近日，由联合国人居署等机构主办的第六届中国-加拿大-非洲可持续城市化国际研讨会（International Conference on Canadian, Chinese and African Sustainable Urbanization, ICCCASU）在加拿大渥太华成功举行，会议主题为Humanizing Urbanization: Housing, Livelihoods, and Resilient Cities in a Changing World (城市化下的人本进程：世界变局中的居所、生计与韧性城市）。福建海洋可持续发展研究院（厦门大学）（以下简称“闽海院”）副院长李杨帆教授受邀以本届会议组委会委员身份出席，并自本年度起担任 ICCCASU 副主席。会议期间，他还荣获“杰出贡献奖（ICCCASU Outstanding Dedication Award）”。

在大会学术交流环节，李杨帆教授作题为“Monitoring the resilience of urban-mangrove ecosystem towards sustainable urbanization in Shenzhen-Hong Kong Metropolitan Area” （《深圳—香港都市区可持续城市化进程中城市红树林生态系统韧性的监测》）的报告，系统阐述了城市红树林在全球可持续城市化进程中的独特作用。报告以毗邻深圳与香港的深圳湾红树林为研究对象，基于遥感技术量化关键驱动因素对生态系统的贡献，重点分析了城市化相关指标与生态系统服务的互动关系。研究成果为监测和提升城市红树林的韧性提供了新的视角，对实现联合国可持续发展目标 SDG 11 “可持续城市与社区” 及 SDG 14 “水下生物” 具有重要意义。

会中，李杨帆教授还展示了闽海院海岸带城市韧性（CoUREC）课题组在海城耦合系统研究方面的最新成果，并通过深入的学术交流，进一步了解了国际前沿在“气候变化下提升海岸带城市韧性”等重大科学问题上的探索方向。这不仅强化了闽海院相关研究团队在国际学界的认知度，也拓展了未来在海城耦合系统风险、韧性与福祉等方面的研究思路。此次参会与获奖，也充分体现了闽海院“面向国家海洋现代化治理、服务生态文明先行示范区建设、助力蓝色伙伴关系构建”的建设目标，将科研成果与国家战略需求、全球可持续议题紧密结合，为厦门大学在全球城市与海洋可持续发展领域的合作与交流注入了新的动力。
The 6th International Conference on Canadian, Chinese and African Sustainable Urbanization (ICCCASU), co-organized by UN-Habitat and other institutions, was successfully held in Ottawa, Canada in late July. The theme of this year’s conference was “Humanizing Urbanization: Housing, Livelihoods, and Resilient Cities in a Changing World.” Prof. Li Yangfan, Vice Dean of the Fujian Institute for Sustainable Oceans (Xiamen University) (hereinafter referred to as “FISO”), was invited to attend as a member of the organizing committee. Beginning this year, he also serves as Vice President of ICCCASU. During the conference, Prof. Li received the ICCCASU Outstanding Dedication Award.
At the academic exchange sessions, Prof. Li delivered a report entitled “Monitoring the Resilience of Urban-Mangrove Ecosystem towards Sustainable Urbanization in Shenzhen-Hong Kong Metropolitan Area”. His presentation systematically elaborated on the unique role of urban mangroves in the global process of sustainable urbanization. Taking the mangroves in Shenzhen Bay as the object of study, which are located adjacent to Shenzhen and Hong Kong, the research quantified the contributions of key driving factors to ecosystem resilience using remote sensing technology, and analyzed the interactive relationships between relevant urbanization indicators and ecosystem services. The research offers a new perspective for monitoring and enhancing the resilience of urban mangroves, and has important implications for achieving UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11 “Sustainable Cities and Communities” and SDG 14 “Life Below Water”.
Prof. Li also showcased the latest research outcomes of the Coastal Urban and Regional Eco-environmental Change (CoUREC) research group at FISO in the study of coastal-urban coupled systems. And through in-depth academic exchanges, he gained further insights into international frontiers concerning major scientific issues such as “enhancing the resilience of coastal cities under climate change”. The event not only strengthened the international recognition of FISO’s research teams, but also broadened future research perspectives on risks, resilience, and well-being in coastal urban systems. Prof. Li’s attendance and the award fully demonstrate FISO’s mission of focusing on national ocean governance modernization, serving the construction of ecological civilization demonstration zones, and contributing to the building of blue partnerships. By closely aligning scientific research outcomes with national strategic needs and global sustainability agendas, this event has injected new momentum into Xiamen University’s global cooperation and exchanges in the fields of sustainable urban and ocean development.
