    PROGRAM & VISITORS GUIDE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON URBANIZATION AND GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE Opportunities & Challenges for Sustainability in an Urbanizing World ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY TEMPE, ARIZONA, USA OCTOBER 15-17, 2010 Welcome! Dear conference participants, We welcome you to the first International Conference on Urbanization and Global Environmental Change, Opportunities and Challenges for Sustainability in an Urbanizing World. Over the last five years, the Urbanization and Global Environmental Change (UGEC) community has grown rapidly and generated new understandings of the relationships between urbanization and the global environment. This conference is an exciting opportunity to bring together communities of academics, decision- makers, and practitioners at local, regional, and global scales in order to take stock of UGEC science and practice. Conference participants come from 40 countries and presentation topics range from the role of higher education as a catalyst for sustainability to urban vegetation, and socio-ecological contexts for urban sustainability. We have also included special sessions such as the one on the 2014 IPCC Fifth Assessment Report and UGEC research. We want to encourage interactions and dialogue between the participants during plenaries, parallel sessions and breaks; we clearly recognize the added-value of providing such opportunities and have designed our conference structure accordingly. On Saturday, October 17th, we will hold a joint-conference day with the IHDP Global Land Project, under the theme, “Sustainable Land Systems in the Era of Urbanization and Climate Change.” The goal of this day is to strengthen existing relationships and build new networks among urban and land- change specialists to foster more collaboration worldwide, expanding the range of issues addressed.
