Dear colleague, As I tend to our garden and enjoy our Northern Hemisphere summer tomato harvest, I’m already looking forward to an activity-filled fall for the global change and sustainability science community. In September, Future Earth will gather for its 2nd General Assembly (though the first in-person) in Paris. Another important celebration, the Silver Jubilee (25 years) of the NASA Land Cover Land Use Change (LCLUC) Program, will take place in October with the first in-person LCLUC Annual Science Team Meeting since 2019. Indeed, we are gathering again, in person, in many parts of the world. Resuming travels brings new challenges and new things to think about in terms of how we, the GLP community, interact and do our work as a key global network for global change and land system science. How much to travel? How to ensure equity and fairness in how we gather? These are things GLP is working on and thinking about, and we look forward to sharing more on this front in the coming months! Please reach out with any questions, thoughts, ideas anytime at adebremond@glp.earth. We’d love to hear from you!
Ariane de Bremond, Executive Officer |
