13-14 March 2012
Nairobi, Kenya
The functions of the IPSI Global Conference are two-fold:
The IPSI Assembly – attended by the heads of member organisations or their nominated representative to review overall activities and take decisions on institutional matters.
The Public Forum – attended by all interested stakeholders
(1) to strengthen collaboration and synergies among members as well as between the Satoyama Initiative and other relevant initiatives and programmes, and
(2) to enhance understanding and raise awareness of the importance of socio-ecological production landscapes.
The IPSI Secretariat developed the following 4/5 themes taking into account on-going activities under the IPSI.
1. Capturing resilience in socio-ecological production landscapes (SEPLs) ;
2. Sharing experiences of restoring socio-ecological production landscapes (SEPLs);
3. Lack of Potential Successors in Local Communities;
4. Disaster Risk Management and SEPLs.
This is just a starting point for generating active discussion, and we would appreciate your feedback and/or suggestions on new themes which you think will enrich the discussions among IPSI members for the next concrete steps. If you would like to share any ideas or proposals, please contact the Secretariat ( isi@ias.unu.edu).
