Welcome to the 11th International Conference of the European Society for Ecological Economics (ESEE), which was hosted by the University of Leeds, UK on 30 June – 3 July 2015.

ESEE 2015 explores solutions for the transformation to a sustainable society, building on the distinctive contribution of ecological economics, by shining a spotlight on the interdependency of economic activity and natural systems, and identifying options that prioritise human wellbeing within planetary boundaries. The conference contributes to the dissemination of knowledge on these issues, through oral and poster presentations, keynote lectures from prominent scholars, and lively formal and informal discussions.
