CIAJ’s annual conference will highlight the dilemmas between the need to protect the environment and the necessity to support economic development. How can we reconcile the demands of resource protection with those of development? Between the perspectives of Indigenous communities and those of Canadians, questions of justice and sustainability are pressing.

Understanding the resilience of ecosystems will be critical for our future considering the multiple crises that we face. Current understanding of resilience relies largely on examining the consequences of disturbances in a deterministic framework. However, disturbances will be arguably stochastic in nature. Disturbances will be multifaceted, often repeated, and probably highly variable over time. Furthermore there is uncertainty and randomness in the processes that respond to the disturbances. Consequently, resilience is most naturally explored in the context of stochasticity: randomness in disturbances must be expected and prepared for. In this workshop, we aim to bring together stochastic and deterministic researchers studying the resilience of ecosystems and the resilience of human economic-ecosystem interactions.
