We invite you to join us for an amazing meeting on Geodesy in Africa at the Science Summit at UNGA79 When: Friday, 27 September 2024 | 8:30 am – 3:00 pm ET (UTC-4) Where: on-site and online event, CURE, 345 Park Avenue South, New York, NY 10010, United States Africa Rising: Shaping our Common Future Through Geodesy. Implementing the UN General Assembly Resolution A/RES/69/266 "A Global Geodetic Reference Frame for Sustainable Development" In addressing global challenges like climate change, urbanization, and sustainable resource management, accurate geodetic data is crucial. We aim to elevate the global geodesy supply chain, align geodetic science with policymaking, and advance research through multidisciplinary cooperation. Central to our agenda is integrating the African perspective to address unique challenges and contributions. This meeting focuses on advancing UN Resolution A/RES/69/266, “A Global Geodetic Reference Frame (GGRF) for Sustainable Development,” fostering discussions among Member States, international organizations, and geospatial experts. One of the key topics to be discussed the 1st Joint Development Plan for Global Geodesy, aiming to accelerate progress towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

🤓 Missed the Climateurope2 webinar on journalism and climate services? You can now watch it in full below. Experts in the field shed light on: - Best practice in climate communication and journalism - How to improve the uptake of climate Information in different target groups 💚 Have a look if you are interested in informative, engaging and scientifically sound communication

Science communication is evolving all the time. In Ceridwyn Roberts' recent webinar, she showed a diagram created and designed by Jo Bailey that shows science communication models and phases over time. It's heartening to know that most scientists understand that, even though the science is clear it doesn't mean people will act on it. Lots of researchers in Aotearoa are really getting behind two-way and multi-directional translation between science and all its varied users, so that everyone can participate, engage and hopefully change the world!

Scientific #innovation is crucial in addressing global challenges such as global warming and food shortages. And to make the best use of the expertise, brilliant minds and ideas across organizations, research collaborations are essential to achieve scientific discoveries. 🔬 However, some view scientific partnerships, particularly between the public and private sector, with a degree of skepticism. In order to strengthen trust in #science, we at Bayer set up a public transparency register, the Bayer Science Collaboration Explorer, to provide #transparency about our science partnerships with universities, public research institutions, and individuals.

📨 Over 1750 European scientists and 35 scientific organisations have issued an Open Letter to the EU institutions on the future of the Green Deal. Scientists expressed their concern at what they perceive as a systemic rollback of the Union’s environmental policies and targets. They call on the EU institutions and the Member States to align policies with the science of planetary boundaries, recognising Europe’s global responsibility in addressing climate and biodiversity crises. They ask the policymakers to prioritise sustainability over short-term gains, as the true basis for competitiveness and economic growth. The large scientific community behind WildPosh echoes the need to restore the Green Deal. If you haven't read the Open Letter yet, you can find it attached to the post and on the following link: https://lnkd.in/dHVpYUAc Researchers can still support the Open Letter here: https://lnkd.in/dMsUYiqu Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) BioAgora Project TRANSPATH Project
