WANGARI MAATHAI "FOREST CHAMPIONS" AWARD - ANNOUNCEMENT OF 2019 AWARDS
You are invited to nominate a candidate for the 2019 CPF Wangari Maathai
"Forest Champions" Award by 10 May! This is a unique opportunity to
acknowledge an inspiring individual who has improved our forests and the
lives of people that depend on them.
The Collaborative Partnership on Forests (CPF) is awarding one extraordinary
individual for improving our forests and the lives of people who depend on
them!
The CPF launched the first Wangari Maathai Award in 2012 to honour and
commemorate the impact of this extraordinary woman who championed forest
issues around the world. In 2019, the CPF will award another individual for
her/his outstanding achievements for forests.
The awardee will receive a cash prize of USD20,000 along with international
recognition of the outstanding contributions to preserve, restore and
sustainably manage forests and to raise awareness of the key role forests
play in supporting local communities, rural livelihoods, women, youth and
the environment.
The Wangari Maathai Award is an initiative of CBD, CIFOR, CITES, FAO, GEF,
ICRAF, ITTO, IUCN, IUFRO, UNCCD, UNDP, UNEP, UNFCCC, UNFF and World Bank,
all members of the CPF. Nominations will be reviewed by an international
jury of renowned personalities, who will also take into consideration such
elements as empowering women, youth and civil society, fostering social
commitment, promoting networks and improving the valuation of forests in
society.
Eligibility: Applicants should be nominated by a third party. Nominees may
be persons, living or recently deceased, who have made exceptional
contributions to forests. Professional and research contributions will only
be considered if they are conducted outside of normal work-related
responsibilities. Applications received from a nominee's kin or business
partner are not eligible for consideration. Applications related to
grassroots initiatives are particularly encouraged.
Selection: The closing date for receipt of nominations is 10 May 2019. The
awardee will be selected by a jury nominated by CPF members, which will take
into account gender and regional balance when considering potential
awardees.
Announcement: The awardee will be notified of their selection via email in
mid-August 2019. This year's Wangari Maathai Award will be presented on 30
September 2019, at the XXV IUFRO World Congress to be held at Expo Unimed on
29 September - 5 October 2019 in Curitiba, Brazil.
To submit an application: Please send completed nominations to the CPF
Secretariat at cpf(a)un.org. The attached guidelines should be used when

Dear colleagues in Division 7
I am pleased to inform you that the 10th International Conference on
Acid Deposition, ACID RAIN 2020, will be held in Niigata, Japan, from 19
to 23 October 2020. On behalf of the Scientific Steering Committee and
the International Scientific Advisory Committee for Acid Rain 2020, I
send you herein the first circular of the conference. Please find the
file attached. The conference webpage is already open at:
https://www.acidrain2020.org
As you can see on the conference webpage above, IUFRO is listed as one
of the co-organizers of the conference. Many of colleagues from RG
7.01.00 are involved in the preparation of the conference. The
conference is entitled “ACID RAIN 2020: The Future Environment and Role
of Multiple Air Pollutants”, which covers issues not only specific to
acid rain but also a wide range of scientific topics relating to various
air pollutants, including ozone, particulate matters, etc. Relationship
between air pollution and climate change is also within the scope.
Therefore, direct/indirect effects of various environmental factors on
forest ecosystems will be discussed in the conference.
We would appreciate it if you and your colleagues consider the
possibility of attending the conference.
See you in Niigata, Japan, in 2020!
Best regards,
Hiro
