SUMMARY:Joint Summer School on Modelling Tools for Sustainable Development 2022
DESCRIPTION:An ICTP Virtual Meeting \nThe Joint Summer School on Modelling Tools for Sustainable Development 2022 (#SDSummerSchool) will be held from 30th May to 16th June. Hosted by the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP)\, this is a fantastic opportunity to get free training\, access to discussion forums\, and coaching skills in models and tools for all of your energy planning needs. \nThere are six tracks listed below\, each focusing on different tools. Note that you must complete the Open University course of your one desired track and obtain a certificate as part of your application to the Summer School (see this link to the courses and video instructions on how to enrol on a OU course). The tracks are developed with UNDESA\, IAEA\, UNDP\, IRENA\, The World Bank Group\, GIZ\, the OpTIMUS community of practice\, several universities\, and the Climate Compatible Growth (#CCG) program. \nThe Summer School is split into two parts:\n(1) you will be trained to build on the skills you obtained from the Open University course;\n(2) you will use your new skills to conduct analyses on country-specific case studies\, with assistance being provided from trainers. \nPlease see programme overview at the bottom of this page. \nBesides receiving the certificate of completion from the Open University Course\, you will also receive an ICTP certificate on attendance and successful completion of the Summer School (obtained after attending the Summer School). \nTracks: \n\nOnSSET/The Global Electrification Platform\nEnergy and Flexibility Modelling: OSeMOSYS & FlexTool\nFinancial Analysis of Power Sector Projects using the FinPlan Model\nEnergy demand assessment and scenarios: MAED and EBS tools\nIntroduction to CLEWs\nAgent-based energy systems modelling: MUSE\n\nFor detailed description of the different tracks\, click here. \nPrerequisites: The prerequisites to be admitted to the Summer School are provided at the bottom of this page. \nComputer & connection requirements: Note that participants will require a computer with stable internet access to participate in the training.

SUMMARY:Sustainability Research & Innovation Congress 2022
DESCRIPTION:June 20-24\, 2022\, Online and onsite in Pretoria\, South Africa \n\n The Sustainability Research & Innovation Congress is a series of gatherings that unite global research leaders\, experts\, industries and innovators to inspire action and promote a sustainability transformation. Hosted by the Future Africa Institute at the University of Pretoria\, SRI2022 will build on the success of the first SRI Congress which took place in June 2021 and featured 700 speakers and 2\,000 participants from 100 countries. \n\n\n\nAn important objective of SRI2022 is to amplify the voice of sustainability science and innovation in the Global South\, specifically for the African continent\, through raising awareness and propelling discussions about sustainable priorities for Africa. \n\n\n\nSession Proposals:  \n\n\n\nSubmit your session proposal by February 18\, 2022. \n\n\n\nThis call for session proposals is open to groups composed of anyone working in sustainability science and practice\, which includes the research sector\, government\, business\, philanthropy\, art and civil society. The second edition of the SRI Congress will be held in Pretoria\, South Africa\, June 20-24\, 2022\, and online. \n\n\n\nFor this call\, proposal are accepted on the four Congress themes: \n\n\n\n\nNexus issues: Novel perspectives looking at critical intersections in multiple areas including but not restricted to sustainable food systems and human wellbeing; resilience\, adaptation and addressing risk; evidence-based and actionable contributions to the SDGs and beyond; narratives of progress\, wealth and well-being; water\, food\, energy\, society; resources use efficiency.\nDifferent ways of knowing: Recognizing that knowledge is versatile\, SRI2022 explores the various ways of understanding\, conceptualizing\, and learning about the world. An inclusive approach to knowledge will dramatically broaden the spectrum of solutions available for action-forward sustainability work.\nNew horizons: Sustainability is about our relationship with the future\, and SRI2022 seeks to explore emerging issues and trends that shape our world tomorrow. In a time of rapid change\, looking ahead is more important than ever. What are the challenges and solutions that might surprise us? How can we get ahead of the curve and build our preparedness and resilience? How to predict the unpredictable? Who are the new players and what are the unlikely coalitions? Under this theme\, we are particularly open for new if not unexpected ideas.\nAfrican science and innovation (Cross cutting theme): One of the key objectives of SRI2022 is to showcase the richness of African science and innovation in sustainability. From tested local solutions to advanced academic research\, the African continent has a wealth of knowledge and innovation to offer to the wider world. In addition\, SRI2022 is hoping to strengthen the inter-African dialogue and networks by offering an inclusive platform for increased visibility and collaboration.\n\n\n\n\nSubmission deadline is February 18\, 2022\, at 23:59 SAST (UTC +2). Oceania satellite deadline is February 28\, 2022\, at 23:59 AEST (UTC +1). \n\n\n\nClick here to submit a proposal. \n\n\n\nClick here to register for the program. Stay tuned for more information!

SUMMARY:Call for Papers: International Workshop on “The Water-Energy-Food-Nexus: Implementation and Examples of Applications”
DESCRIPTION:International Workshop on\n“The Water-Energy-Food-Nexus: Implementation and Examples of Applications”\n04 October 2022: 08:45-10:30 and 11:15 to 13:00 hours (TBC)\nAdelaide\, Australia \nBackground: \nThe world’s population is expected to grow from 6 billion today to at least 9 billion by the year 2050. The population growth\, urbanization and industrialization are imposing rapidly growing demands and pressures on the water and energy resources and causing in many cases imbalance between supply and demand. This growing imbalance has led to shortages\, competition\, and other environmental pressures. Achieving food\, water and energy security as well as improving the quality of life\, while preserving the environment\, will continue to pose major challenges to Scientists\, Decision makers and Technicians in the next few decades. Irrigation globally consumes around 70% of freshwater resources. This water is becoming increasingly scarce. Therefore\, improving water and energy use efficiency and productivity in agriculture practices will be significant and valuable. \nThe interdependence of the water\, food and energy is well known since early civilization. Farmers had to lift water using waterwheels run by cattle to bring water to the surface and irrigate fields. The present challenge is how to produce more crop per drop per kwatt energy per unit area of land. This is the essence of new focus on the nexus. \nObjectives: \nThis Workshop will bring together experts from all over the world to share information\, experience\, and views on how to implement the water-energy-food nexus in agriculture. The focus will be on the practice application and address the three elements of the Nexus: Water\, Food and Energy. \nTheme/Sub-themes: \nThe main theme of the International Workshop of Working Group is “The Water-Energy-Food-Nexus: Implementation and Examples of Applications”. \nSub-topics/ Sub-themes:  \n(i) Water-Energy-Food-Nexus at field\, regional and country scales. Examples of applications; \n(ii) How the environment and ecosystem services benefit from the Nexus; \n(iii) Economic analysis of food production within the nexus; \n(iv) Management practices that promote the Nexus; and \n(v) Institutional and Governance issues in implementing the Nexus. \nAbstracts / papers are invited and encouraged from professionals\, researchers\, experts\, practitioners\, managers\, and policy-makers on the State\, Province or Local levels based on the mandate of the WG. \nSCHEDULE FOR SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS / FULL PAPERS \ni. Submission of abstracts (max. 600 words) : 30 May 2022 \nii. Notification of acceptance : 15 June 2022 \niii. Submission of full papers (max. 10 pages of A-4 size) : 30 July 2022 \niv. Notification of acceptance of full papers : 01 August 2022 \nThe Workshop is being organized by ICID’s Working Group on Water Food Energy Nexus (WG-WFE_N) during the 24th ICID Congress and 73rd International Executive Council (IEC) Meeting from 03-10 October 2022 at Adelaide\, Australia. \nContact-coordinates: \nWorkshop Chairman: Dr Ragab Ragab\, President of ICID\, Chairman of the Working Group on “Water-Energy-Food Nexus” and Fellow at UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology\, UKCEH\, UK email: ragab@icid.org \nDr. K Yella Reddy\, Vice President Hon.
