SUMMARY:Colloquium Speaker Series: Jenny Goldstein
DESCRIPTION:Starting with solutions: A Global Political Ecology of Algae Innovation\n \nNature–society scholars have taken on the green energy transition — but what about green materials? Despite the fossil fuel extraction and high emissions profiles associated with cement\, fertilizers\, and plastics\, there is little critical research on possible alternatives or on how a transition to a green materials future might take shape. Seaweed\, however\, is increasingly touted by scientists\, policymakers\, and investors for its potential as a climate-responsive replacement for fossil fuels in industrial applications such as plastics\, fertilizers\, fuels\, and animal feed.  \nThis talk presents preliminary research from the North Atlantic and Southeast Asia on the political–ecological dimensions of technological innovation in the global seaweed industry. Dr. Goldstein first outlines the current barriers to and consequences of scaling up seaweed cultivation for a low-carbon future. She then argues that the bio-technical innovation of turning seaweed into a climate-responsive technology is a crucial locus of power through which to understand how the green materials transition may reproduce\, or reconfigure\, global development dynamics. \nJenny Goldstein is an assistant professor of global development at Cornell University\, an Atkinson Center for Sustainability faculty fellow\, and a core faculty member of Cornell’s Southeast Asian Studies Program. Jenny\, who is also the Director of Cornell’s Center for Social Sciences Qualitative and Interpretive Research Institute (QuIRI)\, is a political ecologist and human geographer who studies how data infrastructures\, digital technologies\, and artificial intelligence mediate nature-society relations. Her current research investigates the role of seaweed in shaping the future of green industrial materials within the global bioeconomy. \n

SUMMARY:Colloquium Speaker Series: Amy Frazier
DESCRIPTION:A Geographic Approach for Co-designing and Implementing ‘30×30’ Conservation Goals\n\nThe world is at a tipping point for biodiversity\, with over a million species threatened with extinction and climate change driving a redistribution of life on Earth. The recent Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework addresses some of these grand challenges by recommending that at least 30% of land and water be protected by 2030 (colloquially called “30×30”). However\, while agreements like these are a good start\, they are rarely successful in practice\, in part because there is often a disconnect between the geographic data and models being produced by scientists and the information that is needed for conservation decision-making on the ground. \nIn this talk\, Dr. Frazier will discuss how her team is working with various partners around the world to implement conservation projects to protect the planet and how an effective co-design approach can overcome some of the challenges of using geographic methods for conservation decision-making. Woven throughout are examples of how a geographic approach\, and particularly an understanding of the impacts of scale on analyses\, can enhance this decision-making. \nAmy Frazier is the Jack and Laura Dangermond Endowed Chair of Conservation Science at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. She previously held faculty appointments at Arizona State University and Oklahoma State University. Dr. Frazier holds an A.B. in environmental earth science from Dartmouth College\, an M.A. in geography from West Chester University\, and a Ph.D. in geography from the University at Buffalo. Dr. Frazier’s research focuses on integrating remote sensing\, GIS\, and landscape ecology to study global environmental change\, specifically to prevent the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services.

SUMMARY:Colloquium Speaker Series: Abbie Tingstad
DESCRIPTION:Many Arctics: What Does it Look Like and Why Is it Important for the Future of Governance in the Far North?\n\nThe Arctic is transforming in dramatic and complex ways through a myriad of pressures related to changes in climate\, social trends and demographic patterns\, economic opportunities\, geopolitics\, and technology. Although many discussions surrounding the Arctic’s future rightly focus on climate change\, the concept of “many Arctics” – or the inherent diversity within the Arctic region – reminds us that multiple factors and drivers of change shape different areas in the north in different ways. This diversity is something to be celebrated in cultural and other contexts\, but it can also create challenges for local communities and policymakers alike in navigating intense changes and resolving the many visions of the region’s future that exist among rights- and stake-holders. \nThis lecture will focus on aspects of ongoing research titled “Converging Pressures on Arctic Development” that is funded by the National Science Foundation’s Navigating the New Arctic program. It will highlight geographical and geospatial research focused on characterizing the current and potential future human footprints in the region as a basis for exploring alternative scenarios for how today’s many Arctics might look by 2050. It will also present the results of a recently published paper examining diverging scenarios of socio-economic change. Despite the fact that the Arctic has been highlighted as an important area of dialogue and cooperation for decades\, this research suggests that finding common priorities – despite being more important than ever – may become even more difficult in the future.

SUMMARY:Wallace W. Atwood Lecture: Mercedes Bustamante\, University of Brasilia
DESCRIPTION:Mercedes Bustamante\, ecologist and professor at the University of Brasilia\, Brazil\,  will deliver the annual Wallace W. Atwood Lecture. \nBeyond forests: non-forested ecosystems and global change\n \nNon-forested ecosystems dominate more than a quarter of the world’s land area. They are widespread in the tropics\, making up grasslands and savannas\, presenting significant carbon stocks and biodiversity. While important initiatives are concerned with the conservation of forest ecosystems\, non-forest ecosystems (NFE)\, in contrast\, have not received equal attention. The Brazilian Cerrado\, the second largest biome in South America and a global hotspot for biodiversity conservation due to its biological richness and rapid loss of habitats\, represents some of the most fundamental challenges of current global crises. Despite the successful reversal of deforestation trends in the Amazon\, Cerrado deforestation continues to increase\, imperiling a biome that has already lost more than 50% of its original cover. Environmental changes may exacerbate land-use competition due to complex feedback processes between human and biophysical components in the land system\, with more severe impacts seen in the tropics due to their more significant land-based mitigation potential. Such complexity highlights how careful spatial planning\, robust scientific evidence\, and a better understanding of the political context are essential for sustainable climate policies. The achievement of the Paris Agreement requires more robust and more ambitious climate action with emphasis on the integrity of all ecosystems and the protection of biodiversity\, as climate change\, biodiversity\, and ecosystems are inextricably linked. \nhttps://bustamantelab.com.br/en/mercedes-bustamante-2/

SUMMARY:Collective Re-Worlding through Feminine and Indigenous Power: A Path to Thriving Biodiverse Ecosystems
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, we explore the transformative journey of an indigenous community in the Amazon Rainforest of Ecuador as they shift from an extractivist way of life to becoming restorers of their ecosystems. It follows the stories of key women leaders-Inés\, Rosa\, Meche\, and Mayra-who have reimagined their roles within their community\, leading to healthier lands\, empowered families\, and culturally responsive education systems. \nThe presentation explores some of the principal challenges that Indigenous communities face\, typically trapping them in a cycle of poverty and environmental degradation. It also shares how Fundación Pachaysana\, acting as a bridge\, facilitates a process of dialogue and unlearning\, which empowers these women and their communities to use their ancestral knowledge to restore their forests and build a new future. The talk concludes with a call to action\, inviting the audience to join a movement of collective re-worlding\, where their support can help expand this successful model to more communities\, ensuring a thriving\, biodiverse future for all. \nAbout María José “Chochi” Iturralde \nMaría José Iturralde\, known as Chochi\, is an Ecuadorian educator and social entrepreneur who\, for the past eight years\, has focused her efforts on socio-environmental restoration with indigenous communities in Ecuador. Co-creating and leading the Humans for Abundance program\, launched in 2019\, Chochi has pioneered initiatives that restore key ecosystems\, facilitate the unlearning of unjust systems\, and re-story Indigenous identities. Her work primarily centers on supporting women and girls in healing emotionally\, becoming leaders\, and driving positive change within their communities. Her work has been featured by the BBC and other international media\, highlighting her commitment to collective re-worlding and the integration of indigenous wisdom into global sustainability efforts.

SUMMARY:Can Deforestation be Ended by 2030?
DESCRIPTION:There is no pathway to mitigating climate change and recovering global biodiversity that does not involve the rapid reversal of deforestation. Achieving this by 2030\, a goal set by the international community\, requires pursuing a range of strategies in often complex political environments. \nSpeakers on the panel\, which will be moderated by Geography Professor Rinku Roy Chowdhury\, will include: \n\n\nCarolina Zambrano-Barragán\, director of programs at the Climate and Land Use Alliance\n\n\nCarolina Genin\, Brazil initiative lead at the Climate and Land Use Alliance\n\n\nIliana Monterroso\, Mexico and Central America initiative at the Climate Land Use Alliance\n\n\nJason Cole\, program director\, environment\, at Margaret A. Cargill Philanthropies\n\n\nJoko Arif\, director\, global climate initiative at the  David and Lucile Packard Foundation\n\n\nThe speakers on this panel are involved in funding diverse partner organizations in Indonesia\, Latin America\, West Africa\, and globally that seek this goal. These strategies include: \n\nProtecting and enhancing community and Indigenous rights to land and territorial control\nInfluencing the international trade in commodities implicated in forest loss and human rights abuses\nChanging systems of oil palm\, timber\, livestock\, and other production that otherwise drive deforestation\nNegotiating and advocating for public policy change.\n\nThis panel will explain some of this work\, discuss its potential and challenges\, speak to the place of universities in contributing to these strategies\, and reflect on the challenges of actually doing such work as an activist and a professional. There will be ample time for questions and answers with the panelists. \nThis event will be followed by a reception hosted by the Clark Center for the Study of Natural Resources Extraction and Society (Extractives@Clark)
