Welcome to the Canadian Society for Ecological Economics Conference

This year’s theme reflects the dynamic and transformative forces that are shaping our world today from changes in our ecological and economic systems to cultural and social landscapes. Like the tides, these changes are constant and cyclical, offering challenges and opportunities for renewal and adaptation.

CANSEE2025 will explore how we can navigate these shifting currents using our intellect, creativity, and commitment to a more just post-growth future, leveraging ecological economics as both a tool and a community of practice. Join us in rethinking how societies can live, work, and thrive together while addressing the pressing need for equitable and sustainable transitions.

In Cape Breton, where the ocean meets the land, this theme speaks to the region’s identity and history. This setting reminds us of the importance of a community’s collective ability to chart a course toward a just, decolonial, and regenerative future.

We invite you to submit abstracts that engage with our theme “Changing Tides” and the related subthemes. Whether your work directly addresses one of our listed themes or takes an innovative approach that intersects, we encourage submissions that explore new pathways, heterodox economic approaches to understanding the world, and anything that inspires change. If you’re unsure how your research fits within the themes, we suggest selecting a “best fit” based on the kind of conversation you’d like to be a part of. Our review process is flexible and convivial, ensuring that a wide range of perspectives and approaches will enrich our conference.
