The Global Land Programme (GLP) IPO will move to its new home at the University of Maryland’s Department of Geographical Sciences in the United States on 1 February 2023.

The position at IIASA (Austria) is part of the TRADEHUB UKRI-GCRF project and several Horizon Europe projects and will focus on policies to reduce the biodiversity impacts from international trade. Deadline: Until position filled.
Nations, companies, and other institutions are responding to the accelerating climate crisis challenge by making net-zero pledges. But the magnitude of the transformation required has led to a lot of wishful thinking. Join GLP, IATP and authors of The Land Gap Report for a discussion about how we can more forward when the land required offsets in national climate plans is already equivalent to the total amount of land that is in cropland today.
This is a new type of scientific congress aimed at bridging the science-policy-practice nexus for achieving sustainable development. The overall goal of the Transformation Labs is to identify research that can help sustainable socio-ecological transformations within planetary boundaries. All events are open to the public, free of charge, and being held online. Deadline to register: 1 February 2023
For full consideration materials need to be submitted as soon as possible.
