Abstract:

On 19 November 2015, RIHN will be hosting the 4th International Workshop on Future Earth in Asia. The theme of the workshop is “Perspectives from the South", considering how Future Earth can be developed and implemented in developing regions and what contributions to equitable and sustainable development it can make there. Earlier workshops on Future Earth in Asia have mostly considered Asia-wide commonalities, and identified research priorities have tended to gloss over the constraints and needs in countries with less well-endowed research systems. This workshop will attempt to begin address some of these issues.

The workshop will consist of two sessions, the first broadly addressing issues relating to stakeholder engagement and the second organized around the theme of biodiversity and natural resources. We are expecting about 50 participants, including Future Earth Science and Engagement Committee members, researchers from RIHN and Kyoto University, other universities and research institutes, as well as stakeholders.
