Planet Earth and life as we know it, is clearly at the cross roads. The unrelenting exploitation by the human race, from the time of industrial revolution, has gouged and ripped off sensitive natural systems of the living planet resulting in irreparable damage to the natural order. Every Environmental Impact Assessment report of human activity, only points to damning results. The latest IPCC report has sounded a bugle call which fixes a ceiling of limiting global temperature to 1.5deg C from pre industrial times failing which, we would be triggering cataclysmic results having a non reversible consequences for life on this planet. Strangely humanity in its pursuit of its so called development agenda, has no clear understanding the damage that it has already subjected to various natural systems, which contribute to the critical balance of the planet.
With this being a reality, entire humanity and academia in particular, should be at the forefront of generating data, debating and offering alternative models of living and technology so that the pace of destruction be identified, slowed and then help reverse and create the much required space for healing so that the future of humanity and life are not brought to brink of total annihilation. So from the platform of SURF 2020, the online Second Carbon Neutral International Conference, we call upon researchers, academicians, technocrats, NGOs and research establishments, to contribute their original research papers to add to the body of knowledge and lend their might, in taking on the potent challenge facing humanity.
You are cordially invited to participate in the conference SURF-2020 which will be hosted online by Bearys Academy of Learning, located at Bearys Knowledge Campus, Innoli, Mangalore, Karnataka, India, between Aug 6-8, 2020.
