7Th International Conference on Environmental Future (ICEF7)

7th International Conference on Environmental Future (ICEF7)

Humans and Island Environments

PROGRAM 2018 Welcome! 7th International Conference on Environmental Future Humans and Island Environments

16 – 20 April 2018 | Honolulu, Hawai‘i

Organized by the Foundation for Environmental Conservation (FEC), East-West Center, and University of Hawai’i at Mānoa, the 7th International Conference on Environmental Future (7ICEF) seeks to advance the global and multi-disciplinary conversation around environmental futures with a specific focus in 2018 on ‘Humans and Island Environments’. The conference will be held from the 16th – 20th April 2018 in Honolulu, Hawai‘i, at the East-West Center’s Imin International Conference Center.

The 7ICEF aims to provide a forum for discussion and debate on the current and future issues surrounding island environments, bringing together islanders, researchers, managers, and NGOs from a broad array of disciplines and fields. The underlying questions are:

How have islands aided our understanding of human-environment interactions? What are the latest directions in island biological and cultural conservation? Where should island conservation efforts be focused? What conservation lessons do islands have for the rest of the world?

The 7ICEF differs from traditional conference formats as the lead person for each of the 18 conference themes has prepared and published a review article in the journal Environmental Conservation with the goal of fostering a focused and impactful conversation. These papers will be presented by the leads and will provide the starting point for each session, followed by invited discussants (experts in each theme) providing their own unique perspective. Other related talks will then be presented and there will be dedicated time in each themed session for discussions, and question and answers. The final day of the conference will involve workshop sessions and a webcast panel discussion bringing together some of the unifying themes and messages.

7th International Conference on Environmental Future

1 Welcome!

Professor Nick Polunin Newcastle University, UK President, Foundation for Environmental Conservation On behalf of the Foundation for Environmental Conservation, I thank you for agreeing to participate in this conference. This is the seventh in a distinguished series which began in 1971, the year before the seminal United Nations Conference on the Human Environment (Stockholm). The Foundation’s motivations for the subject of the 7th ICEF are many, but they include the contributions that islands make to global biodiversity, the vulnerability of so many of those species, the lessons we can learn from understanding how living things can co-exist in delimited small areas of habitat and the models provided for managing life on our astounding planet. This conference on the theme of Humans and Island Environments is the fruit of some four years of interaction and planning! For me it is a reminder of many privileges, not least mentors like Ray Fosberg and David Stoddart, my own researches on islands (e.g., Aldabra, Fiji, Seychelles, PNG, Caribbean) and the trust placed in me as Foundation President. The interest at the th7 ICEF is to bring together many of the most island knowledgeable and experienced people to help build understanding through publication in the Foundation’s journal Environmental Conservation and deliberation in Honolulu and way beyond, and where possible identify potential impacts on conservation policy and practice. Thank you for joining us; with luck we can make a difference, not just to our own work but to our collective grasp of how best to conserve the only precious environment we know – the Earth.

2 Welcome!

Dr. Nancy Davis Lewis Adjunct Senior Fellow, East-West Center On behalf of the East-West Center, I join my colleagues from the Foundation for Environmental Conservation, the University of Hawai‘i, and all our conference partners in welcoming you to Hawai‘i and the 7th ICEF, “Humans and Island Environments”. The East-West Center is an independent, international education, analysis and exchange institution founded by the US Congress in 1960 to promote the relationship among the people and nations of the United States, Asia and the Pacific. Islands and island populations are an important focus at the EWC. The Center has fostered significant research in the Pacific Islands, as well as in the archipelagic nations of the entire Asia Pacific region, and the Center provides educational opportunities, including graduate study and leadership opportunities, for Pacific Islanders, with targeted programs for young leaders and for women. This timely and exciting 7th ICEF with its creative program and outstanding speakers and discussants is a prime example of the Center convening interdisciplinary groups to address pressing regional and global problems. The conference’s program was designed to ask important questions about the relationships between islands and humans in ways that encourage interdisciplinary dialogue and include the diverse voices of islanders, scholars, scientists, managers, and policy makers from around the world. Together we will be seeking to advance our understanding of the challenges faced by islands and their peoples, representative more broadly of global challenges, in an era threatened by the realities of climate change, biodiversity loss, food and water insecurity, demographic shifts, and significant political instability. An ambitious key goal of the 7th ICEF conference is to suggest actionable “next steps” that will provide valuable insights for policy makers and also inform future research and conservation efforts. I look forward to engaging with you over the next few days in these discussions.

Dr. Darren T. Lerner Director, University of Hawai‘i Sea Grant College Program It is my great pleasure to join the other organizers of the 7ICEF in welcoming you to Honolulu and the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. Many aspects of this conference touch critically upon the mission and vision of the University of Hawai‘i Sea Grant College Program. Our centers of excellence in Marine Science Education, Integrated Science Knowledge and Culture, Smart Building and Community Design, Sustainable Coastal Tourism, Water Resource Sustainability, Coastal and Climate Science, and Resilience, ultimately find their inspiration and significance in our region's peoples, the vital cultures and expressive languages that they carry, the vibrant communities they create, and the environments that sustain them. Our shared island worlds inspire our work, and give us cause and purpose. We welcome all of you from near and far as we join together in this work of discovery and response to the conference themes of humans and island environments, and environmental futures. We hope this gathering will foster meaningful exchange and contribute directly to sustaining and protecting our region for a more resilient future.
