Zero Transition” and “5+2 Industrial Innovation Plans” in Taiwan, this Symposium aims to establish the implementation strategies for applying Nature-based Solutions (NbS) and green circular technologies towards responsible consumption and production in the scope of the “New Agriculture” and “Circular Economy”. The Symposium will discuss several environmentally-friendly practices, such as (1) replacing chemical fertilizers with the digestate from anaerobic digestion (AD) of agricultural wastes, (2) synthesis and application of waste-derived biochars, and (3) implementing green eco-technologies for non-point source pollution control, to reduce the impacts of climate-related disasters, such as drought and/or flood, on water resource management in agricultural landscape. The purposes of this Symposium are (1) to exchange innovative research frameworks, methodologies and technologies of NbS for sustainable carbon and nutrient cycles, (2) to identify the future collaborative directions on NbS for net-zero transition, and (3) to foster the exchange and dissemination of state-of-the-art NbS research among researchers, educators, and practitioners.
2. Symposium Themes:
A broad range of topics will be covered in the Symposium, which is divided into three themes:
(1) Research Frameworks and Methodologies
- Multi-Objective Optimization for Energy and Resource Sustainability
- Incremental and Radical Innovation to Address Nutrient-Water-Carbon-Energy Nexus (Green Chemistry Practices; Sustainability and Circular Economy)
- Implementation Strategies (Improved System Management; Efficient, low-energy strategies for urban water and energy management; Design of urban greenspace networks as ecological infrastructure)
- Wetland systems, Wastewater Treatment and/or Water Reuse (Salinity, Heavy Metals, etc.)
