Juan Huitzilihuitl Flores Zendejas’ Post

This is a hugely significant declaration, which has been co-led by Professor Jem Bendell and Dr. Pablo Servigne: "Six hundred and seventy-four scholars from 53 countries, believe that 'Only if policymakers begin to discuss this threat of societal collapse might communities and nations begin to prepare and so reduce its likelihood, speed, severity, harm to the most vulnerable, and to nature.' Each signatory, with doctoral degree, endorsed a public warning on societal disruption and collapse due to environmental change. They cover more than 20 major academic disciplines, including ecology and climatology, thereby conclusively demonstrating that preparations for societal collapse are being taken seriously by experts from around the world. The announcement of the final list of signatories concludes a 3-year initiative to promote awareness of the scientific basis for exploring how to reduce the damage from societal disruption, breakdown, and collapse, due to environmental change." https://lnkd.in/ggrHyJvu

📢🌍🇺🇸🇪🇺 This weekend, a new edition of the Transatlantic Bridge Conference, an initiative Curated by the Global Policy Center (GPC) within IE School of Politics, Economics & Global Affairs, is being held in Bologna with our partners at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS), Yale Jackson School of Global Affairs, and PSIA Sciences Po.    Since its inception in 2018, the Transatlantic Bridge Conference has rapidly become a pivotal platform for fostering US-Europe collaboration, and has brought together top policymakers, scholars, and industry leaders to tackle pressing transatlantic issues. The Transatlantic Bridge Alliance was formed with the goal of strengthening US-EU ties through informed dialogue on democracy, human rights, defense policy, trade, technology, and environmental sustainability.    Join us in fostering deeper understanding and stronger partnerships between the US and Europe on the stream of the first session on Friday 14 at 17h30!: https://lnkd.in/ebyuAYzC The Transatlantic Bridge Conference isn’t just an event—it’s a catalyst for action. The conference provides critical insights into evolving transatlantic dynamics, shaping the discourse on US-EU cooperation and serving as vital resources for policymakers and researchers.   This year, the Conference will also be the ground for the presentation of a new GPC-led report over the weekend.

The call for papers for our panel titled "Transforming Water into Politics: Narratives, Imaginaries, and Practices in the Middle East and North Africa" is now open for the XVI SeSaMO Conference - Italian Society for Middle Eastern Studies (Cagliari, October 3-5, 2024). We eagerly await proposals from young researchers and scholars across various disciplines to enrich our exploration of hydropolitics and its socio-political outcomes in the MENA region. https://lnkd.in/dZqybqgG

This is a #mustread of one of our fellows and friend, Stephen Heintz, CEO and President of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund. As I have stated on their webpage (https://lnkd.in/exXXJ9KQ): “Heintz’s report provides concrete and visionary suggestions on how to make the #rulesbasedglobalorder 🌐 more suitable for the challenges of the #21stcentury. This report is a perfect example of how the Robert Bosch Academy makes a difference by supporting outstanding international leaders, providing them an opportunity and space to work on the most pressing global issues of our times. 💡 We hope that the report will further a discussion on how to make international relations more equitable and inclusive.” ⚖ Robert Bosch Stiftung

ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PAST & FUTURE OF WORLD ORDER >Decoding conflicts and World Order "In June 1965, the French philosopher and political scientist, Raymond Aron, gathered an extraordinary group of thinkers, including Stanley Hoffmann, Lord Gladwyn Jebb, and Henry Kissinger, for a weeklong seminar Bellagio, Italy. This discussion centered upon the question of whether and how a stable world order could be achieved. Could different ideological systems co-exist in an often chaotic and uncertain world? Was the nation-state the most effective instrument of global governance? What effect would transformative technological change have on global politics? The core issue the esteemed group wrestled with was if it were “possible to organize so that there can be peaceful coexistence between societies which remain fundamentally different” https://lnkd.in/dUu_RzJR

🌍 New article #anthropocene #ParisAgreement #neoclassicalrealism #globalenvironmentalpolitics 💬 The details: “Realpolitik in the Anthropocene: Resilience, Neoclassical Realism, and the Paris Agreement” by Peter Ferguson, published in Global Environmental Politics 24(2): 1–8. 🔍 The argument: The accommodation of both an institutionalist logic of absolute gains and a more realist logic of relative gainsultimately underpins the diplomatic and institutional design success of the Paris Agreement. However, the resonance of realism in this context, at least in its neoclassical form, also stems from its capacity to accommodate the heightened socioecological complexity, interconnectedness, and unknowability occasioned by the Anthropocene. 🌟 Key insights: 🧩  A realist analysis of the Paris Agreement offers novel insights that promise to deepen understanding of both environmental and nonenvironmental international regime building. 🌍 The epistemological and ontological connections between realism and resilience provide a basis for understanding and governing complex adaptive global socioecological systems in the Anthropocene.

Narratives and scenarios are now deemed indispensable instruments for imagining and bringing about more sustainable futures to ensure the continued survival of humanity on Earth. But how exactly do we go from narratives and scenarios to actual climate action? How can we see scenarios and narratives as more than instruments, and use them in a sophisticated way for anticipating futures? This workshop focuses on these core challenges. It is specifically concerned with the “then what?” question: how do we go from narratives and scenarios to climate action? https://lnkd.in/e69heTeW Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities and Social Sciences (NIAS-KNAW) Michael Boyden Ann Light Daniel Pargman Sietske Veenman
