About

About ICVCAE-2025

Arid ecosystems are facing major challenges caused by climate change, environmental degradation and excessive exploitation of resources, which are affecting the biodiversity and sustainability of these systems. In spite of being fragile, these environments have economic and ecological potential that can be exploited through innovative and sustainable strategies.
The ICVCAE.2025 congress aims to discuss ways of preserving arid ecosystems and developing their resources through a multidisciplinary approach encompassing environmental sciences, sustainable agriculture and the green economy. It also seeks to strengthen scientific research and international cooperation, propose concrete solutions to mitigate the effects of environmental degradation, enhance the value of arid ecosystems, and promote sustainable development based on the responsible use of resources.
