ON THE GOVERNANCE, VALUES & FUTURES OF NATURE-BASED SOLUTIONS (NBS)
Data:
Luogo: Instituto de Ciências Sociais da Universidade de Lisboa (ICS-ULisboa)
Tipo: Iniziative di formazione
The Naturescapes project* is pleased to announce a Spring School focused on the politics and consequences of the growing engagement with nature- ased solutions (NBS) across urban, peri-urban and coastal environments. We will explore themes related to how nature is being valued, imagined, governed and contested, and the implications these processes have for transformative change and just futures in different contexts and at different scales.
Invited PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, and other early career scholars involved in research projects related to the benefits and trade-offs of expanding NBS to join our 2025 Spring School.
Prof. Harriet Bulkeley (University of Utrecht and Durham University), Prof. Kes McCormick (Lund University), Prof. Yuliya Voytenko Palgan (Lund University) and Prof. Olivia Bina (ICSULisboa) will be among the leading scholars who will accompany the events of the School. We aim to schedule two keynote speeches featuring discussions of the School's three themes.
Themes:
• NBS governance for transformative change and justice
• Urban nature: contested values, meanings and benefits across scales and landscapes
• NBS and transformative futures: whose imaginaries and futuring practices
Please note: this Spring School will be held in person and all sessions will be in English. Organizers look forward to welcoming you in Lisbon and collaborating with you at the Institute of Social Sciences (University of Lisbon). There is no fee for the School, but participants are expected to cover their own travel and accommodation expenses. Participants will be able to book accommodation at a reduced rate with specific hotels in Lisbon for the School.
