International Conference on Climate Change, Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services for the Sustainable Development Goals: Policy and Practice 27-29 June 2016 The Sirindhorn International Environmental Park Cha-am, Phetchaburi, Thailand Preface It is a great honor to have contributed to organizing the International Conference on “Climate Change, Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services for the Sustainable Development Goals: Policy and Practice” hosted by the Sirindhorn International Environmental Park and its collaborating organizations during 27-29 June 2016. The conference addressed the global development agenda – 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – and was designed to take on the thematic issues of climate change, biodiversity and ecosystem services in the context of science-policy-society interfaces. There were three streams of parallel sessions – climate change adaptation at the watershed level; biodiversity conservation; and ecosystem services protection – addressing a wide range of topics on policy, management, practice, and multi-stakeholder approaches, and their methodologies. Deliberations were in the form of key plenary presentations and panel discussions, paper and poster presentations of case studies. At the closing session, there were technical reflections and briefs on what have been discussed and the outcomes including the adoption of the Cha-am Statement which symbolizes the collective wishes and aspirations of the participants. The final day of the conference was devoted to field visits to actual projects that demonstrate real changes and contributions on relevant SDG implementation issues on climate change, biodiversity and ecosystem services. The conference was productive and it provided opportunities and potentials for networking amongst the participants. It is hoped that this conference proceedings provides a useful reading and reference to researchers, educators, practitioners and policymakers.
