-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The massive earthquake and tsunami which hit Northeastern Japan devastated much of the fisheries and agricultural industries in the region, and consequently the livelihoods of many of the people living there. This symposium will address ways to rebuild while exploring the possibility to do so with environmentally friendly sustainable policies.
Mr. Shigeatsu Hatakeyama, the founder of the NPO “Kaki no Mori wo Shitau Kai (NPO Mori wa Umi no Koibito)", (The forest is longing for the sea, the sea is longing for the forest), has firsthand experience as a practitioner in both industries and is also a survivor of the disaster. He will give a talk addressing the important but often overlooked link between the forest and the sea, human habitats, biodiversity, and the revival of agricultural forestry industries and fisheries.
His talk will be followed by presentations and a panel discussion consisting of specialists and policymakers who will address proposals to support the people of the affected regions.

WOMEN MAKING PEACE: WHERE ARE WE NOW? Maximizing the Impact of UN Security Council Resolution 1325, 10 Years On (Part 2)
32:25
08 September 2010
In October 2000, the UN Security Council (UNSC) passed a groundbreaking resolution on women, peace and security, UNSC resolution 1325. Ten years on, UNU hosted a public forum in which diplomats, scholars and civil society leaders will assess efforts in different countries and at the UN, to ensure full participation by women in policies and practices aimed at successfully addressing violence and building peaceful communities.
The forum included presentations from experts on UNSC resolution 1325 and its impact, a panel discussion, and the launch of “Women's Participation in Peace Processes”, a book by Kavitha Suthanthiraraj of Global Action to Prevent War (GAPW) published in cooperation with the NGO Working Group on Women, Peace and Security and the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF). The book will form the basis for an autumn 2010 advocacy campaign at UN Headquarters in New York during the 10th anniversary of UNSC resolution 1325.

Coping after Copenhagen: Maximizing Mexico
221:51
19 May 2010
UNU Open Colloquium
Coping after Copenhagen: Maximizing Mexico
In association with
The Embassy of Mexico in Japan
Supported by
- Global Environment Outreach Centre (GEOC) , Tokyo, Japan
- Institute for Global Change Adaptation Science (ICAS), Ibaraki University
- Institute for Global Environmental Studies (IGES)
- Integrated Research System for Sustainability Science (IR3S)
- National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES)
- Institute for Sustainable Energy Policies (ISEP)
ABOUT THE COLLOQUIUM
Amidst mixed reflections about the outcome of UN Climate Conference in Copenhagen last year, global voices present in UNFCCC/COP-15 were convinced that climate change is an unprecedented challenge and is negatively impacting life of living beings, livelihoods of poor and equilibrium of social-economic-environmental systems. Mitigation to effectuate reduction of green house gases still remain priority among nations, but is less likely to benefit the world without universally acceptable and legally binding agreement. Urgency for immediate and adequate actions to ‘adapt to climate change’ before its impacts become unmanageable has also gained considerable priority in the recent climate debate. UNU in resonance with international body of scholars also believes that while adaptation offers opportunity for all to prepare for long-term consequences of a changing climate, robust and appropriate decisions to arrest Green-House-Gases (GHGs) should also compliment the process without further delay. However, in addition to augment adequate financial and technological resources, capacities to act rapidly also need to be amplified in the world over.
To discuss these emergent issues further towards optimizing possible opportunities in the 2010 UN Climate Change Conference in Mexico, United Nations University Institute for Sustainability and Peace is organizing an open Colloquium on 19th May 2010. The Colloquium is aimed at galvanizing the opinions of policymakers, administrators, researchers and the public towards achieving following key objectives:
- Reassuring that climate change is topmost concern of present generation to ensure that future generations also enjoy the similar, if not better, benefits from planet earth;
- Advocating for robust decisions by the governments at all levels, appealing for avoidance of delays, while accepting certain degree of scientific uncertainty;
- Retrofitting policy and public opinions by engaging synergistic thinking and promoting analytical discourse.
Participation in the colloquium is open to all and is specifically targeting at academia including students, researchers, scientists, activists, environmental NPOs/NGOs, administrators, representatives from embassies, international organizations, media and concerned citizens. Key note speeches will be delivered by some of the renowned climate change experts of present times. Panel discussion will help to get further inputs from wide spectrum of practitioners and policy makers. Concluding session will include interaction with the audience.

Dr. Saleemul Huq is the Director of the Climate Change Programme at the International Institute for Environment and Development based in London, UK where his interests are in looking at the linkages between climate change and sustainable development, specifically for the developing countries. He was the founding Executive Director of the Bangladesh Centre for Advanced Studies (BCAS) and has done work in many developing countries on integrating environmental and national planning as well as assessing vulnerability and adaptation to climate change. Lead author of the chapter on Adaptation and Sustainable Development in the third assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Lead Author of the chapter on Adaptation and Mitigation in the IPCC's fourth assessment report. He graduated and received his PhD in Biological sciences from Imperial College, London, United Kingdom.
Prof. Michael Glantz is the Director of the Consortium for Capacity Building (CCB) at the University of Colorado, where he also teaches in the International Affairs Programme. Until recently, he was the only senior social scientist at the USA’s National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in its 50-year history. His interests include interactions among climate, water, environment and society (droughts, floods, fires, famines, freezes) and their impacts on the people and on political systems and economies. He undertook one of the first studies of the societal impacts of the El Nino phenomenon and proactively participated in the First Assessment Report of the IPCC in 1990. Selected by UNEP in 1991 as a Global 500 Laureate, he continues to research and write about climate, society and environment interactions and authored/edited 40 books.
