⭐ The Pathways Communication Grants project “Transformation of coffee landscapes: co-production of pathways for sustainability through participatory serious board games" has officially been completed! The project developed CAFES (Coffee Agroecosystems Fostering Environmental Sustainability), a serious boardgames that was used as a tool to generate active reflection by local stakeholders on the challenges faced by the coffee sector. Its starting point was the research conducted by Carlos Alberto Lopez Arcadia, Martha Bonilla Moheno, and Tlacaelel Rivera Nunez to evaluate the impact of the Coffee-leaf rust outbreak on management practices of coffee producers in central Veracruz, Mexico. CAFES proved instrumental in fostering conversations on the different responses that coffee producers had to the Coffee-leaf rust outbreak. Through different challenges, actors and actions, the game allowed players to imagine desired futures and explore transformative scenarios. 💡 You can access the digital booklet of the project on our Resources page (with a digital version of the board game and its manual): https://lnkd.in/em8HwccK 🖇 Learn more about the Pathways Communication Grants: https://lnkd.in/eHghN3Hr

Wildfire researchers from Future Earth's networks - led by SOLAS - have just released a white paper outlining the challenges that fire science needs to address. This is a major community effort arising from a brilliantly transdisciplinary and inclusive workshop last year, supported by #ESA through the ESA-Future Earth Joint Program fund, PAGES and BIOS. Huge congratulations to this enthusiastic young team for getting this together! This working group are working on some exciting major projects going forward (net carbon balance of fire, state of wildfires project) too: watch this space!
