Meeting of workshops for the implementation of the European Landscape Convention

 
 

The Eighth Council of Europe Meeting of the Workshops for the Implementation of the European Landscape Convention will be held on 8-10 October 2009 at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, which is located 10 km from Malmö, Sweden. The aim of the convention is to promote landscape protection. 

 
 

Following the adoption of the European Landscape Convention in Florence (Italy) in 2004, these meetings of workshops are intended to further implementation of the landscape objectives set by European governments.

The theme of the meeting, Landscape and driving forces, provides a framework for participants to analyse progress being made in the field of climate change, globalisation of spaces, social transformations, shifts in production systems, and the impact of landscape in the international context.

The workshops held over the course of the three-day meeting will afford an opportunity for landscape practices implemented in Sweden following the adoption of the convention to be presented to specialists from all over Europe. The event will also include a number of excursions, which will provide participants with an opportunity to enjoy urban and rural Swedish landscapes.


The following workshops will be held:

  • Climate Change and the New Energy Paradigm of Europe

  • The globalscape

  • Social transformations

  • Landscape, production systems and consumption patterns
