Global Footprint Network is calling for abstracts for presentation at Footprint Forum: The Opportunity of Limits to be held June 7-11, 2010, in Colle di Val d’Elsa, Italy, just outside of Siena, Italy. Submissions are welcome on a range of issues and disciplines related to the Ecological Footprint (i.e., carbon, trade, and biodiversity and water). Nine abstracts will be selected in total – three to be presented at each of the Forum’s three 75-minute sessions. If your abstract is selected, you will have the opportunity to speak at the session for up to 15 minutes, followed by at least 10 minutes of discussion. In addition, a special issue of Ecological Indicators will include extended versions of a selection of papers presented at Footprint Forum.
