Les pays du Sud connaissent des processus forts d’exclusion foncière et d’exposition à des risques environnementaux, souvent liés à des logiques extractivistes particulièrement brutales. Face à ces situations, on observe une mobilisation croissante des concepts de justice socio-spatiale et environnementale dans les travaux de recherche visant à les décrire et à analyser les différentes formes de résistance ou de contestation qu’elles suscitent. Mais ces concepts reposent implicitement ou explicitement sur des théories de l’État et de la citoyenneté supposées universelles. Le colloque a pour objectif de confronter ces concepts aux relations sociales spécifiques entre l’Etat et les citoyens, dans différents contextes du Sud global.

Este webinário irá explorar essa interseção com histórias de todo o continente. Os(as) palestrantes mostrarão como a corrupção prejudica os programas de equidade fundiária criados para lidar com a concentração de riqueza e a desigualdade no setor fundiário na África do Sul e como a corrupção exacerba a marginalização histórica da comunidade núbia no Quênia, entre outros exemplos. Os(as) palestrantes também explorarão como os governos e a sociedade civil podem responder efetivamente às descobertas de pesquisas, tendo como foco políticas e campanhas que promovam a responsabilidade e a transparência de informações na governança da terra. 

Las y los jóvenes indígenas se enfrentan a retos sin precedentes a medida que crecen en un mundo en el que el cambio climático pone en peligro el patrimonio cultural y las formas de vida de sus comunidades. En respuesta, muchos se están convirtiendo en nuevos líderes del activismo climático, defendiendo los derechos sobre la tierra como medida fundamental para combatir la degradación medioambiental y preservar los estilos de vida tradicionales.

Les jeunes Peuples autochtones sont confrontés à des défis sans précédent alors qu'ils grandissent dans un monde où le changement climatique met en péril le patrimoine culturel et les modes de vie de leur communauté. En réponse, nombre d'entre eux deviennent de nouveaux leaders de l'activisme climatique, défendant les droits fonciers comme une mesure essentielle dans la lutte contre la dégradation de l'environnement et la préservation des modes de vie traditionnels.

NASA’s Applied Remote Sensing Training Program (ARSET) has opened a new open, online webinar series: Introduction to Lightning Observations and Applications. This three-part, introductory training focuses on global and regional lightning data products that can be applied to disaster risk preparedness.

As the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events are likely to increase due to climate change impacts, lightning activity will likely increase as well, causing more power outages, increased risks of wildfire ignition, and increased numbers of injuries and fatalities. Therefore, information about lightning activity is critical for better preparedness against these disasters.

NASA’s Applied Remote Sensing Training Program (ARSET) has opened a new open, online webinar series: Large Scale Applications of Machine Learning using Remote Sensing for Building Agriculture Solutions. Remote sensing data is becoming crucial to solve some of the most important environmental problems, especially pertaining to agricultural applications and food security. Participants will become familiar with data format and quality considerations, tools, and techniques to process remote sensing imagery at large scale from publicly available satellite sources, using cloud tools such as AWS S3, Databricks, and Parquet. Additionally, participants will learn how to analyze and train machine learning models for classification using this large source of data to solve environmental problems with a focus on agriculture. 

Building on the successful collaboration in last year’s Annual Conference, the IoS Fair Transitions Platform (UU) and LANDac are pleased to launch this Call for a second joint Conference, which will have a somewhat different set-up from what you are used to and end with a Summit. We welcome your suggestions for panel sessions and round tables for the first two days. Building on your input, we will conclude on the last day with an experiment of democracy – a more-than human Summit. There will be limited hybrid options for participation in the Conference and the Summit.
