TERRAenVISION 2002 – International Conference: Nature-based solutions to facilitate the transition for living within the planetary boundaries

29.04.2022 13:47 | Anonymous member (Administrator)

27 June – 1 July 2022

Utrecht, The Netherlands

Deadline: May 1, 2022

Sub-topic: SCIENCE BROKERS FOR TRANSITIONING TO A CLIMATE RESILIENT AND CIRCULAR SOCIETY

Session: Environmental Resilience Communication: Institutions, Media, Citizens

Session coordination: Dr. Enric Castelló, Universitat Rovira i Virgili, enric.castello@urv.cat

As human societies, we have entered a point of no return in terms of the consequences of climate change. Global warming is at the root of more and worse floods, wildfires, and extreme weather events. The discursive paradigm of "the fight against climate change" and its consequences is turning towards the need for parallel communicative action to promoting the management of change. Nature has resilience mechanisms that we must understand and accompany. For this, we need better Environmental Resilience Communication (ERC), an interpretive frame recently reactivated that interacts with the need to take urgent decisions to slow down global warming. ERC includes communicating and circulating knowledge of the mechanisms required to attenuate the consequences of climate change on the environment and nature: these include vegetation recovery, soil transformation, physical and chemical processes, species adaptation, and all sorts of reorganization in response to the changes. ERC also includes understanding and communicating how human societies can help foster environmental resilience. This requires joint efforts from policy makers, educational agents, institutions, media, organizations and citizens. This section welcomes proposals in the following areas.

  • Analysis of ERC policies and management by all sorts of stakeholders (governments, educational agents, institutions, political parties, media, organizations, local communities, citizens).
  • Discourse and frame analyses on media, political statements, organizational communication, scientific output, etc.
  • Analytical and critical approaches to the relationship between ERC and Global North/South dynamics.
  • Studies on the media production of ERC and people’s awareness of resilient systems, including social media, journalism, film and TV.
  • Other research-based studies that consider communication complexities among stakeholders and ERC.

Abstracts must be submitted following the guidelines given by the TERRAenVISION congress. DEADLINE FOR PROPOSALS 1 MAY 2022.
