The Asia-Pacific Network for Global Change Research has issued a call for applications for the Workshop on “Governing Critical Uncertainties: Climate Change and Decision-Making in Transboundary River Basins”
The workshop will be held during 21‐23 January 2013 at Chiang Mai, Thailand. The organizers are the Unit for Social and Environmental Research, Faculty of Social Sciences, Chiang Mai University and the Earth System Governance Project. The workshop is sponsored by the Asia‐Pacific Network for Global Change Research and endorsed by the Global Water System Project.
Workshop aims to help early career researchers:
- Increase their understanding of the implications of analytical and normative uncertainties associated with climate change and other large‐scale drivers for the governance of transboundary river basins;
- Strengthen and expand their network with other early career researchers as well as more established experts in the Asia‐Pacific region and beyond.
The workshop is designed for early career researchers in the Asia‐Pacific Region working in the field of environmental governance and with interests in transboundary river basins.
The organizers expect to be able to provide funding for up to 20 participants, covering travel expenses, accommodation and full catering. Logistical support will be provided for travel arrangements and visa applications.
Selected participants will need to write a short paper (2000‐3000 words) about a transboundary water governance issue in their region, preferably making links to the issue of uncertainty in decision making, prior to attending the workshop and to make a brief presentation on their papers at the workshop. Participants are encouraged to base their papers on their own research as far as possible but also to review relevant work as needed.
Deadline for applications is 15 October 2012.
