Input to the 2019 Global Sustainable Development Report (GSDR)

by Brigitte Burger

From: Dr. Ernest Foli <mailto:[mailto:efoli@hotmail.com]> [mailto:efoli@hotmail.com] Subject: Input to the 2019 GSDR Dear Colleagues, We are writing to request your input to the 2019 Global Sustainable Development Report (GSDR). The GSDR, mandated by the United Nations' Member States in the outcome document of the 2012 Rio + 20 conference, is meant to strengthen the science-policy interface and provide a strong evidence-based instrument to support policymakers in promoting poverty eradication and sustainable development. The GSDR is being drafted by an independent group of scientists (IGS), supported by a task team of six UN-system agencies. Profiles of the 15 IGS members are found here: https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/globalsdreport/2019) As part of its outreach efforts, the IGS is soliciting inputs from a diverse group of scientific and non-scientific communities, from all over the world, in the form of publications supported by short abstracts or descriptions of case studies. Currently, we are requesting contributions in four major areas: (1) interactions among SDGs and their targets, (2) transformation pathways towards sustainable development; (3) looking beyond the SDGs (major issues identified by research which are not explicitly taken into account in the SDGs), and (4) the role of science for sustainable development. Contributions will be acknowledged in the GSDR. If you are interested in contributing to this important exercise, please follow the below link to a questionnaire. https://goo.gl/forms/bWjUsJmHPZCDkqxb2 With many thanks and kind regards, Ernest Foli, PhD. Member of the Independent Group of Scientists

North American Forest Soils Conference - International Symposium on Forest Soils Soils-Forests Interactions in Changing Environments 10-16 June 2018, Quebec City, Canada Call for Abstracts Conference Information The 13th North American Forest Soils Conference is being held jointly with the 9th International Symposium on Forest Soils in the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site of the Historic District of Old Quebec City, Canada. The conference is sponsored by the SSSA, CSSS, IUSS and IUFRO. Thematic Sessions We invite oral, poster and poster/rapid fire presentations on research using field trials, laboratory investigations, long-term monitoring experiments and ecosystem modelling studies that address the conference theme and sub-themes. If possible, presentations should include a statement of the forest management implications of the work. The conference themes are intended to encourage submissions with broad representation of the various soils-forests regions of North America and internationally. 1. The role of forests and forest soils in climate change adaptation and mitigation 2. Fire effects on forest soils 3. Management practices, land-use change and soil-forest productivity 4. Technological advances in forest soils research 5. Forest soil monitoring networks and environmental change: successes and challenges 6. Societal change and forest soils: a balancing act Call for abstracts Poster presentations will be included in a traditional poster session. Poster/rapid fire presentations will be part of the poster session and an oral session where authors will give a short overview (3 minutes) of their poster content. Conference presenters will be invited to contribute to a special issue of the Soil Science Society of America Journal dedicated to the conference proceedings.
