Our lecture series continues with Dr. Prajal Pradhan sharing his research "A threefold approach to rescue the 2030 Agenda from failing" and highlighting SDG 2 Zero Hunger, the agriculture and nutrition aspects. 🥣🥗 Although SDGs aim to shift the world onto a sustainable and resilient path, countries are not yet able to make transformative changes for long-term sustainability that require building social prosperity and foundations within planetary boundaries. Failing to achieve SDGs will negatively affect billions of people and worsen environmental conditions and socio-economic problems. BeyondSDG aims to understand the necessary conditions for long-term sustainability, including achieving SDGs. 💬 About the speaker: Prajal Pradhan, an Assistant Professor at the University of Groningen, studied agricultural engineering and environmental management. He has received the ERC Starting Grant 2022. Prajal was a lead author of the IPCC Special Report on Climate Change and Land.

How to go #fossilfree as a university? Learn in our webinar tomorrow (17 September, 16:00 - 17:00)! 🌐 Cutting ties with the fossil fuel sector is a multifaceted and complex process. Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU Amsterdam) made the first transformative step when the executive board announced that will no longer enter into research partnerships with companies in the fossil fuel industry, unless those companies demonstrably commit to the Paris Agreement. With this decision, VU became the first university in the Netherlands and the second university in the world to stop collaborations with the companies of the fossil fuel industry. 🌱In April this year, VU Amsterdam celebrated the signing of the new fossil-free research framework which sets clear criteria that companies in the fossil energy sector must meet in order to demonstrably commit to the #ParisAgreement. This SDG Academy delves into the topic of fossil fuel severance as a university, the development of the VU framework on Fossil Free Research and the journey of VU since the divestment decision. The webinar will feature expert speakers: Aaron Pereira (Solid Sustainability Research), Marjan Hofkes (VU School of Business and Economics), Mathieu Blondeel (IVM Institute for Environmental Studies), and Philipp Pattberg (ASI/IVM).

https://lnkd.in/eGRS49Mg <<As described in the report Flipping the Science Model: A Roadmap to Science Missions for Sustainability, the Commission calls for a ‘mission science’ approach, meant to overcome the fragmented, compartmentalized scientific knowledge that often fails to connect with and to address society’s most immediate needs. It seeks to work in a transdisciplinary, collaborative way that is demand-driven and outcome-oriented.  Convened by the International Science Council (ISC), the Commission includes the former heads of UN agencies and government ministries as well as heads of national science academies and foundations. >> #ISC #UN #sciencemodel #sustainability #mission #society #transdiciplinarity #academies #AcademiaRomana #CIOSUERD #foundations #ambassadors #development #resilience #networking
