Brazil		 Brazil https://www.academia.edu/s/07f427bcd1 Reframing Relationships Between Humans and the Earth: An Ecosystem Approach to Advocacy, Communication, Public Policies, Research and Teaching Programs Activity or event (e.g., meeting, workshop, webinar, conference, article, website), Learning material (e.g., video, presentation, booklet, article and website), Larger capacity-building projects or initiatives IPBES assessments, Policy instruments, policy support tools and methodologies, Scenarios and models Engagement with ongoing assessments Earth is firmly on track toward an unlivable world. After more than three decades of scientific reports and international meetings, it is clear that there is no consistent progress being made in the public and private arena towards the effective implementation of environmental objectives, in view of an integrated approach to the interrelated political-economic-socio-ecological problems worldwide. The recovery of the Earth and the recovery of mankind are complementary aspects, and must be addressed simultaneously, in space and time, for their mutual support. "Development" policies, the concept of "growth", usually associated with profit-making activities, rarely contemplates relevant aspects for the general well-fare and well-being; "progress", directed by major political and economic actors, hardly implies a change of the economic and political power asymmetries between common people and business corporations. Instead of dealing with the bubbles (segmented public policies, reduced academic formats and mass media headlines), trying to solve isolated and localized problems without addressing the general phenomenon, problems are defined and dealt with deep inside the “boiling pot”, encompassing the current “world-system” with its boundaries, structures, techno-economic paradigms, support groups, rules of legitimation, and coherence. Endurable and consistent results are not achieved by trying to integrate different competitor parts, but by the non-partition of scientific knowledge, encompassing human sciences, exact and natural sciences; all areas must be considered and validated; excellence is not obtained by the agglutination of parts, nor by the sum of isolated efforts, but by the construction of new concepts and practices to live better in a better world. Instead of taking current prospects for granted and project them into the future, the definition of desirable goals and the exploration of new paths to reach them contemplate a set of values, norms and policies that prioritizes socio-ecological objectives, human well-being, natural and built environments, the aesthetic, ethical and cultural meaning of the existence. In this ecosystem approach, spaces are opened for new allocation of meanings, instead of being trapped into pre-established problem-definitions; heuristic-hermeneutic processes develop, in the sociocultural learning niches, a capacity to ask wider questions, reframing the problems, unveiling their dynamic and complex configurations, altering definitions and ways to deal with them, encompassing public policies, advocacy, communication, research and teaching programs. Problems are defined in the four dimensions of being in the world (intimate, interactive, social and biophysical), as they combine to elicit the events and maintain or change the status quo. The objective is to open up spaces for new allocation of meanings, instead of being trapped into the path-dependency of pre-established problem-definitions and biased ways to deal with many of the problems of difficult settlement or solution in the world.

Mexico		 México Exploratory study for the design of a strategy for knowledge management that increases community adaptation and resilience capacities to Climate Change in the eastern region of the State of Mexico, Mexico. Support to communities of practice engaging in IPBES Indigenous and local knowledge systems, Scenarios and models From a methodological approach that integrates elements of education for comprehensive water management and for adaptation to Climate Change, with a design approach for transitions and adaptive management of socio-ecological systems. An exploratory study will be carried out through interviews with key actors (academics, members of civil society organizations, federal government officials, municipal government officials, teachers, agricultural producers and inhabitants) and surveys of middle school students (high schools and high schools) for:

1) Carry out a general survey of the current situation at the level of water security (access to drinking water in adequate quantity and quality to cover their consumption, sanitation, hygiene and health needs).
2) Carry out a general survey regarding the state of the ecosystems and their capacity to continue providing hydrological ecosystem services, on which both people and biodiversity depend.
3) Know if the organizational, management, infrastructure and knowledge resources available to the population allow it to be resilient or adapt to extreme hydrometeorological phenomena derived from Climate Change, such as drought.
4) Know the visions of the future of adults and young people regarding the ideal of community development.

The results of the research will make it possible to assess current opportunities, gaps and challenges. What will allow the design of a relevant and culturally appropriate knowledge management strategy, and that facilitates the creation of capacities to increase community resilience and adaptation to Climate Change.

Morocco		 MOROCCO http://www.atomm.ma 7th mediterranean conference on marine turtles Activity or event (e.g., meeting, workshop, webinar, conference, article, website) Data management and knowledge generation Message from the President
Dear friends and colleagues,
It is my great pleasure and honour to invite you to our 7th Mediterranean Conference on Marine Turtles, scheduled for 18 - 21 October 2022, which is being organized by the University of Abdelmalek Essaadi, Faculty of Sciences_Tetouan and ATOMM. The Conference will take place in Morocco, in the city of Tetouan on the coast of the Western Mediterranean, one of the most important feeding and migratory habitats for Mediterranean sea turtles.
The city of Tetouan is one of Morocco's most famous tourist destinations with a diverse historical and cultural heritage. Tetouan is considered "the most Andalusian city in Morocco”. Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, the area contains beautiful landscapes and historical monuments. The logo of the 7th conference with the map of the Mediterranean Sea symbolizes the common history of peoples and our contemporary efforts aimed at the conservation of sea turtles and the marine environment.
Since the beginning, in 2001, our Mediterranean conferences have been supported by the UNEP MAP-RAC/SPA, Bern Convention, the Convention for Migratory Species, and now by US Fish and Wildlife Service. Their support will help us bring invited speakers, and provide travel and accommodation grants in order to make this conference available to as many of our colleagues as possible.
We will invite prominent colleagues working in the field of sea turtle conservation to discuss collaborative opportunities. This is why the theme of the 7th Conference is “Sea Turtles Conservation after the Pandemic”.
The conference venue is the Sofitel Tamuda Bay Beach And Spa (https://www.sofitel-tamudabay.com), located 15 minutes away in Tetouan. The Sofitel Tamuda Bay Beach And Spa chain of hotels and resorts has a history of supporting environmental and conservation projects. They have offered us a good deal for congress facilities and accommodation for participants. There are several international airports nearby (Tangier and Tetouan Airports) and Taxi shuttles service from Tangier (1 hour) and Tetouan (15 minutes) to the Hotel.
I invite you all – students, professionals, and all who care about sea turtles and the future of the Mediterranean– to register and come to Tetouan for the 7th Mediterranean Conference on Marine Turtles. My team and I will do our best to make this Conference a memorable scientific, professional, and social event – the reunion of old friends with the new generation of sea turtle researchers and conservationists.
Looking forward to seeing you all in Tetouan!
