It is time to renew membership, or to become a new member of EHC Go to http://app.synelink.fr/inscription/earth-humanity As we are entreting the second year of The Earth-Humanity Coalition, it is time for members to renew their membership, and for new members to join. Any organization can be a member of EHC, as long as it approves the charter, that you can dowload from this link. It has been decided by the General Assembly, in December 2024, that the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) would host EHC in 2025. Membership of EHC is then formalized by the signature of a Memorandum of Understanding with IUPAP (you can download a generic version of the MoU). It has also been decided that the basic membership fee dor 2025 is 1,000 €. However, if an organization wishes to join but cannot pay, in-kind contributions are accepted: the Steering Committee will decide on a case by case base. A simplified process To keep the MoU production simple, we created an online registration platform. Just click on the button “Join us” in the top menu, then on the button “Join here”: it will bring you to the platform, where you will be asked the name of the organization that wishes to join, and a person contact name and e-mail. After a simple check (to avoid spam), you wull receive an invitation to create an account on the platform, and then to provide information for the MoU and for the invoice, if relevant. Even more simple, as you are reading this post: go to http://app.synelink.fr/inscription/earth-humanity SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER To stay up to date with our projects and the development of the EHC Read more articles

We released a video presentation of EHC in June 2024. Did you watch it?

As EHC is entering its second calendar year, the last General Assembly of 2024 discussed accomplishments and projects to come, some of which are already engaged The Earth-Humanity Coalition produced communication materials and initiated projects in 2024 The first year of the International Decade of Sciences for Sustainable Development has been busy for the incoming EHC. The second one that is starting soon will undoubtedly be even more interesting. On 13th December 2024, 37 people, representing 29 members of EHC attended the last General Assembly meeting of the year (six other members were excused because of schedule conflicts, especially for representatives based in Australia and Eastern Asia). They were joined by five participants to the working groups that had been working since the September meeting of the General Assembly. A lot of achievements This meeting has been the opportunity to give an updated account of what has been accomplished by EHC since its first General Assembly meeting in April: 50 registered members; a full communication suite, with a logo, a presentation video, a website, a flyer and a brand guide; a new version of the charter; participation to several meetings and conferences, online and in person, especially: 6th African Regional Science, Technology & Innovation Forum (Addis Ababa, April), co-organized by UNESCO, IDSSD program at Zhongguancun Forum (Beijing, April), Sustainability Research & Innovation 2024 (Helsinki and Espoo, June), International Congress of the International Union of Psychological Science, Prague, CBD COP16 (Cali, October), CILAC 2024, Forum of Open Science for Latin America and the Caribbean (Isla San Andrés, Colombia, December), UNCCD COP16 (Riyadh, December); participation to the Executive Committee of the International Decade of Sciences for Sustainable Development. And many projects On the projects side, several working threads have been initiated, mainly through discussions. A webinar series about Linking Emerging Transdisciplinary Fields and Concepts is in the making. Several webinars have also been held by the World Academy of Arts and Sciences, a member of EHC, and the series will continue. The same organization is preparing two international conferences for 2025. To share transdisciplinary work, an initiative has emerged, based on the Zenodo open platform, developped at CERN. With this platform, any kind of digital file can be uploaded to a searchable digital repository. It is organized into communities, that organize as they wish to. The community “Transdisciplinary research for sustainable development” has been created. A Memorandum of Understanding has been signed between IUPAP, on behalf of EHC, and Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research, on behalf of the Belmont Forum: the aim is to develop the uploading of publications and data produced by the projects funded by the Belmont Forum. Several initiatives are planned in 2025 to co-construct the relevant community and adapt the tool to their needs.
