GLP contributes to global report on land tenure and governance | Global Land Programme

Check out the write up for the @fao.org Land Tenure & Governance report highlighting GLP's Science Lead Ariani Wartenberg: www.glp.earth/news/glp-con...

Cover of Mountain Research and Development, Vol 46, No 1. The cover photo, taken by Jean Miczka, shows the view down a rocky slope toward the Mer de Glace glacier, with numerous people walking on metal stairs and bridges connecting our vantage point to the glacier. This infrastructure is needed to keep the glacier accessible to tourists as it melts and exposes more and more steep rock.

Mountain Tourism—Trends and Transformations Toward Sustainability and Resilience: Articles in our new focus issue offer insights on efforts to adapt mountain tourism to climate change and to transform the sector for greater sustainability, equity, and resilience. See here: bioone.org/toc/mred/46/1

Creating Communities to Help Interdisciplinary Scientists Thrive - Eos Solving complex challenges often requires diverse expertise, but skepticism remains within traditional academic institutions and mindsets regarding interdisciplinary science and scientists.

Experiences from @glp-earth.bsky.social offer lessons and steps—especially for early-career scholars—for finding or building supportive communities that span fields and sectors, foster belonging, and spark scientific innovation.
