The document summarizes an early career scientist panel at the International Council for Science General Assembly. It identifies the panel's three priorities as leadership opportunities, career support through networks and mentoring, and incentives for science that benefits society. The panel proposes actions that national members, intergovernmental bodies, funding agencies, and coordinating organizations can take to address these priorities, such as establishing early career networks, involving early career scientists in decision-making, and developing incentives for interdisciplinary work. The panel requests that ICSU take steps to better integrate early career scientists and encourages reporting on progress at the next General Assembly.
Early Career Scientist Panel at the International Council for Science (ICSU) ...Kim Nicholas
Six early-career scientists were invited to participate in a panel at the International Council for Science (ICSU) General Assembly in Auckland, New Zealand on September 3, 2014.
ICSU is a non-governmental organization with the mission to "strengthen international science for the benefit of society" through promoting international research collaboration, science for policy, and making science more open, equitable, and ethical throughout the world. Its members consist of over 120 national scientific academies of distinguished scholars elected to provide scientific advice and service to their countries (including the National Academy of Sciences in the US, and the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, who award most of the Nobel Prizes). Other members include international scientific unions, which focus on promoting scientific subject areas (like the International Union of Biological Sciences). More info: http://www.icsu.org/
The panelists focused on three priorities for early-career scientists (integrating early career scientists in leadership, providing career support through networks and mentoring, and opportunities and incentives for science for society).
At the end of the session, a decision was proposed by UK Delegate and early career panelist Yvonne Gruender, which was unanimously approved by the voting members of ICSU.

Open Access Network Charleston Conference 2015K|N Consultants
The Open Access Network continues to evolve but remains the most promising model for scalable and sustainable open access publishing and preservation in the humanities and social sciences.
In the spring of 2015, Rebecca Kennison and Lisa Norberg launched the Open Access Network (OAN), a transformative solution for sustainable OA publishing and archiving in the humanities and social sciences. They spent the first six months talking to scholars, librarians, publishers, and academic administrators, then used their feedback to make extensive changes to the plan. Fundamental elements of the original model remain core to the OAN, including partnerships among key stakeholders and broad support across all tertiary institutions. This presentation will introduce the new model, offer insights on getting to Plan B and provide an update on implementation.

Hidden in Plain Sight: Redirecting European Farm Subsidies to Reduce Income ...Kim Nicholas
Key research findings from Prof. Kimberly Nicholas' project on sustainable land systems in Europe, particularly analyzing payments under the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP).
Slide 4:
We developed an objective, quantitative method to align monitoring and evaluation of local or national policies with the SDGs based on existing indicators, which can support evidence-based policy to help achieve the SDGs. (Scown & Nicholas 2020)
Slide 5:
Despite European ambition to be a world leader in the SDGs and sustainable agriculture, current indicators for the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) are not well-aligned with the SDGs, with disproportionate focus on three of the 17 goals, and four goals entirely missing. (Scown & Nicholas 2020)
Slide 6: 2. We identified 32 consensus variables recognized as key to sustainable agricultural land systems in current European research, policy, and practice, including social drivers like policies, environmental farm management choices such as tillage, and both social and environmental outcomes. These 32 variables should be in focus to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in practice. (Scown et al., 2019)
Slide 7: Current CAP poorly aligned with objectives & SDGs; poorly measured
Slide 8:
Over €26 billion of EU agricultural subsidies (40% of total budget) were misspent in 2015: increasing income inequality, paying polluters, and directing rural development funds to cities (Scown et al. 2020).
Slide 9
Many CAP payments went to the most polluting agriculture, instead of supporting environmentally-friendly farming.
Slide 10
Viable income support is the largest goal of the CAP. We found that more than €24 billion in 2015 went to regions where average farm incomes are already above the EU median income, indicating that further income support is not needed. Meanwhile, CAP payments to the poorest 40% of regions are not sufficient to make farm income reach the EU median. The majority of this misspent income support went to the most climate-polluting and least biodiversity-friendly farmland, thus counteracting the CAP’s environmental goals. A further €2.5 billion intended for rural development was paid to primarily urban areas. (Scown et al. 2020)
Slide 11
7. We translated, aligned, and made spatially explicit data reported by Member States, so that 16 million individual farm payments across Europe under the CAP can for the first time be analyzed by location and purpose. (Nicholas et al. 2021)
Slide 12
Our methods, code, and data are published open access. Please use! (Workflow from Nicholas et al., 2021)
Slide 13
Conclusions:
Need shared agenda for sustainable food systems
Need to use existing indicators across all SDGs to set up and evaluate policy effects
We conclude that the CAP needs fundamental reform to achieve its goals, most importantly, making income support needs-based and environmental payments results-based.
Facing the Climate Crisis with Facts, Feelings, and ActionKim Nicholas
Talk by Professor Kimberly Nicholas on the scientific basis for the climate and ecological emergencies, and what citizens can do from aligning our own lifestyles with a stable climate to pushing for change in systems of money, power, and culture. Drawn from the new book UNDER THE SKY WE MAKE (Penguin Random House, 2021). https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/665274/under-the-sky-we-make-by-kimberly-nicholas-phd/
What can wine tell us about the future of life on Earth? Kim Nicholas
Studying wine, like other living systems, tells us that life on Earth is in big trouble from the joint threats of the climate and ecological crises. We already live in a world of dangerous climate change and must urgently stop burning fossil fuels and destroying nature.
Teaching Climate Literacy in High Schools & UniversitiesKim Nicholas
In this talk, given November 2019 at the Lund University Teaching and Learning Conference, I answer four research questions.
The TL DN answer is in () below, see slides for more details:
1. What does one need to know to be climate literate? (Understand the IPCC Summary for Policymakers, which we made into a teaching framework, please use it!)
2. How well do universities teach climate literacy? (poorly)
3. How well do high schools teach climate literacy? (poorly)
4. How much do high schools focus on high-impact climate actions? (very little)
Adapting, Implementing, and Scaling up an Academic Flying Less Policy: Lesson...Kim Nicholas
I argue universities should be climate leaders, focusing on preventing and reducing emissions at the source (not offsets). Flying is a very large proportion of academic greenhouse gas emissions, so reducing flying is an important, high-impact priority for universities. I share our story from LUCSUS (Lund University Centre for Sustainability Studies) in developing and passing a low-carbon travel policy (1) based on pledges (2), and how this department-level initiative fits in with broader work for change at the university, national, and international levels.

(2) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZVRjoQAzWsx4e9okCP00d9rvXA28776hgiNTjZaDYko/edit?usp=sharing
Effective policies for reducing climate emissions from consumptionKim Nicholas
Presentation for municipal and regional employees working with reducing household climate emissions. What emissions to reduce (transport, food, and home energy), how (principles of policy design), and what works (research on effective policies and a smorgåsbord of good examples). Slides mostly in English.
I start with background data on the urgent need to reduce climate pollution, and the large contribution that flying makes to academic greenhouse gas emissions. I then argue that Lund University as a whole, and departments such as the Centre for Environmental and Climate Research in particular, should actively be taking leadership to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions to live up to our institutional mission. I focus on Lund University's new travel policy, and compare it with the substantially more ambitious policy from LUCSUS, which for example prioritizes ground travel within Sweden and within a 12 hour radius of travel time in Europe.

Innovations and progress in flying lessKim Nicholas
Continuation of business as usual trends for aviation are incompatible with meeting national and international commitments to avoid dangerous climate change. Academics are increasingly leading by example in finding ways to pursue our research, collaborations, and teaching while reducing our flying and associated greenhouse gas emissions. Here I share some updates from around the world, but focused on Sweden and my department, LUCSUS for policies and strategies to reduce flying.
