This document summarizes the results of a brainstorming session held during a symposium on marine biotechnology. Over 250 ideas were generated in response to two questions: 1) What is the most desirable development in marine biotechnology? and 2) What is the most spectacular development in this field in your wildest dreams? The ideas fell under general categories or specific to phototrophic organisms and heterotrophic organisms. Many ideas focused on environmental and human health applications. The most highly voted ideas included developing antibacterial compounds, anti-HIV drugs, and genetic improvements to algal strains. The session revealed both practical and visionary potential developments in the field of marine biotechnology.

The document describes a Science Debate format for engaging citizens in discussions about controversial science and technology topics. Science Debates bring together scientific experts, political representatives, non-governmental organizations, and citizens to discuss issues and find solutions. They aim to ensure public input shapes decisions, not just informs them. An example debate topic described is deforestation in the Amazon and its impact on endangered species. Stakeholders present arguments on both sides, such as government officials noting monitoring efforts while scientists describe species loss. The document advocates applying the format to topics in Brazil, like cable cars in Rio favelas, and offers collaboration to help develop Science Debates.
Adaptation Futures 2016 covered a wide range of topics, from social science research focused on gender, to challenges with policy implementation, to the latest concepts in green urban design.

This document summarizes a report on farmer suicides in India. It notes that over 250,000 Indian farmers have committed suicide since 1995 due to the country's agrarian crisis. In 2009 alone, the number was 17,638 farmers, which is one every 30 minutes. The suicides are disproportionately from regions and communities involved in cash crop cultivation like cotton. The report focuses on the human rights implications of the crisis and failures of the Indian government to adequately address its underlying causes and provide support and relief to affected farmers and families. It provides recommendations for actions needed to respect, protect and fulfill farmers' human rights.
