SUMMARY:E-Learning Course: Sustainability of Social-Ecological Systems: The Nexus between Water\, Energy and Food
DESCRIPTION:Overview \nIn this course you will become familiar with the ideas of the water-energy-food nexus and transdisciplinary thinking. You will learn to see your community or country as a complex social-ecological system and to describe its water\, energy and food metabolism in the form of a pattern\, as well as to map the categories of social actors. We will provide you with the tools to measure the nexus elements and to analyze them in a coherent way across scales and dimensions of analysis. In this way\, your quantitative analysis will become useful for informed decision-making. You will be able to detect and quantify dependence on non-renewable resources and externalization of environmental problems to other societies and ecosystems (a popular ‘solution’ in the western world). Practical case studies\, from both developed and developing countries\, will help you evaluate the state-of-play of a given community or country and to evaluate possible solutions. Last but not least\, you will learn to see pressing social-ecological issues\, such as energy poverty\, water scarcity and inequity\, from a radically different perspective\, and to question everything you’ve been told so far. \n\nLevel: Intermediate\nCommitment: 4-6 hours/week\nLanguage of Instruction: English\nPass all graded assignments to complete the course\n\nView Syllabus Here \nEnrollment and Dates \nEnroll can be completed on the Coursera website.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Draft scoping reports for the IPBES nexus and transformative change assessments
DESCRIPTION:Details\nDate: 14 July 2020\nTime: 15:00 – 16:45 CEST\nPlease click here to register: https://bit.ly/2YaxWiE \nFor more information please visit IPBES website \nAbout\nThe review of the draft scoping report for the nexus assessment (thematic assessment of the interlinkages among biodiversity\, water\, food and health in the context of climate change) is currently ongoing between 5 June and 31 July 2020 (EM/2020/14). The review of the draft scoping report of the transformative change assessment (thematic assessment of the underlying causes of biodiversity loss\, determinants of transformative change and options for achieving the 2050 vision for biodiversity) will follow shortly: from 3 July to 28 August 2020. A virtual dialogue meeting for national focal points to support them in reviewing the drafts will be held from 6 to 10 July 2020\, as announced in notification EM/2020/17. \nIn addition\, all interested stakeholders are invited to participate in a webinar\, during which scoping experts will present the draft scoping reports and discuss clarifications on the reports in response to questions from participants. The webinar will be held on 14 July 2020\, 15:00 – 16:45 CEST in the context of IPBES’ work on capacity-building and stakeholder engagement (objectives 2 and  5 of the IPBES work programme up to 2030). \n  \n
