Applying the Ecosystem Services Approach in Alberta: a Panel Discussion

September 10, 2014, Calgary, AB

As part of the Under Western Skies conference at Mount Royal University, the Miistakis Institute is hosting a panel discussion on “Ecosystem Services.” Panelists will comment on how the Ecosystem Services approach is being applied to land and resource management in Alberta, and then collectively explore how we can better employ the Ecosystem Services approach in conserving Alberta’s natural capital and supporting human well-being.

Four Ecosystem Services experts will comment on this question from their unique vantage point:

• Geneva Claessen, Deloitte;

• Gillian Kerr, Government of Alberta;

• Marian Weber, Alberta Innovates Technology Futures; and

• Mark Anielski, Genuine Wealth Inc.
