*Nature-based solutions to facilitate the transition for living within 
the planetary boundaries*

*27 June – 1 July 2022 – Utrecht, The Netherlands*

Sub-topic: SCIENCE BROKERS FOR TRANSITIONING TO A CLIMATE RESILIENT AND 
CIRCULAR SOCIETY

*/Session: Environmental Resilience Communication: Institutions, Media, 
Citizens/*

As human societies, we have entered a point of no return in terms of the 
consequences of climate change. Global warming is at the root of more 
and worse floods, wildfires, and extreme weather events. The discursive 
paradigm of "the fight against climate change" and its consequences is 
turning towards the need for parallel communicative action to promoting 
the management of change. Nature has resilience mechanisms that we must 
understand and accompany. For this, we need better Environmental 
Resilience Communication (ERC), an interpretive frame recently 
reactivated that interacts with the need to take urgent decisions to 
slow down global warming. ERC includes communicating and circulating 
knowledge of the mechanisms required to attenuate the consequences of 
climate change on the environment and nature: these include vegetation 
recovery, soil transformation, physical and chemical processes, species 
adaptation, and all sorts of reorganization in response to the changes. 
ERC also includes understanding and communicating how human societies 
can help foster environmental resilience. This requires joint efforts 
from policy makers, educational agents, institutions, media, 
organizations and citizens. This section welcomes proposals in the 
following areas.

  * Analysis of ERC policies and management by all sorts of stakeholders
    (governments, educational agents, institutions, political parties,
    media, organizations, local communities, citizens).
  * Discourse and frame analyses on media, political statements,
    organizational communication, scientific output, etc.
  * Analytical and critical approaches to the relationship between ERC
    and Global North/South dynamics.
  * Studies on the media production of ERC and people’s awareness of
    resilient systems, including social media, journalism, film and TV.
  * Other research-based studies that consider communication
    complexities among stakeholders and ERC.

Abstracts must be submitted following the guidelines given by the 
TERRAenVISION congress.

*DEADLINE FOR PROPOSALS 1 MAY 2022.*
