The document discusses the challenges of integrating social science input into policies addressing global environmental change in order to meet demands from processes like transitioning to a green economy. It notes that business as usual is not an option and that stronger integration of social and natural sciences is needed. It outlines the International Human Dimensions Programme's work to meet the challenges posed by ICSU and Belmont, including understanding human values, institutions, and behaviors as the planet changes.

China taking over USA and the West in Climate Change Coping amulya123
In 2017, it is crystal clear that China is taking over global leadership with stalwarts of the West: USA and England explicitly dumping Climate Change as not even existing after demonizing China as a "Third World" country exempt from Greenhouse Gases Emissions control in the earlier Kyoto Protocol proposals. But China had been investing in massive non Greenhouse Gases emitting industrial and economy at a scale larger than all of the West as this Indian bureacrat, Sanwal, normally not a friend or admirer of China, pointing this out as early as 2011 before the Rio+20 conference, and my graduate student has done a nice presentation about this Paper.
The Social Challenge of 1.5°C Webinar: Ioan Fazeytewksjj

Approaches of studying environmental managementSushanta Gupta
A view of natural environment as an all encompassing entity that simply exists not as a passive feature there to server human needs, but as a set of active processes that define a behavior and established patterns that interact with and the redirect human trajectories
From 27-29 October 2014, WLE, in cooperation with the CGIAR Systemwide Program on Collective Action and Property Rights (CAPRI) and the CGIAR Research Program on Forests, Trees, and Agroforestry (FTA), held a workshop on Institutions for Ecosystems Services in Washington DC.
The goals of the workshop were to:
-Encourage sharing and discussion on research methods and tools to study the links between institutions and ecosystem services
-Synthesize lessons about institutional arrangements needed to ensure that ecosystem services projects are able to deliver benefits to local resource users and produce local, regional, and national global environmental benefits
-Identify policies and program interventions that can strengthen these institutions
-Outline priorities for future research, policy, and project implementation, particularly of relevance for PIM, WLE, and FTA programs

The presentations from the first ever Thrive Sustainability conference (without video due to size), which was held on Tuesday 12 May at the Lighthouse Cinema, Newquay, as part of Cornwall Business Week.
The event was organised by Mark Picken (MPAD) and Richard Wadman (Francis Clark) and featured Rachael Bice (Local Nature Partnership), Kathi Kaesehage (University of Exeter), Caroline Robinson (Clear Mapping Company), Richard Argall (Mojo Maritime) and Veryan Jones (Cornwall Sustainability Awards)
This session is the first in a two-part program series about healthy communities planning in Orange County. In Part 1, you will learn about the nexus between public health and planning, and ways in which multi-sector efforts in Orange County can support the development of healthy communities. The presentation will also include a discussion of existing partnerships between cities and the county, and current national, state and local initiatives, concluding with a case study on a healthy community initiative that is currently being undertaken in the City of San Clemente.

Strathfillan - This Place Matters presentationwmud
Nobody knows a community better than the people living and working there – need community focussed solutions
To move away from ‘one size fits all’ method of providing services and recognise the difference between our rural communities and the city
Challenging economic times - need to be more collaborative and innovative
This is a way of testing unique and forward thinking solutions to local issues
This is a Stirling Council and Community Planning Partners project. We want to support our communities to be thriving, well connected and proud places to live and work. We want to work in new ways so that we can collectively identify local needs and priorities. We want to test community led solutions to local issues (tangible projects)
