Dear colleagues,

 

There is an opening of a post doc position 

 at

would work within the 4-year research project ”Corporate Accountability in 
Global Supply Chains? The Effectiveness of Human Rights and Environmental 
Due Diligence Regulations”, funded by the Wallenberg foundation.

what circumstances HREDD regulations effectively contribute to enhance 
corporate accountability in global supply chains. The project focuses on 
the implementation and enforcement of HREDD regulations, the European Union 
Deforestation-Free Regulation (2023), the French Duty of Vigilance law 
(2017); and the German Supply Chain Act Due Diligence Law (2021). The 
successful candidate will collaborate with an international team of 
researchers, which includes Almut Schilling-Vacaflor, another postdoctoral 
researcher and myself. 

 

The deadline to apply is on *May 13*. 

 

Please feel free to reach out to me if you need any further information 
about the position.  

 

Best wishes,

Maria-Therese Gustafsson

[gep-ed] CALL FOR ABSTRACTS: Environmental Governance for Peace in Colombia

[Erika Weinthal]

Dear colleagues, 

I want to bring to your attention a conference and policy dialogue on 
“Environmental Governance for Peace in Colombia.”  This 
free, online conference will take place March 18 – 19, 2021 in both Spanish 
and English (with simultaneous translation).  The conference is 
co-organized by the Environmental Peacebuilding Association, the 
Environmental Law Institute, the Global Green Growth Institute, Externado 
University of Colombia, Duke University, and the United Nations Development 
Programme, with the support of the Swedish Postcode Foundation.

This conference builds upon the 1st International Conference on 
Environmental Peacebuilding and ongoing series of webinars on Colombia and 
peacebuilding (
https://www.environmentalpeacebuilding.org/conferences/road-to-geneva/associated-events/
 
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.environmentalpeacebuilding.org/conferences/road-to-geneva/associated-events/__;!!OToaGQ!7Mhg6MlvBSiPC1GXtHByenquKfXt23H2K25sAl3L9emTvch8DBbq6d-BPlsmcdD-YG5n$>
).

The conference will examine ways to improve environmental governance to 
support peace in Colombia. It will consider approaches being innovated in 
Colombia and potentially other lessons from other conflict-affected 
countries.

We are currently accepting abstracts for presentations and poster sessions 
for the conference. Participating in this conference would give you a 
virtual platform to share your work internationally, either through formal 
presentation and/or smaller poster sessions. We are exploring the 
possibility of publishing an edited volume with selected papers from the 
conference. With these opportunities in mind, if you have any ongoing 
research related to environmental governance and peace in Colombia that you 
would like to share, please submit your abstract here 
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeTxlybovcHuZTrysQcREMxqg2M46hYOZeKkQl62mb2I9lQWg/viewform__;!!OToaGQ!7Mhg6MlvBSiPC1GXtHByenquKfXt23H2K25sAl3L9emTvch8DBbq6d-BPlsmccb4wEPt$>

[gep-ed] Forum submissions on race, racism and global environmental politics

[Erika Weinthal]

As part of our commitment to addressing structural racism in the field of 
global environmental politics (
https://www.mitpressjournals.org/glep-statement 
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.mitpressjournals.org/glep-statement__;!!OToaGQ!6LWz0mYBR99lONwHggM78RAl0F0XwnInupdAHe4F66QtohmbLbQG6YsgGpg7jNDNHwHA$>),
 
the editors of *Global Environmental Politics* would like to invite forum 
submissions on race, racism and global environmental politics. We would 
welcome a wide range of forum pieces that explore race and racism in the 
practice, analysis, and lived experience of scholars of global 
environmental politics. As a reminder, forum articles comprise short 
commentaries (2000-3000 words, including footnotes and bibliography) that 
should stimulate discussion on salient issues of interest to other scholars 
in the field. The aim of these articles is to provoke thought, discussion, 
and debate amongst the readership. Articles for the Forum section typically 
receive two single-blind reviews. We especially encourage junior scholars 
and Phd students to submit. We, of course, always welcome research article 
submissions on these topics as well.

The editors,
Steven Bernstein, Matthew Hoffmann, and Erika Weinthal

[gep-ed] Global Environmental Politics Call for papers on disasters and crises

[Erika Weinthal]

Good afternoon, 

We (the editors of Global Environmental Politics) hope that everyone is 
staying safe and healthy in this crisis. 


For those interested, we are putting out a call for a special section/issue 
on disasters and crises as a way for the GEP community to continue to 
contribute to important discourses about issues of paramount importance. 
Details below. 


Be well. 


Best,

Steven Bernstein, Matt Hoffmann, Erika Weinthal




*Global Environmental Politics*

Call for Papers


 

“The politics of crises and disasters”

 

Corona Virus. Fires in the Amazon and Australia. Floods in Indonesia. 
Locusts in Sub-Saharan Africa. Disaster and crisis have always been part of 
the human condition, but it is increasingly obvious that cross-cutting and 
cross-fertilizing disasters and crises driven and fuelled by environmental 
change and globalization are part of the new “normal.” The editors of *Global 
Environmental Politics* invite paper proposals (for forums, research 
articles, and research notes) on the politics of crises and disasters for a 
special section (or special issue). Now, more than ever, we need to have a 
rigorous, evidence-based conversation on how humanity can navigate an era 
that may be dominated by crisis and disaster and the *GEP* community is 
well-placed to contribute to that discourse. 

 

Please send abstracts (up to 200 words) for consideration to 
gepjour...@gmail.com by April 15 (if possible--we are certainly flexible on 
this given all that is going on)

Reviews of selected papers will be expedited with the goal of having the 
special section/issue published in Issue 21-1 (January 2021).

[gep-ed] Re: New resource: Listing of climate change documentaries

[Erika Weinthal]

Dear GEP community,

Other resources that can be tapped for free right now are some of the MOOCs 
available at the SDG Academy. I was involved with one with other GEP 
colleagues on Environmental Security and Sustaining Peace — 
https://sdgacademy.org/course/environmental-security-and-sustaining-peace/

There is another on sustainable development, for example -- 
https://sdgacademy.org/course/natural-resources-for-sustainable-development/.

opportunity at our new campus in China.

Dear Colleagues,

I am writing to inform you that there are still a few openings next year

Kunshan University. As you may already know, Duke Kunshan University offers 
a Master of Science in Global Health degree in Kunshan, China through the

in sites as diverse as Haiti, Fiji, Peru and Ghana, and addressing 
important global health issues such as health financing, environmental 
issues, reproductive health, and cardiovascular diseases. Here in Durham, 
our MSc program has trained over 100 global health leaders who now hold 
rewarding positions with academic, non-governmental and corporate 
organizations. We are excited to be adding DKU students to this growing

Re: [gep-ed] monitoring fishery quotas

[Erika Weinthal]

Hi all,

I took the opportunity to ask a colleague who is a fisheries economist 
whether such data exists. He responded that the costs of monitoring IUU 
fishing are extremely contentious given how much area would need to be 
accounted for and the limited enforcement infrastructure, especially in 
developing countries. In short, he could not name a paper that estimates 
such costs credibly.


Best,
Erika

numbers at all accurate?

*Subject:* [gep-ed] Costs of monitoring ocean fisheries

Hi everyone,

Please excuse the potential naïveté of this question, but I’m trying
to find out if anyone’s estimated the total costs of what it would
take to effectively monitor global fisheries. Not looking for
enforcement estimates, but just what it would cost (1) to improve
current extraction estimates and (2) to get a good handle on the
actual extent of IUU (illegal, unregulated  underreported)
fisheries. In essence, what would it cost to make a fisheries
biologist happy? (Don’t think about that question for too long)

I blandly told my class today that if we can analogize IUU to a
“Darth Vader” form of “monitoring,” and if we accept the estimated
monetary value of IUU of ~10b (a very sketchy figure), then we might
be able to use the costs of IUU (nets, crew, boat maintenance, wifi
access, lattes, etc.) as a proxy measure for what it would cost to
monitor global fisheries (and assuming a profit, those costs have to
be ~$10b). Though I immediately turned to another subject in the
hopes that nobody wrote that spurious idea down in their notes, I am
still wondering if anyone’s made the estimates of the actual costs
of effective global monitoring. My current guess is that it would
far exceed the value of IUU, but it’s only a guess (kind of depends
on the extent of IUU—in a perverse sort of way, one would hope that
it would far exceed the value of IUU). Please send ideas to me, I’ll
collate, and then send back out to the list.

Thanks,

-Charlie
