🚨 As the deadline of November 20th approaches for submitting an abstract to SETAC Vienna, we would like to draw your attention to session 6.02 - "Tackling the Triple Planetary Crisis: Implementing Lessons Learned from the Past 30 Years of Research and Regulations to Solve Present Challenges." Emily Garman, Leo Posthuma, Ronny Blust, and I eagerly anticipate your contributions. 👩🏫 We encourage you to submit your insights and recommendations on addressing the current triple planetary crisis. Your expertise and innovative ideas are invaluable to our collective efforts. What lessons can you share with us? ✅ For example, how did you achieve significant scientific advancements that are now applied in practice? Do you have examples of highly effective policy frameworks, distinguished by key features? Have you identified specific strategies that facilitated the acceptance of science-based approaches? Are there particular tools that have proven essential for successful implementation? ✍ Following the session, we aim to compile an overview of success and failure factors - lessons learned to address the challenges that lie ahead. Your contributions will be instrumental in shaping this comprehensive understanding. 🍀 Don't hesitate to submit your abstract and be part of this crucial conversation. Information on the session and submitting an abstract can be found here: https://lnkd.in/ezzTZZTY #tripleplanetarycrisis #SETAC #SETACVienna

We are preparing for our 3rd #BrightSpaceEU General Assembly that will be held between 5-6 November 2024 in Seville, Spain in a local technical organisation of BrightSpace consortium member: the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission. The objectives of the meeting include reviewing status quo of the project and the progress in the first two years, discussing the outcomes of the 1st stakeholder retreat,, preparing forthcoming activities in the WPs, aligning BrightSpace Models in Modeling SJOS Indicators and Scenarios, technology and policy options for scenarios, discussing updates from the EC and working steps for the coming years, outlook to the starting up work package (WP10) on exploring SJOS transition pathways, as well as updates on stakeholder engagement, capacity building, dissemination activities and preparations for exploitation. Linkages to our fellow project ACT4CAP27 Horizon Europe Project will be also discussed. Members of the Scientific and Policy Advisory Board will be present to provide their feedback on project developments. After the closure of the BrightSpace General Assembly the afternoon of the 2nd day is dedicated to a joint event with the LAMASUS project with thematic break-out groups to discuss ongoing collaborative efforts. Stay tuned for more! #EUagriSJOS #BrightSpaceEUresults #BrightSpaceEU partners: Wageningen Economic Research, Thünen Institute, International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), INRAE, The University of Bonn, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, EUROCare, PBL Planbureau voor de Leefomgeving, @citaaragon, Technologické centrum Praha , Faculty of Economics and Management CZU Prague, Planslab Kft., Wageningen University & Research, University of Oxford

The Arctic Five is a new UArctic Regional Centre The Arctic Five has officially been established as a UArctic Regional Centre to enhance academic and research endeavours in the Fennoscandianavian Arctic.   A Memorandum of understanding between the two organisations was signed by Dag Avango, director of The Arctic Five and Lars Kullerud, president of UArctic during the UArctic Assembly meeting 2024 in Bodø. The Arctic Five is a partnership between UiT The Arctic University of Norway, Luleå University of Technology, Umeå University, The University of Lapland and The University of Oulu. It aims to lead the way in Arctic issues. Together the five universities form an alliance that will advance and share knowledge, education and innovations for the development of the region and a sustainable Arctic. This consortium represents the most extensive research and education infrastructure in the European Arctic, encompassing over 10,000 researchers and 90,000 students. UArctic, an association legally constituted in Finland, functions as a network of universities, colleges, and research institutes focused on education and research pertinent to the North. “By also establishing The Arctive Five as a UArctic regional centre, we will strengthen our network and outreach in the Fennoscandiavian Arctic, thus developing the research and educational endeavours in the region”, says Dag Avango. The Memorandum of understanding outlines a comprehensive framework for collaboration emphasising mutual support, resource sharing, and the facilitation of activities that meet the objectives of both The Arctic Five and UArctic. This establishment not only reinforces the Arctic Five’s role in the region but also aligns with UArctic’s mission to build and strengthen collective resources and infrastructures. It is a strategic step towards a more integrated and effective approach to Arctic education and research, benefiting both the academic community and the broader Arctic region. “By becoming a regional centre or UArctic we will reinforce our international network. We, in turn, can contribute to UArctic with our strong relationship to the European Union”, says Dag Avango. Photo: Dag Avango and Lars Kullerud signing the Memorandum.

How to identify safe and just planetary boundaries? One of the many important questions to be addressed at the conference!

🆕📚 Excited to share that our latest article "A spatial decision support system for multi-dimensional sustainability assessment of river basin districts: the case study of Sarno river, Italy" is now published in #LandUsePolicy journal!   🔗 You can access the full-text article here: https://lnkd.in/esjf3e3C   🔍 In this research, we introduce an indicators-based and site-specific #SpatialDecisionSupportSystem tailored for assessing suitable scenarios to foster collaborative and multi-level governance of a River Basin District. The main goal was to evaluate sustainability scenarios based on the multi-dimensional performances of River Basin District Units, focusing on the case study of the Sarno river basin and its 20 municipalities, in Southern Italy.   🎯 Our approach aims to support decision-makers in taking a step forward in #RiverBasinManagement by integrating environmental criteria with social, cultural, and economic ones in a spatial GIS-MCDA platform, allowing the identification of areas of concern. The results delivered partial and overall rankings of RBDU for an integrated sustainability scenario. The outcome is twofold: to provide recommendations for supporting governance models based on sustainability pathways and to suggest valuable methods and tools to deal with spatial misfits.   🔬 This work represents a further advancement in the research field of SDSSs, in which we keep experimenting with the integration of #MultiCriteriaDecisionAnalysis and #GIS to propose new evaluation approaches and tools for a more informed decision-making.   🙌 My heartfelt gratitude for this achievement extends to my fellow co-authors - Giuliano Poli, Stefano Cuntò and maria cerreta - for their outstanding contribution.   💬 We invite fellow researchers, practitioners and enthusiasts to check our work and share their thoughts with us!   #SDSS #RiverBasinManagement #NewArticle #Research #Sustainability #Assessment #SpatialMisfits #MCDA #PhDLife Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II
